Hello, everyone -- I have just a spare moment to send the remainder of the surname extracts from All Saints, Canterbury. These include dates 1771-1812. Notice that "French sounding" names are much less frequent during this time period than for earlier dates in the same parish. Obviously, people have moved on to other areas or possibly some names have been anglicized or disappeared altogether. I send my best wishes to all of you, no matter what holiday you are celebrating at this time of solstice as our Earth continues its journey around the sun. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to be the concierge of this list over the last year. My thanks to everyone because, of course, I couldn't have done it without you. Happy New Millenium! Peace on Earth and within our own hearts.

Hi everyone and happy holidays, I'm wondering if anyone can suggest effective ways to research any Huguenot ancestors of the Fay surname. We pretty much have the source traced to a probably large family with probably many branches that seem to be centered in Rochelle France or that general area. They are traced between about 1000AD to 1300 in France and England, by O'Hart. Prior to 1500 we can roughly trace them to Hampshire England and Meath Ireland. The Meath family remained in that area and descendants of that line exist today. The line of Hampshire England however lost their grant and returned to Normandy. I have received correspondence saying that the present day Hampshire England Fay's trace to a Huguenot refuge who came from Rochelle and settled in Hampshire by shear coincidence. He is said to have a brother that went to New England also as a refuge also in the mid 1600's. We also know that there are a total of at least five Fays in the 1600's that settled in the American colonies. In addition, there are numerous other lines that trace to the early days of Canada, some to Germany, one reported in Wales, one in Scotland, and one near Hungary. I am thinking that possibly many of these lines trace to the protestant exodus from France. There is one other family of Fay's in France reported by O'Hart and that is of the Tour de Maubourg line, which is titled nobility. If I understand things correctly, they would pretty much have to be Catholic to keep their title, and therefore would not be recorded as refugees or Huguenot. Does anyone have any ideas on how we could get a better handle on this? Just as a side note, we have our own active surname mail list, and have subscribers in France, England, Canada, the US and elsewhere that are interested in this issue and might be willing to research in the various areas to learn more.

Hi Marie, Whilst I can find no trace, in France, of the names de Vlieger or Van Laeys there is plenty of evidence concerning the name Frenoy. Both of the documents quoted below are in the Bibliotheque Genealogique in Paris. 1. Dossier concernant les famillies de Fresnoy (en Picardie) et Petit Dufrenoy (Paris). This is by Paul Petit Dufrenoy and contains correspondence and photographs of various documents and includes the name de Frenoy covering the 13th to 19th centuries. There are also Du Fresnoy and Dufrenoy listed which have Belgium connections. 2. Ascendance d'Achille-Joseph Frénol by Yves Beauville and was first published in 1991 in the Norde-Genealogie magazine. This again gives information regarding a Frenoy from Wambrechies, department 59. Both of the above relate to areas located close to the Belgium border. I hope this may provide you with possible avenues of investigation. Roy

Hello, Listers -- Another installment of surname extracts from the BT's (Bishop's Transcripts) of All Saints, Canterbury, this time for dates 1731-1770. These records are available on LDS # 1736584. There are names included here which we have seen in other Canterbury parishes in previous posts. By posting these surnames, I do not want to give the impression that they definitely have Huguenot/Walloon connections. However, I think the possibility is there. Please verify all info found here by your own personal research. There may also be additional names in this record which I have not extracted but which would be of interest to you. It is also a good idea to check the Parish Registers (PR's) because the BT's are a copy made from that source.

Merry Christmas to all. My firsdt use on this site. I am researching my maternal line of Bullions. We can trace back to c. 1700 with about 3 families in perth Scotland but at this stage have not been able to link to a specific family. It is understood from earlier generations that the family came from France/Belgium/Hetherlands to Scotland. There is a village of Bullion( spelling?) in northern France. Can any member supply info. re Bullion or its variations and the Huguenots? Eric Sunny down under.

Hi Eric, I think you will find many sources containing the name BULLION. For example the IGI lists the following- France 8 names Finland 1 name Germany 15 names America 25+ names Ancestral file 25+ entries Pedigree file 24 entries Name search in library catologue 1 entry Place search 2 entries (they both lead to the same place) Plus many British entries albeit with variations in the spelling. I also found 12 fiches in the Paris Bibliotheque Genealogique containing the name BULLION/BULYON in some ten locations. If you think it will help I will willingly send you further details. I am presently in touch with this organisation to find the best way of either searching there records at a distance or puchasing fiches. Will place they reply on this list when received - this could take some while. You can only find out by research if any of the above where Huguenots. Roy.

Our Compact Edition of The Oxford English Dictionary gives the etymology as follows: "[a. F. Huguenot word of disputed origin, according to Hatz-Darm. (who cites the form eigenots from Chron. de Genive of 1550) a popular alteration of Ger. eidgenoss (Du. eedgenoot), confederate, under the personal name of Hugues, Hugh] for whatever you can derive from that--the bottom line s that as far as the venerable OED is concerned, the origin is disputed.

Fellow listers-- You may be interested to know that Rootsweb is not the only place on the Net which offers a variety of mailing lists. For example, do you know about eGroups which has mailing lists for genealogy but also for non-genealogical topics of interest? If you would like to find out more about eGroups, please go to their website at: http://www.egroups.com. There is a search engine on this main page so you can find out if there is a mailing list for the topic or geographical area which interests you. You can also start your own list if you want to. And there is some linguistic and/or geographical choice on the site (ie. France, Germany, UK, Canada, US, etc.) And while I would never want to lure anyone away from the H-W-E list <g>, it might be of interest to those of you researching Huguenots in the Netherlands to know that eGroups has a mailing list called Huguenots-Holland, currently with 49 members. (By contrast, H-W-E has almost 300 subscribers.) The language used on the Huguenots-Holland list is Dutch and the list is described as one which concentrates on "Huguenot families who came to the Netherlands during the Huguenot wars." The description goes on to say that: "Anyone can join the list, but we want only serious subscribers with the intention to help each other in their family research and to share information." There is a list archives but it appears to be accessible only to list members. For further information about Huguenots-Holland, please go to either of these two pages: http://www.egroups.com/search?query=huguenots&submit=Search and/or http://www.egroups.com/group/Huguenots-Holland. By posting this information, I am not endorsing or recommending eGroups lists. I am merely letting you know that they are available if you want to make use of them. It's just another resource which may enlarge/enrich your research. I have no personal experience with any of the eGroups lists but have heard others express positive comments about them. Hope this has been of interest. Andrea

For example checking with the Bibliothique Genealogique CD I find the following references to the names you have listed CASTRES - 35 GLAISES - 0 GLEYSE - 5 GLEIZE - 7 LAULHE - 0 CASENAVE - 2 CASENOVE - 0 CAZENAVE - 7 an alternative spelling of CAZENEUVE was also given CAZENOVE - 9 Looking at the Huguenot Society Quarto series volume XVIII - "Letters of Denization..... 1603-1700" there are five entries under the name CAZENEUFUE/CAXENOUVE/COZENEUSVE which might be connected.

The assemblies of the Protestants of Tours took place at night in a tower haunted, it was said, by a spirit called King Hugo. This took place in the middle of the 16th century and is supposedly how the name Huguenot came to be. Does anybody have any further information? Roy.
