Posting a look-up to list Lesley Jones ------------------------------------------------------------------- CASTOL: typed as printed on fiche of book. Book details: Protestant Exiles from France in the Reign of Louis XlV. or The Huguenot Refugees and their Descendants in Great Britain and Ireland by The Rev. David C. A. Agnew. Printed in London by Reeves and Turner, in Edinburgh by William Paterson, 1874. The book is mostly to do with religion, members of the nobility and others with influence at court and has copious Latin quotes. Page 111/112: Pasteur Jean Castol, of the City of London French Church, was a zealous minister and an influential man at court. In 1583 the learned Scottish Divine, Andrew Melville, had recourse to him to contradict false reports and insinuations regarding the Presbyterians; Melvilles letter to Castol is still preserved; Dr. MCrie informs us that it is is the Cotton MSS, Calig. C. IX, 59. Strype frequently mentions Castol, and calls him a discreet and learned man, - a knowing person who had considerable intelligence from abroad, and especially from France. I have already given the substance of his letter to the Lord Treasurer in 1591, representing that the more wealthy members of his congregation had gone to the army of Henri IV, at their own expense, and that the poorer men, if able-bodied, had been provided with the means of joining that royal army; thus he demonstrated that no contribution could be sent for the equipment of the English auxiliary forces destined to fight under the same standard. The letter, so piously and judiciously expresses, is printed at full length in the original Latin in Strypes Life of Whitgift, Book IV, Appendix No. XIII. It concludes thu s (regret if any Latin word typed wrongly!): Ista sunt, amplissime Domine, quae mihi de nostro coetu himmis (?blurred), et magno cum dolore meo, comperta sunt, et de quibis Dignitatem tuam ad vitandum omnem offensionem certiorem factum velim. Ut finem dicendi faciam magni beneficii loco repono quod tantum et tam presentem monitorem habemus qui nos ad Christianae charitatus obsequium provocare dignetur; sed quoniam summa est tenuitas, et opes non suppetunt, aequitatem ac moderationem tuam e nostro nomine omnem sordium et tenacitatis labem abstersuram spero. Vale, benedictionum genere locupletet. Datum, Londini, 19 December, 1591. Amplitudini et Dignitati tuae addictissimus Joannes Castollus There are further mentions of this priests letters and their contents on pages 112/113, but regret havent the time to type all of this! Other letters said to be printed in the appendix of Strype book above. One is about news from abroad, with Henri IV called Gallus, and Philip of Spain called Hispanus. Only personal detail on these pages include: From Mr Burns lists it appears that Monsieur Castol was inducted to the City of London Church in 1582.
I am researchng the name FUGARD from Ireland, Co. Armagh & Down before 1870. My grandfather was born in Armagh and changed the name to FEUGARDE in the US in 1890. I was told as a child the name is French Huguenot, meaning fire guard.
Hello to all -- Just wanted everyone to know that, because I consider it such an important topic, I have included LeRoy Eastes' message regarding genealogical research standards on our website. It's in the Beyond the Basics section under title Standards of Genealogical Research. This information was originally posted on the list a couple of days ago under subject line: Verifying Accuracy of Research. The URL for the list website is http://www.island.net/~andreav/index.html. And you may be interested to know that our website is now included on Cyndi's List (www.cyndislist.org) alongside info about our mailing list. It's in the section headed Huguenots. Please have a look there if you haven't already. I am currently working on the Other Links and Sites section of our website (that's in Beyond the Basics). Has anyone got any good general information links for Belgium or Germany that I can include? They don't have to be about Huguenot/Walloon research but it would be a bonus if they were. Please post to the list if you can help here. Thanks. Andrea
Response to Chris Shelley s notice regarding the Le Harvre area. My Huguenot links mostly hail from Beuzeville and its surroundings. The names in the tree are BARBET, BEUZEVILLE, LEVESQUE, JACOB, GUILLEMAND. BARBET being the most recent. I have Judith HEUZE marrying Pierre GUILLEMAND approx 1692 ( his second marriage )One of their daughters, Marianne maried Jaques Beuzeville and they became silk weavers in Spitalfields, London. I don,t know a lot about the HEUZE line but I know a man who does ( know more than me anyway) If anyone is interested I can pass on more detailed info. Anything anyone else can offer would be welcome of course. I am still trying to find the French origin of Jean Jaques BARBET. BARBET first appears in London in 1630 ( Ann BARBEY is baptised at the church in Threadneedle Street) but I haven,t managed to get to the French roots. These are general points that may link with others out there. Sylvia M

