Hello List Members: I tried my darndest to purchase one of John Peters Flanders Books, but the two remaining copies advertised were both gone by the time I sent my order in for them.:( At least I was notified they were sold..that was nice or I would have been waiting.. If anyone has a copy of this book and can let me know if the name Enjart or ENYEART, ENYAERT, ENYART, ENYARD, ENGARD, ENGART, INIART, INNIART, UNGAAARD, ENJARDT, etc. are listed, ENYEARTS go back to a birth date of around 1624 from Flanders and supposedly fled, being some connection to Louis XIV. CAREL ENJARDT was listed as p[assenger on the DUTCH SHIP CONCORD, also known as the DeENDRACHT, which arrived from Flanders to the New Netherlands in 1664. He arrived with 34 other passengers, his wife, not named, a son, Yellis, 12, a younger son, 8 (unnamed)and a daughter, 4.(unnamed) I'd love to know in what context or to obtain a copy. If anyone wants to sell their copy, I'd be interested in purchasing it! Please let me know @ Wyndstrm@aol.com. Thank you! Sincerely, Chris Ottoson

On 5 July, David Bodine <Dave@MediterraneanAccents.com> asked -- < If anyone has access to the Livre des Tésmoignages of the Threadneedle Street Church, I'd appreciate a lookup on the two references to Jean Bodin. Maybe this is all there is, but there could be more.> Dave, sorry to disappoint you but the listing I included in my 26 June post re: Jean BODIN is all the info there was in the Tésmoignages records, ie. it was a complete extract of all the info about him and also about all the other surnames I mentioned. Because surnames are listed alphabetically in this source, it is easy to determine how many times a particular individual is mentioned there. The Tésmoignages do not include a lot of detail about individuals. Usually just their name, who provided the témoignage on their behalf (either another congregation, a family member or another individual) and the date. Sometimes, as in the case of children (usually teenagers), there will be their age and where they were born. Or, in the case of a woman, her husband's name is generally included. Sometimes whole family groups are clearly mentioned but only occasionally. I think your strategy of looking in other Threadneedle records is a good one although, even then, if you find two Jean BODINs, you may have difficulty sorting out which is which. Remember, when these records were written, the people writing them knew which was which so they didn't always supply distinguishing details. There wasn't any reason for them to do so. They had no idea that this would cause frustration to their ancestors hundreds of years in the future. For listing of Threadneedle Street records other than the tésmoignages, please see the post yesterday (11 July) on Threadneedle Street Church (subject line: Huguenot Churches of London, Part 5). Hope this info helps. Andrea

