Hello to all and everyone else. Now I know that two of the original documents have long since vanished from the planet. One dissapperarance due to that twit Cardinal de Richelieu . Yes, he is up there with that other well know ninny de Guise. Does my bias show, I wonder ? Anywho.. I am told that there is at least one original still in existance and so where better to ask of it than right here in this most wonderful of all places HWE. My information is that there is an original in the university library in Geneve. It seems that it is not exactly as the two destroyed originals were, as it has some additions regarding just what happens to some of the towns under the control of the Huguenots. Before I go rushing off to Switzerland, I am curious to know if anyone has actually viewed this document in Geneve ? And if so, does the Librarian allow copies / photographs to be made ? Kind Regards, Peter Leroy

Hi Tony, What is "Huguenot Families"?? Is it some sort of publication to which you sell subscriptions or what?

Hi Folks Well, it's that time of year when magazine publishers try to entice us to buy those goodies that we can't possibly live without ........... And me, never being one to miss a bit of enticement, have bought the annual guide published by 'Genealogie et d'Histoire des familles' (to which I subscribe)which lists thousands of French/International web sites, lots of French CDRoms and generalist web site references, stuff from a French viewpoint. It's further divided by Departement, interest AND even better, comes with a fully interactive FREE DVD with all the contents on it PLUS links - use the DVD and you can jump from disk to site very easily. 34 Huguenot/Protestante sites listed specifically plus Departemental sites with strong Protestante archives. Not too expensive either - I have nothing to do with the production and sale of magazine, just a very satisfied customer - it's 9.90 euros to buy, same offer as before, if anybody wants a copy I'll buy and post, you cover costs. And before anybody asks, this is NOT an offer to post references or look ups, I just don't have the time to do that at the moment as I'm back to London to Hug Library for a week from Monday - I'll be off line for a few days so will pick up interest - if any - when I get back on Friday. Regards Tony Fuller Editor, Huguenot Families

Dear HWE'ers -- I gently remind you to *please* delete previously posted material from your own replies before you send them to the list. We've had quite a few subscribers sending a reply to HWE consisting of just a few words but attached at the end of those few words is an entire post -- and sometimes several posts -- previously sent to the list by someone else. Please take a few moments to make sure you do not do this. It is not necessary and, for one thing, it creates havoc when searching a list's archives. For example, I was searching a list archives recently (not HWE, another list) for a particular topic. When I typed in the keyword I wanted, I got 22 results where that keyword had occurred in list messages. I then spent a lot of time reading those results, only to find out that just *one* of those posts was an original source of info. *All* 21 other results were copies of that original post which had not been deleted from subsequent replies. I was quite irritated to have wasted my time in this way. So please be courteous of others and avoid this pitfall. It takes mere seconds to deleted extraneous material from your own post. Thanks to everyone who already deletes consistently in this manner. Regards, Andrea (as list concierge)

hello Kay I am also a member and as I have a daughter in Brisbane whom I often visit, would be interested if the Society decides to have a function in Qld. I already belong to the Queensland Women's History Association and try to get to their meetings when I can. I might contact Robert Nash and suggest that we could have an informal meeting sometime - even without a formal speaker there would be plenty of Huguenot stories and help with research for instance to sustain a gathering occasionally. let me know what you think regards Shirley ----- Original Message ----- >I belong to the Australian Huguenot Society, but living in Queensland >cannot > get to meetings.

In reply to Shirley, I don't have a gunpowder manufacturer exactly among my Huguenot ancestors in Ireland, but something close to it, I think. Have recently discovered (from Charles Dalton's book English Army Lists & Commission registers 1661-1714 (pub. 1892-1904) which I consulted in the British Library, London on a recent visit) that a Daniel COTTIN was made Major of the Ordnance in Ireland in 1697. Wikipedia told me that means he was in charge of ammunition. It so happens that some of the earliest COTTONS in Ireland lived from the 1700's on the Lissan estate of the Staples family who are renowned for mining ore there in the 1600's. I am inclined to think that Daniel may be their ancestor and therefore mine. His family name is quite well-documented in England and France as Huguenots. Daniel served in Flanders in the 1690's as an officer in the Artillery Train. Does anyone on the list have an interest in the COTTIN/ON family, especially in Ireland or Devon, England? NZ Cottons have been told by a member of the Staples family that their ancestor came to Ireland from Devon.

the Huguenot descendants seem to be like the legendary Flying Dutchman or the Wandering Jew, continually on the move from generation to generation. Our ARABINs originated in Riez, Provence and with the Revocation the refugee joined a regiment in William of Orange's army. He fought and settled in Ireland, and for those of you who read Huguenot Families and saw Vivien Costello's article on the intermarriage of army families will see his progeny joined the army as well. Then there was Henry the lawyer and gunpowder manufacturer (who else has an Irish gunpowder manufacturer?) He had 9 sons, two to the army, two to the Royal Navy, a Resident Magistrate ( remember Peter Bowles the RM in the TV series), a land agent (estate agent in those days) and two lawyers one of whom was a Lord Mayor of Dublin. Only two of these sons had issue and it was the RM who had again 9 children - 7 girls and 2 boys. All 9 emigrated to Australia. 4 daughters were spinsters living in Melbourne; 3 married - one of these had 2 daughters who were Anglican martyrs in China in 1895 who died in a massacre; another daughter only had 2 sons who died as children; the third married into another Anglo Irish family the MAYNEs and there are still people of that family in Queensland whom we plan to meet on our next trip. Of the sons only one had issue - one son born in Melbourne - who had one son born in Auckland - who had one son my husband Barry - we have one son and he has one son. The other man in Aus. returned to England and did not marry. HOWEVER, there is a large Arabin family in Australia who are descended from a General Arabin (grandson of the refugee) and I have only this year been able to make the connection. Our daughter and family now live in Australia so that generation has moved on. There are Arabin descendants in Italy, France, UK, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, NZ and goodness knows where.