Hello -- I'd like to thank those listers who have been posting or re-posting their surname interests over the last week. The New Year is the perfect time to do this, don't you think? So, if you've posted in the past but not recently, please think about doing so again. For one thing, we have many new subscribers who didn't see your post the first time round. And if you are one of those who haven't yet sent your first post to the list, I hope you'll do so soon. Also, would everyone please check their surname listings on the H-W-E Surnames List on the list website at http://www.island.net/~andreav/index.html -- it's in the Beyond the Basics section. If anything there is inaccurate or incomplete, please post to the list to let me know. Lastly, if you haven't got any of your surnames included on the Surnames List but would like them added, now's the time to do it (on the list please and in format shown on H-W-E Surnames List). Lastly, just to make sure I practice what I preach <g>, here are my own surname interests. 1) OLIVE -- starting with my maternal grandfather, I have traced this line back to my 8x great grandparents, Jacques OLIVE and his wife Marie VERRE. Jacques was born c1645, possibly in France; mother's name possibly Jeanne DE BUIRE. Marie VERRE was born c1650; father's name possibly Samuel, mother's name possibly Jane. Jacques & Marie had eight children baptised at the Walloon Church in Canterbury between 1672-1690. Descent from this line gets a little fuzzy due to two grandsons of Jacques' and Marie's. Both were also named Jacques; both were born within a few years of each other -- a) Jacques, son of Jacques and Marie (nee Federbe) was baptised at the Canterbury Walloon church in April 1714 and b) Jacques baptised Apr 1711, also at the Walloon Church, son of Jean (John) and Sarah (nee BLANCHARD). So which Jacques (James) was it who married Catherine POUT (POUTRE or LE POUTRE) 13 Aug 1738 at Canterbury St. George? There are some OLIVE researchers who favour the Jacques born in 1711 whereas I lean towards the one born 1714. In either case, my descent is still from Jacques OLIVE and Marie VERRE. Branches of this OLIVE family are to be found in the records of Guisnes, FRA and also in London, including Threadneedle Street. My own branch settled in the coastal Kentish towns of Seasalter and Whitstable in the mid-1700's where they were oyster dredgers and/or mariners (and probably smugglers!) for generations. 2) FREMOULT -- anglicized spelling of FREMAULT, FREMAU, FREMAU(L)X, which is listed in the Index of Northern French and Walloon Names in John Peters' book, A Family from Flanders. I am specifically searching for my 6x great grandmother, Elizabeth FREMOULT who married Elias EDENDEN 14 Jne 1736 in Seasalter, Kent, ENG. I have found two Elizabeths baptised around the right time period but have not determined which is the "right one". One was baptised 6 Jan 1706/7 at Canterbury St. Mildred, dau of John & Jane (nee KISSER) who were married 1704 St. Mildred. The other was baptised 27 Jly 1715 at Canterbury All Saints, dau of Samuel & Elizabeth who had nine children baptised in Canterbury -- between1709-1718 at All Saints and 1719-20 at St. Mildred. 3) BLANCHET -- the Huguenot connection for this one is "only a hunch" and concerns my 8x great grandfather Vincent BLANCHET, born c1665. I have found BLANCHET names in Huguenot records but no trace of Vincent. He first pops up with his marriage on 14 Mar 1689/90 to Mary STONE at Godmersham, Kent, ENG. Nine children baptised in nearby Challock (which was Mary's home parish), between1691-1710. Both Vincent and Mary died at Challock and are buried there (1740's). The BLANCHET name gradually changed to BRANCHET(T) in the mid/late 1700's. All BRANCHETTs today, in England and elsewhere (U.S, Australia), are descended from Vincent BLANCHET. I think I'm finally starting to come out of my own doldrums.....<g>. Andrea
Re-posting my Huguenot Surnames. Eude (Sometimes Heude) family came to London from Normandy (near Coutances) about 1685. They were Silk weavers and lived in the Spitalfields area of East London. I have a lot of detail gleaned from IGI / Parish Records and some research done by a man called Hood about 30 years ago. (The name Eude or Heude sometimes changed to Hood in everyday English parlance) BUT I have not found many other people following this line - hence re-posting in the hope there's someone out there with some missing links!

