No difference Dorinda, just two ways of saying the same thing -

Hello, some sources tell that, for people, you can never use "lequelle", "laquelle", but just "qui". So, as far as I understand, this information is not correct and we can use lequel (and others) for people as well. Am I correct?

Many thanks for answer in advance, because this inconsistency makes me feel confused...