Has anyone come across the CATHERINE family (tradition says from Brittany)? My family are CATTRAN from Newlyn (Paul) in Cornwall and the early records list them as CATHERINE. The earliest are Thomas CATHERINE m Margaret RICHARDS 1 Dec 1694 at Paul, buried 2 Oct 1737 at Paul. (Also a Thomas CATHERINE m Thomasine - Thomasine was buried 6 July 1709 at Paul, a widow.) There are other possible family in the immediate area, the earliest being a marriage in 1575. So far I haven't traced a baptism for Thomas CATHARINE. There is also a GRUZELIER family at Paul. Three marriages are recorded for 1726, but no baptisms before that. And a ROUFFIGNAC family who appear in Paul in 1775 , but have been traced back to a baptism in London in 1686 at Threadneedle Street. It seems that the father may have been a Minister from Rochefoucauld - but I haven't traced this myself. There are also baptisms at St Luke Old Street, Finsbury 1763. This family were navy men and a will states "his grandfather Jacob de Rouffignac, refugee for religion in Louis XIV time". Can anyone give me any links?

I see that Peter has sent in the website for the Aussie Huguenots so you can all read about them. I recently received my copy of the Huguenot Times that is edited by Robert Nash. You might all be interested in the contents. The Huguenot Dilemma: Anglicanism or Non conformity by Dr. Robin Gwynn (Robin lives in NZ) James Thomas Morisset (1780-1852) by Margaret Thompson.(Morisset arrived in NSW in 1817 with the 48th Regiment to be commandant of the Newcastle penal colony. Obituary for Cecile R Sharp who developed the Huguenot Surname Index. from the Quarto series. Australian Huguenot Families: Chamier by Anthony Chamier The society meets in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide and I hope soon in Brisbane where I visit my family. Did get to one meeting in Melbourne last year. I was at a meeting of another Society in Brisbane in October and there were four of us with Huguenot interests and I believe the A. Hug Soc has about 20 members in Queensland. Shirley

Hello All, Yes, I too have an interest in COTIN or is that COTTIN or even COTTON. Of particular interest is one Genevieve du COTIN (1460 - 1510 St. Malo, Bretagne). Obviously died a little too soon to be Huguenot as such but the surname is of interest as it would be her (my umpteenth Grandfathers) children that would have been, well except for Jacques who became a priest, Huguenot. As for COTTIN / COTTON we do have a whole tribe of them but they again were not Huguenot unless we can trace them back into Ireland / England as they didn't mayy into the tree until James COTTON arrived in Australia and married Maria EVERINGHAM. And that is way off topic for this list. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy

I belong to the Australian Huguenot Society, but living in Queensland cannot get to meetings. However, the Magazine is a good publication.

Hi David I think we have been talking HAUCHARD - family from Metz (Huguenots) I don't know if the name could be related to HANCHARD. Frech reformed Church of Manheim: HAUCHARD - LE ROY, veve MUCHERI "Paul Hauchard, jeune homme, natif de la ville de Metz, fils de David HAUCHARD, bourgeois de cette ville et Elizabeth le Roy, veve de Nicolas Mucheri, en son vivant bourgeois de cette ville et Diacre de cette Eglise ont été mariés en cette Eglise le 15. Avril 1668." Hanne Thorup Koudal

in yesterday's wondrous bit of ahistorical book review-ery... I will pass by the evil "Kings of France" in that (oh, how I long to launch into my "no such thing as the unitary French state" diatribe ;->), and go straight to the numbers, suggesting that those of us interested in the statistical history of the Huguenots would do well to get a copy of Philip Benedict's *The Huguenot Population of France, 1660-1685: The Demographic Fate and Customs Of A Religious Minority* (ISBN: 90-56477). Totally worth the price of admission. A nugget from the beginning: "...a more accurate approximation of the total number of Protestants living with (the geographic confines of the French state as of 1610) in the years 1660-70 might place the figure at just under 800,000 people..." (p. 9) Maps, stats, population demographics. A treat.

Which goes to prove never to trust anything you read on the Internet! or for that matter in print either without checking other sources. The late Nick Vine Hall was a professional genealogist with Huguenot ancestry. I talked to him about Huguenots at the Australasian Genealogical Congress in Melbourne in 2003. The New Zealand Society of Genealogists may hold the book in their (postal) library so I shall endeavour to check who made the error - the reviewer or the author. BTW there is an Australian Huguenot Society now.