Happy to oblige, Andrea. Herewith de la FORCE quotes that I sent off-list, plus another snippet from the same book on fiche. Did my best copying the Latin bit. Hope it is of help to other listers interested in the name. Lesley Jones ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The book on fiche: Protestant Exiles from France in the Reign of Louis XlV. or The Huguenot Refugees and their Descendants in Great Britain and Ireland by The Rev. David C. A. Agnew. Printed in London by Reeves and Turner, in Edinburgh by William Paterson, 1874. Page 188: The Caumont and Layard Group of Families The Ducs Caumont de la Force were descended from Francois de Caumont, Seigneur de Castlenauth, who was killed in the St. Bartholomew Massacre. His son was the first duke, and the family was true to the Protestantism until the persecution of 1685, when the fourth duke apostatized. The only refugee at the Revocation period was his wife, the Duchesse de la Force, nee Susanne Beringhen, the mother of the fifth and sixth dukes. She died in London in 1731. Notes The Beringhen family were warmly admired for their constancy under persecution. The father (who was an Elder of Charenton), the mother, sons, married daughters, and daughters marriageable, all were severely tried. Members of the La Force family had settled in England at earlier dates. In Chelsea (Faulkners Chelsea Vol. 1, page 210), there is the following epitaph in Latin:- D. O. M. S. Elizabethae equitas Theodori de Mayerne Baronis Albonae filiae Marchionis de Cugnac patre Henrico de Caumont, Marchionis de Castel Nauth et avo Jacobo Nomper de Caumont, Duce de la Force (primo Franciae Marescalo, rigiorum exertuum longum imperatore fortissimo fortunaissimo invictissimo), nati, Uxori dulcissimae lectissimae charissmae XVI post nuptias mense acerbo ereptae fato.

Theodore took a degree of Doctor of Physic at Montpellier, and rose to be a Councillor of Physic to the King of France. He came to England and was incorporated as MD of Oxford, 8 April 1606. He was chief physician to King James and afterwards to Charles 1st. He was sent on a diplomatic mission to France in 1618, but ordered to leave by the French government. On 14 July 1624, he was knighted. Sir Theodore was an author on medical subjects and worshipped in the Presbyterian Church of Kensington. His mother lived in England and was buried in the chancel of St Martins in the Fields, where also five of his children were buried, and he himself buried 30 March 1655. He was twice married, and his second wife, Isabella, survived as his widow. Two daughters were married to cadets of the ducal house of Caumont de la Force. Elizabeth, Marquise de Cugnac, died in her fathers lifetime. Adrienne, Baroness DAubon, became wife of her sisters husbands brother, Armand de Caumont, Marquis de Mompouillan. The marriage proclamation is dated 10 January 1656/7 (register of St Pauls, Covent Garden), but the marriage, as registered at Chelsea, bears the singularly remote date of 21 July 1659.