Hi everyone -- here is Part 5 of the series on Huguenot churches in London. This time, the principal church there, ie. the one on Threadneedle Street. Thanks again to fellow lister Nona for sharing the info posted in this series. "L'Eglise de Threadneedle Street" In July 1550, the English King Edward VI licenced foreign Protestant refugees to hold their own servies. In October of the same year, French and Dutch Protestant refugees took the lease of the chapel of St. Anthony's Hospital in Threadneedle Street. However, the Dutch soon left and this became the first French Huguenot chapel in London. The original building was destroyed in the Great Fire (September 1666), but was then rebuilt and used until 1840. Surviving registers date from 1600 to 1840 and, according to Charles E. Lart in his two-volume book, "Huguenot Pedigrees", they contain thirty thousand entries of births and marriages In 1843, a new Huguenot church opened in St. Martin's Le Grand but this was demolished in 1887 to make way for extensions to the adjacent General Post Office. In 1891-93, the present French Protestant Church was built in Soho Square -- a direct descendent from the earliest chapel in Threadneedle Street and the fourth to be called the "Threadneedle Street Church". It was designed by Sir Aston Webb and opened in 1893. Threadneedle Street itself took its name either from the three needles appearing on the arms of the Needlemakers' Company or the thread and needle on the arms of the Merchant Taylors' Company, both organizations located in the area. Today, it is where the Bank of England is situated -- sometimes referred to as "The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street". There are quite a few records for the Threadneedle Street Church (all in the Quarto series of Hug. Soc. of Ldn. publications or filmed by LDS). They are -- 1) Volume 9, Registers of the French Church of Threadneedle Street, London, Part 1 (marriages & baptisms 1600-1639), or on LDS film # 962135 2) Volume 13, Registers of the French Church of Threadneedle Street, Part 2 (marriages 1636/7-1645, banns & marriages 1631-1674, baptisms 1674-1685), or on LDS film # 962136. 3) Volume 16, Registers of the French Church of Threadneedle Street, Part 3 (banns & marriages 1685-1694, baptisms 1686-1714), or on LDS film # 962136. 4) Volume 21, Le Livre des Tésmoignages de l'Eglise de Threadneedle Street, 1669-1789, or on LDS film # 0962137. 5) Volume 23, Registers of the French Church of Threadneedle Street, Part 4 (marriages 1707-1752, baptisms 1715-1840), or on LDS film # 962139. 6) Volume 38, Actes de Consistoire de l'Eglise Française de Threadneedle Street, London, Vol. 1 1560-1565, also on LDS film # 962139. 7) Volume 48, Actes de Consistoire de l'Eglise Française de Threadneedle Street, London, Vol. 2, 1571-1577. Could find no listing of either this volume being in Salt Lake Library or of having been filmed by LDS. 8) Volume 49, French Protestant Refugees Relieved through the Threadneedle Street Church, London 1681-1687 by A. P. Hands and Irene Scouloudi, pub. 1971, 234 pgs. Call Numbers 942.1/L1 B4h FHL British section (Salt Lake). Has not been filmed. Also, I think the following all refer to Threadneedle Street because it was the main Huguenot Church in London -- 9) Volume 50, Archives of the French Protestant Church of London: a handlist, by Raymond Smith, pub. 1972, 104 pgs. Call Numbers 942.1/L1 B4h FHL British section (Salt Lake). Has not been filmed. 10) Volume 54, Calendar and Letter Books of the French Church of London from the Civil War to the Restoration,1643-59 by Robin D. Gwynn, pub.1979,139 pgs. Call Numbers 942.1/L1 B4h FHL British section (Salt Lake). Has not been filmed. 11) Volume 58, Minutes of the consistory of the French Church of London,1679-1692. Could find no listing of either this volume being in Salt Lake Library or of having been filmed by LDS. That's the end for this time. Any additional info to the above would be appreciated. Andrea

I'm new to this list and would like to ask you all what research book would be best to purchase. My ancestors supposed came from Wales and had been/were Huguenots. They spelled their name S-E-N-E-Y. I have not made the leap from America to Great Britain yet but they could have migrated any time between 1680 and 1720 to Eastern Shore Maryland or Delaware. I have found a lot of Seneys in Stratfordshire (Walsall) but also have references to the Threadneedle Church in London. On Amazon.Com I found a book called "The Huguenots in England: Immigration and Settlement, C. 1550-1700". Since it is a $70 book I would really like to know if it will be useful. Does anyone have this book ? Another was called "Huguenot Lineage Research; A Bibliography Based On Migrations Routes". I'm open to suggestions on any books that would be useful. Dave Seaney "Trying to solve the mystery of my history every day" Seaney-Seney-Seeney family research http://members.aol.com/DL7715/index.html

If any of the group has a copy - I would appreciate to know if family TOUCHARD appears. I will get a copy then. In LDS TOUCHARD shows in London (my branch), Germany, Spain and many in the USA. Of all the TOUCHARDS in France, majority seems to be in Sarthe, Le Mans and Paris. There is confusion with my grandmother's maiden name right now (I was always told it was DEVIN(E), but she had a sister whose last name turns out to be FORSBREY.) My dad passed away in 1971 (He was born in Shoreditch 1913). There is only one TOUCHARD relative alive now and my mom is now 80 and neither recall much about my dad's family. His birth certificate was among other family papers destroyed in WWII blitz in London. So its slow going - my mom still lives in UK and is contacting various Societies by snail mail. I am hung up right now because I cannot make a GEDCOM without a few more "maiden" names.... ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

My thanks to David, Marion and Andrea for the information about the above. I now have definite leads to follow and I am most grateful. Michael Dorey.

