As the Catholic Church and presumably their cemeteries would be the only ones before the Reformation then my guess is that Huguenots in or out of the closet would have been buried in them. In Ireland old cemeteries that have become Church of Ireland by default include Catholic burials.

Hi Shirley Arabin mentioned that graves might have had cypress planted near them in order to show that the graves contained Huguenots. Is this an indication that closet Huguenots were sometimes buried in Catholic graveyards? It's well known, of course, that the Huguenots were strongest in the south of the country and cypress seems to dominate there. I wonder how the Huguenots of the chillier north marked their graves?

Glad none of my family are buried in this area, I would not want my ancestors bones hused for chandeliers. Every one to his own.

Completely not related to Huguenot's but is to clearing out cemeteries. I went to the Capucian Monk chapel in Rome in 1997 (near the Spanish Steps) and they have decorated their chapel with the bones of their followers/parish - so you walk down an aisle and up above you might be a light fixture made out of hip bones, or other stuff. Kind of interesting and not really gross at all. I forget why they dug them up and did that.

Does anyone have any information on the BESNARDs.that I can add to website www.radleysofcork.bigpondhosting.com . Julius Caesar Besnard was my 4xgreat grandfather. Thank you for any assistance. Lorraine

I was beginning to think it was the list that was dead and buried. At one of the international reunions in France we went to, I remember being told that the Huguenots planted cypress to identify they were Huguenot graves. Shirley

Not the first one in Europe though ....... and there was the clearing of the crypt at Christ Church Spitalfields in the 1990s which involved many Huguenot families from Spitalfields. Regards Tony Fuller

Hi Yes. They've been a long time dead - there's nothing slower than that ! Anyone know what the excavations revealed ? -- Martin moslins1@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again

Folks, It is too slow around here. Here's something to hopefully start some posting. http://www.inrap.com/site/en/page.php?id=60&p=&id_communique=78

Hi Apologies. Date of intended excavation should be: June 2005 [not, 1965]. Martin Blignaut -- Martin moslins1@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Access your email from home and the web

Hi I recently came across an article, dated June 1965, about the intended excavation of a Huguenot cemetary at Saint Maurice [Val-de-Marne]. It seems that this place was the designated burial ground for the Huguenots of Paris. The article says that the excavations promise to reveal much about Huguenot burial practices. However, I can't find any later references which might indicate the results of the excavations - anybody know any more.

There are several editions of this great book. The 1957 edition that I have is abridged, but still good. I found it on the Internet used for about 15 US Dollars. The Rivasson that they meet while in prison is Samuel de RIVASSON, a distant cousin of mine from Bergerac. When Samuel saw the terrible state of Jean Marteilhe, he and his friend decided to abjure even though his Uncle was a Huguenot pastor.

Speaking of Huguenots and ships: Interesting book....I may have posted this before... "The Huguenot Galley slave", Autobiography of a French Protestant Condemned to the Galleys for the Sake of his religion, by Jean Marteilhe, University Press of the Pacific, Honolulu, Hawaii. ISBN: 1-4102-0108-2, 2002, Reprinted from the 1867 edition, www.universitypressofthepacific.com Some notes on the author/translator: ------------------------------- Oliver Goldsmith Oliver Goldsmith was born November 10, 1730 in Kilkenny West, County Westmeath, Ireland. Around the time of his birth, his family moved into a considerable home in Lissoy, where Goldsmith spent his childhood. As the son of an Anglo-Irish clergyman, he grew up the fifth of seven children. He attended schools in Elphin, Athlone, and Edgeworthstown and at seven years of age contracted small pox. This is said to be the reason why he was considered such an awkward boy. Goldsmith remained awkward throughout life and with such harsh facial features that not even Sir Joshua Reynolds could soften them with his compassionate brushstrokes. Between 1749 and 1750 it is believed that Goldsmith lived idly at home, and in 1750 he prepared to take holy orders. He was rejected, however, by the Bishop of Elphin, so Goldsmith left Ireland to study medicine in Edinburgh. Though his father was now dead, several of Goldsmith’s relatives had undertaken to support him in his pursuit of a medical degree (Britannica). In 1756 he arrived in London worn out and destitute. Here, he came to be known as Dr. Goldsmith—Doctor being the courtesy title for one who held the Bachelor of Medicine—but he took no degree while at Edinburgh nor, so far as anyone knows, during the two-year period when, despite meagre funds, he somehow managed to make his way through Europe (Britannica). While in London, Goldsmith worked as an apothecary’s assistant, school usher physician, and a hack writer—reviewing, translating, and compiling. It remains amazing that this young Irish vagabond, unknown, uncouth, relatively unlearned, and unreliable, was yet able within a few years to climb from obscurity to mix with aristocrats and the intellectual elite of London (Britannica). Such a rise was possible because Goldsmith had one quality, soon noticed by booksellers and the public, that his fellow literary hacks did not possess—the gift of a graceful, lively and readable writing style (Britannica). As of 1757 Goldsmith was working under Ralph Griffiths as an editor for the Monthly Review and also as a proofreader for a local printer. In February of 1758 Goldsmith published a two-volume translation of The Memoirs of a Protestant, Condemned to the Galleys of France for His Religion by Jean Marteilhe, under the pseudonym of ‘James Willington’. From 1759-1761 various writings by Goldsmith appeared in several British publications. Some of these publications include Busy Body, the Ladies’ Magazine, the Critical Review and Smollett’s British Magazine (Jeffares 13). Late in his life, Goldsmith buried himself deeper and deeper in debt and his earnings as an author became too limited, allegedly due to gambling. Goldsmith died April 4, 1774 in London of fever and kidney trouble. His epitaph, furnished by Samuel Johnson, reads: "Oliver Goldsmith: A Poet, Naturalist, and Historian, who left scarcely any style of writing untouched, and touched nothing that he did not adorn. Of all the passions, whether smiles were to move or tears, a powerful yet gentle master. In genius, vivid versatile, sublime. In style, clear, elevated, elegant."