Accidentally deleted the email address of person recently in contact about a look-up for de la FORCE name. Have found a bit more information. Please contact me again. Lesley Jones
Hi. I've run in to a brick wall on two of the names I'm researching, namely GURR and BLOWN. I'm posting here in the hope that someone has come across these names (or some variation of them) in Huguenot sources, as they are both conceivably of French or German origin. The last details I have are: Henry BLOWN born c. 1778 died 1839 (buried in Walmer, KEN, ENG) Thomas GURR born c. 1715 Offsprings' baptisms in PRs at Chatham, KEN, ENG Any leads, or just general thoughts, please respond! -- David Gurr Researching: GURR in Chatham (KEN) Hemel Hempstead in Lamberhurst (SSX) Herts, UK and in Leicester BLOWN in Deal (KEN) TAYLOR in Car Colston (NOT) LAKE in Holme (NFK) CHERRY in Stepney (LON) LESTER in Strood (KEN) GURR Family History at http://www.ocston.org/~davidgu

Hi everyone -- Regarding Lesley's message earlier today (3 Jan) about doing a look-up for another subscriber (which I gather was being done off-list), may I respectfully suggest that such look-ups -- if at all possible and, of course, appropriate -- be done *on the list*? I mentioned this point a few days ago in my List Members' Reference Materials post. I think we all benefit if sharing is done on the list. Hope others agree. In particular, the surname mentioned by Lesley got my attention -- ie. DE LA FORCE -- I know we have a couple of listers interested in this name and there is also a DE LA FORCE website included on our own list website (it's in the Beyond the Basics section under Personal Websites). That's it for now. Andrea (momentarily in list concierge role)
A Millennium Reposting: I am looking for information on the ancestry of ANDRE JOLIN (also spelled JOULIN and JOULAIN, eventually became JOLINE) of St. Palais, France, who married MADELAINE POUPIN and emigrated from St. Palais (near La Rochelle) to New Amsterdam in 1686. They may have lived in Bristol, England for a period before heading to the New World. He eventually settled in Elizabeth, NJ. ANDRE died ante 1742. Their attested children (all born in New Amsterdam) are JEAN (known as Capt. JEAN and sometimes as Capt. JOHN), b. 3 March 1693/4; ANNE MADELAINE, b. 10 March 1696; DAVID, b. 12 Feb. 1698/9; and JEANNE, b. 1701. There is also sometimes claimed to be another son, ANDREW, born before 1686, but this seems to be a confusion with the original ANDRE going by ANDREW in NJ. There may have been a second marriage to MARY TROTTER (b. 22 Jan. 1654, Newbury, Mass.) and a child of the second family (MARIE, who married JOHN BLANCHARD). I do not know the evidence for the second marriage, although MARIE is mentioned in ANDRE'S will. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Betty for your letter about fraudulent lineages. I can only say it reinforces the dictum that you do not accept other people's research without yourself retracing their steps and verifying their sources. Unless you do you will always be at risk of being taken for a ride.

Listers -- I'd like to echo Kaye's thanks and comments re: Betty's very valuable post about Fraudulent Lineages yesterday (1 Jan). This is a topic which has come up on the list several times in the past -- ie. verify, verify, verify! your data -- mostly under the subject line: Primary vs. secondary sources. Probably because I am continually posting extracts of records on the list (which are often from copies or transcripts themselves), I have become very aware of this issue over the last year or so. A genealogist's standard of research should be, first and foremost, to obtain data from primary sources for authenticity (if at all possible). By primary sources, I mean original records. Anything else is a secondary source which should be checked against primary sources. By secondary sources I mean any of the following:-- copies or transcripts of originals, extracts from originals, indexes (such as the IGI), any material sent to you by someone else, anything you read in a book, on a mailing list, on a web site or elsewhere on the internet, etc. I am not saying info in these sources is always wrong but it could be. Researchers need to authenticate the truth of the info by verifying it themselves in primary (ie. original) sources. By coincidence, there is an excellent discussion of genealogical research standards currently circulating on various other mailing lists via an article originally written a year ago by LeRoy Eastes of the National Genealogical Society (of the U.S.). I am including it below in its entirety, with permission of the author. I hope others will find it enlightening and useful. Andrea Here is what Mr. Eastes has to say: In December 1999, I wrote the following article to help increase the awareness of the many pitfalls found in genealogical resources. I am submitting this again to remind us all of our responsibilities toward perpetuating the truth and accuracy in our historical records. (Reprint) HOW ACCURATE ARE OUR RECORDS? By LeRoy F. Eastes 3 December 1999 When we record our heritage we take great pride in looking at our list of ancestors and admire their origins, migrations and accomplishments. But, what good is it - unless it's true? In recent years there are more and more genealogical assumptions and misleading