On 7 July, Michael Dorey <mikedorey@cwcom.net> posted the following -- >In 1882 one of my forebears was married at the 'Providence Chapelry of the Calvanistic Dissenters' in Brighton. Can anyone tell me more about this chapel, the religion and its followers and was there any connection to Huguenots. Any information will be gratefully received.> Michael, a Place Search on the LDS web site (www.familysearch.org) revealed that there seemed to be quite a lot of chapels of various denominations in Brighton during the 1800's. The Providence Chapel is listed there as Bible Christian, with records of indexed births and baptisms mentioned for 1824-37 which is a time period earlier than the one you are interested in but still might be worth looking at to see if your surnames are there. Other chapels in Brighton at around the same time included, for example, Baptist, Wesleyan Methodist, Presbyterian, Calvinist Methodist, and quite a few others. I could find no mention there of Huguenots but that doesn't necessarily mean there were none there -- it just means none appear to be in LDS holdings. For further information, it might be worthwhile to join the Sussex-Plus list to see if anyone there can provide more info about the Providence Chapel or direct you to other sources. To find out more about the Sussex-Plus list and how to subscribe, go to John Fuller's info about UK mailing lists (on his web site, Genealogy Resources on the Internet) at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail_country-unk.html . Hope this helps. Good luck. Andrea

Hello, list -- here is Part 4 of the series on Huguenot churches which once existed in London, ENG. This time: "Le Tabernacle", "Les Grecs", "Ryders Court Chapel"and "Spring Gardens Chapel". "Le Tabernacle" This chapel was situated in Milk Alley (now Bourchier Street). The exact date that it was established is not known but it is mentioned in the rate books of 1692. It became vacant in 1696 when it was acquired as an annex by the congregation of L'Eglise de Leicester Fields and apparently closed in 1720. The registers for this church are in Volume 29 of the Quarto series, pub. Hug. Soc. of Ldn. Included in this volume as well are the records for Glasshouse Street and Leicester Fields. Also on LDS film # 928002. "Les Grecs" This chapel had formerly been a Greek church, established in 1677 by Joseph Georginos, Archimandrite of the Isle of Samos. Its location was in Hog Lane (later Crown Street and now roughly Charing Cross Road). The Huguenots leased the building from 1681 until 1822 when the congregation moved to another chapel on Edward Street which had once been occupied by Baptists from 1782-1795. The registers for this church are in Volume 26 of the Quarto series, pub. Hug. Soc. of Ldn. Included in this volume as well are the records for Church of the Savoy and Spring Gardens. Also on LDS film # 928501. "Ryders Court Chapel" This chapel, at the northwest corner of Ryders Court, was probably opened in November 1700. The congregation was initially formed from the amalgamation of the St. Martin's Lane and the Newport Market congregations. In 1701, they entered into a pastoral union with L'Eglise de Leicester Fields. But there was never a large congregation at this chapel and, by 1734, the chapel had ceased to exist and the building had been taken over by Scottish Presbyterians. The registers for this church are in Volume 30 of the Quarto series, pub. Hug. Soc. of Ldn. Also on LDS film # 928002. "Spring Gardens Chapel" The date that this chapel was built is unknown although it can be seen in a drawing of the Horse Guards' Parade of 1685 so it must pre-date this. It was built as a Chapel of Ease for "La Savoie" on a plot of land granted by Parliament. The original building was later burnt down and then rebuilt c1700. The chapel is sometimes referred to as "La Petite Savoie" or "La Chapell du Parc". It was eventually closed in October 1755. The registers for this church are in Volume 26 of the Quarto series, pub. Hug. Soc. of Ldn. Included in this volume as well are the records for Church of the Savoy and Les Grecs. Also on LDS film # 928501. More on this topic in future posts. Please post to the list if you have any info to add to this series. Andrea

I think you will find that Huguenot services no longer held at Christ Church, Spitalfields. There were some very interesting books produced about 10 yrs ago with the results of excavations of the crypt where many Huguenot families were buried. List of families included. Sorry cannot remember name of book as read in it UK last yr. Shirley Arabin. Mount Maunganui, NEW ZEALAND "If at first I don't succeed there is always next year"

