Possibly of interest to the current interests of the listers? "The major part of Alsace became French after the Treatises of Westphalia (1648), however some territories and towns did so later (Strasbourg 1681, Mulhouse 1799). The French King Louis XIV thought it was better "not to touch to Alsatian affairs", even though he favored the Catholics wherever he could and the Protestants were subjected to much vexation and injustice (but no real persecution as in "old" France). Even though Alsace was French in 1685, the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes had no dramatic effects in Alsace, apart of course that many French Huguenots crossed Alsace to flee to Germany and many of them even settled down in Alsace (especially Bischwiller and Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines)".
There was a "Filliaux" that was executed at the guillotine during the reign of Louis XIV. I am trying to find his first name and any additional information. Does anyone know how I would go about this?

Hi Sharon; Hope this helps somewhat for you in your research. I found a Simon Filoux. I cannot not read French although it doesn't look to bad. I found this website maybe can help you. http://les.guillotines.free.fr Hope this helps you... Regards, Patricia
Thank you for this site. My French was learned in high school 60 years ago, and it amazes me that I can still read and understand most of it.

Dorothy, I have found some information and unfortunately it is in French. Would you be willing to help decipher what I have found?

If this can help:? I have seen that there are 2 books at the "Geneanet shop" which give the list of the people who died on the guillotine but I don't know what you can find in them as I havn't them myself. When you are in the shop you have to select "History & Traditions" then "French revolution". I hope someone has a better answer to give you and I wish you good luck for your researches.

The free website listing most if not all the victims of the guillotine is located at: http://les.guillotines.free.fr/ Even if you don't speak French, the site is very easy to search alphabetically. For Sharon: there is no 'Filliaux' listed, but there is a 'Filoux, Simon' that you might want to investigate. Karen Gauny Crisalli South Carolina, USA