information being circulated due the coming of the internet. I know most of it is unintentional, as I have found myself guilty of doing the same thing in the past. This innocent practice comes about by picking up information that is not documented or if it is we don't check the validity of the references. Then with all good intentions, we record it and pass it on not knowing if it is true or not! An element of error has always existed in genealogical research. If we look closely at public documents, errors have been found in almost every type of legal record that ever existed. Wills, marriage, birth, land, court and military records. Many times these are the results of human error but some have been intentionally induced for a variety of personal reasons. The coming of the internet has been a great boon for genealogical research. At the same time it's multiplying errors and is out of control like a contagious disease. There are many individuals and organizations that collect files from donors everywhere they can be found, which in itself is fine. Unfortunately, not all of these records are correct. Many do not show any documentation, others are found with misleading and often inaccurate information and references. Also unfortunately, some researchers are too eager to grab the first thing that "sounds reasonable" and treat it as a gospel fact. These records are copied by the unwary, passed on to an untold number of others, accepted as fact and the problem is perpetuated into the future. . There is nothing wrong with recording and passing along estimates of dates, places and even theories and stories. This is where we find the key elements that lead to the true picture of the past. However, information of this nature must be recognized and treated as such by all of us. This is a very serious problem and recognized by the National Genealogical Society. They felt it to so important they published a Special Edition to their quarterly publication, titled, "Evidence" - Volume 87, 3 September 1999. The following are the Standards recommend by the Society and can be found on the internet at - http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ (I suggest everyone take a look at Consumer Relations while on this site) Standards For Sound Genealogical Research (Recommended by the National Genealogical Society) Remembering always that they are engaged in a quest for truth, family history researchers consistently - - record the source for each item of information they collect. - test every hypothesis or theory against credible evidence, and reject those that are not supported by the evidence. - seek original records, or reproduced images of them when there is reasonable assurance they have not been altered, as the basis for their research conclusions. - use compilations, communications and published works, whether paper or electronic, primarily for their value as guides to locating the original records. - state something as a fact only when it is supported by convincing evidence, and identify the evidence when communicating the fact to others. - limit with words like "probable" or "possible" any statement that is based on less than convincing evidence, and state the reasons for concluding that it is probable or possible. - avoid misleading other researchers by either intentionally or carelessly distributing or publishing inaccurate information. - state carefully and honestly the results of their own research, and acknowledge all use of others work. - recognize the collegial nature of genealogical research by making their work available to others through publication, or by placing copies in appropriate libraries or repositories, and by welcoming critical comment - consider with open minds new evidence or the comments of others on their work and the conclusions they have reached. ©1997 by National Genealogical Society. Permission is granted to copy or publish this material provided it is reproduced in its entirety, including this notice This is followed by two more sections titled: - Standards for Using Records Repositories And Libraries. - Standards For Use Of Technology In Genealogical Research. I encourage everyone to consider these guide lines. All of us who are searching for our ancestors should make an attempt to minimize the possibility of errors. If we don't, our children's children will be led down false trails and they will never be able to find their true heritage. Le Roy F.

Ich suche Hinweise und Materialien zu den französischen Hugenotten, die 1691 über Hessen aus der Pfalz kamen und in der Uckermark siedelten. Insbesondere den Artikel von Wilhelm BEULEKE, Ursprungsheimat, Zwischenaufhalte und Verbleib der Hugenottenfamilie FOUQUET, in Archiv für Sippenforschung, H. 59, 1975. Meine Urgroßmutter war eine geborene Fouquet aus Strasburg, Uckermark. Außerdem untersuche ich die Familien: de la BARRE, de la CROIX, de FRENE, DESMARETS, FIERET (FIERÈ), LEDOUX, MAILLEFERT (Prenzlau), NEUVEGLISE, SALOMÈ, SY und YOLIN alle um 1690-1700 in Strasburg, Uckermark. Ina Friling I'm seeking for information and material about the french huguenots who came 1691 from Palatinate (Pfalz) over Hessen into the Uckermark. Especially the article of von Wilhelm BEULEKE, Ursprungsheimat, Zwischenaufhalte und Verbleib der Hugenottenfamilie FOUQUET, in Archiv für Sippenforschung, H. 59, 1975.