Hi, I am new to the list so hope you will bear with me until I get the hang of this thing. I am searching for information on Simon DeRuine. He came from the Netherlands 1659 on the De Trouw where he was on the passenger list as Symon Drune. He married Magdalena Lodwycke Vanderstaten. Simon was born about 1615 in France and died 1678 in New York. His daughter Maria DeRuine married Samuel DesMarets (Demarest). Any information appreciated. Patsy

Hello List In Andrea's latest posting "Languedoc" book 2 &3 I see mention of GASCOGNE which is my family name when you put in the I between the O & G ie: GASCOIGNE this is an area that there are still GASCOIGNE's living . I have had E-Mails from other GASCOIGNE researchers stating that when they have visited the area they notice a trait that the eyebrows meet in the middle. When I first contacted the #1 GASCOIGNE in Canada I had to send a photograph before she would correspond. from then she has put me in touch with other researchers. An Edward GASCOIGNE was on the 2nd voyage of the Mayflower he had been in this country and returned to England & married . GASCOIGNE,s were in Virginia from about 1635 A Benjamin GASCOIGNE was Lord mayor of London in 1756. If SKS finds any GASCOIGNES especialy Robert a musician I have him in Dublin IRE 1853-4, Folkestone KNT 1861,Dover KNT 1865, Deal KNT 1864,1867,1869 then he disappears leaving his children one of whom was my ggfather Robert Gascoigne J.Gascoigne@worldnet.att.net or robertgascoigne@hotmail.com

Hello Listers, This is my first posting. My fingers are crossed. The family story goes this way. The Crozer family who settled on Pennsbury Manor in Pennsylvania were originally from France. They were Huguenots who left France at an unknown time. They first came to Scotland, and after some years in perhaps 1712 part of them went to Ireland and settled in County Antrim. From there 5 brothers came to Philadelphia. They were Andrew, Robert, James, John, and Samuel. Some say they went to Philadelphia as early as 1723 and others think about 1740. These brothers had been educated in the Presbyterian faith. My goal is to connect this branch of the family back to Ireland, Scotland and France. Under the subject line I have listed variants of the name. I would be grateful for facts or possible alleyways! Julia

Hello, I did a search at http://www.bookradar.com/ for this book, if anyone is interested it seemed there were 3 copies available in various conditions Bookradar is an excellent place to start a search for old, new or out of print books, Bookradar searches many sources for books then shows the listings and you just click a button to order what you find, which shows conditions of each copy listed, Just a FYI, I do not work for Bookradar, but have found it to be an invaluable source for books, Marty Graybill > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrea Vogel [mailto:andreav@island.net] > Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2000 3:22 PM > To: HUGUENOTS-WALLOONS-EUROPE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [HWE] John Peters book: A Family from Flanders > > > To all on the list -- > Just some follow-up comments to the post by Hugh < HDELMAR@aol.com > > earlier today (6 July) with the review of John Peter's book, A Family from > Flanders.

To all on the list -- Just some follow-up comments to the post by Hugh < HDELMAR@aol.com > earlier today (6 July) with the review of John Peter's book, A Family from Flanders. Posts like this from listers are very much appreciated, by the way. And I agree with the review -- the book is a "gem", very easy to read but highly informative, and it's interesting to follow John Peters' genealogical detective work. I just wanted everyone to know that further information about this book can be found in our list archives. There are ten posts in all which mention it. The ones which might interest listers the most are several -- posted in mid-January -- which contain Peters' entire alphabetical index of Northern French and Walloon Surnames. I posted this information after I had phoned Mr. Peters' widow in England and obtained her permission to do so. I was concerned about copyright. But Mrs. Peters willingly gave her consent because she felt that her husband would have wanted his work to be shared. She also told me that the book is now out of print but a couple of listers did post in January with info on how to obtain copies. To access these posts in the archives, you can either go to the threaded archives for January (there weren't any glitches happening there at the time!) at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/Huguenots-Walloons-Europe-L or go to the Searchable archives at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl , first typing in the name of the list and then the key words: John Peters.

Elizabeth FREMOULT, born c1710-15, was my 6x great grandmother. I haven't connected her to any parents as yet but I think I'm getting closer. Bye for now. Andrea