Fellow listers -- First, my best wishes to you all for 2001. I hope it is not only a contented and prosperous year for you but also a fruitful one in terms of your research. Second, I must tell you that, in the last few days, we have finally achieved the 300 mark in terms of number of subscribers. We had been hovering around 275 members for quite a long time but new subscribers had been joining us, a few at a time, over the last couple of months until, just as the New Year arrived, here we are 300 strong!! Nice to have everyone here! I hope our numbers continue to grow over the next year and beyond. Third -- and again -- my apologies for slowness in responding to messages. I appear to have finished off the year 2000 in very low gear, if not at a complete standstill <g>. I've just been enjoying not doing much of anything for a few days, after non-stop activity for most of December. Finally -- but most importantly -- I'd like to respond to Jan's post of a few days ago (30 Dec), suggesting that we put together a list of all resource materials held by subscribers so information in these sources can more easily shared among our group. Jan, thank you for bringing up this topic -- I think it's a great project to begin the New Millennium! And responses from other listers (Kaye, Lesley, Roy) seem to indicate that others agree. Some of you might recall that such a pooling of resources was also proposed by Roy over two months ago (21 Oct) so when I designed the website format, I kept this idea in mind and made provision for it. It's in the Beyond the Basics section under the heading Subscribers' Resources & Look-ups -- yes, it's one of those links that's not-yet functioning so this is a perfect time to start working on it! I am willing to put together a central list of all resources held by subscribers who are willing to look up selected names for others. I thought that this could be posted on the website (under the Subscribers' Resources & Look-ups heading) and, as also mentioned by Roy, posted regularly on the list (say once a month) as a reminder that these resources are available. My difficulty comes in figuring out the actual mechanics of sharing this information. For one thing, I think Roy is correct when he says that requesting/sharing the info is best done on the list. The more we share on the list, the more we all learn and the more is archived for future reference by ourselves and by others. I am also concerned that others not become burdened by requests, particularly those of a "blanket" nature. In other words, requests for info should be specific and should be made after some personal research has already been done. Please, everyone, let's hear your ideas on this topic. How should we organize this idea? How to set it up so it benefits all and doesn't become cumbersome/burdensome? I hope you will post your comments so we can come to some consensus on this. Also, if you have resources which you would be willing to share in this way, please post them to the list. Kaye, Roy, Lesley and Jan have already mentioned what they have. What about others? I will put everything together into one listing and post it when it is complete so we can all have a look at it. Hope I've expressed my thoughts clearly here. My brain is a bit fuzzy after too much holidaying <g>. Hope you'll bear with me. Andrea

Since I posted my surnames some time ago, I have moved and changed my E-mail address. I wish to repost them with my present address: JORDEL, Peter Martin, 1685 Prussia/Skoki, Poland. Name changed to JOERDEL/GOERDEL in 1700's.. NITOR, franz, late 1600's, Prussia/Skoki, Poland. PISTER, late 1600's, Prussia/Skoki, Poland. PETEBRUDEST/PETEBREUDESS, Maria, late 1600's, Prussia/Skoki, Poland. Thank you, Cal Goerdel
A happy New Year to all - did you see the fireworks from Sydney? A maternal surname, BULLION/De BULLIONS/BULLIONS has been traced back to PERTH, PERTHSHIRE, SCOTLAND, with a recorded marriage of WILLIAM BULLIONS to JANET HOWIE in 1755 at ST. MARTINS Church PERTHSHIRE. It is difficult to find the ancestor as several families of BULLIONS existed in PERTH prior to this event. Family folklore has it that original De BULLION came from FRANCE/BELGIUM/NETHERLANDS as Hugenot. There is a village of 'BULLION' (spelling?) in northern FRANCE, near BELGIUM. I seek assitance in 1. Establishing if there is a HUGENOT connection and 2. the ancestor of WILLIAM BULLIONS. Eric Leggett
