Mainly for Barbara Dulaney Engels I had a quick look on geneaNet and noticed that, in many cases, the surname you are interested in occurs in Normandy. You can, however, look at the major centres in the Marne departement,such as, Rheims [spelt, Reims in French] and Chalons en Champagne - they are listed in the Marne Archives. Unfortunately, the acts for these places being numerous, the work of putting them online is not yet completed, so don't be too disappointed if you don't find anything at first - just go back and look again from time-to-time !

Whilst engaged in searching for matters military rather than Huguenot I stumbled across something that I thought may interest this list, in Wikipedia: Dragonnades. "A policy, commonly called in French "dragonnades", was instituted by Louis XIV in order to intimidate Huguenot families to reconvert to Roman Catholicism. It involved billeting particularly obnoxious and difficult soldiers known as dragons (dragoons) within the Protestant households where they were encouraged to wreak havoc. The policy caused great numbers of Protestants to flee France even before the religious rights granted them by the Edict of Nantes were removed in 1685." Yours Aye Andrew Sellon

I have been researching the PINTARD genealogy and a Count Jean and Marie Celeste PINTARD appear in the following reference: "It is a tradition that the PLACE family was among those who were succored by Count Jean PINTARD and his noble wife, the Countess Marie Celeste PINTARD, to reach England and later America." The PLACE family first went to New Rochelle, New York and then went to other colonies. My ancestor, Antoine PINTARD, came to America in 1687 from St Roman de Tosque by way of La Rochelle and the Island of St Christopher in the West Indies. I have not been able to make a connection between Antoine and Jean PINTARD, although some genealogists have done so. I would most appreciate help in finding information on Jean and Marie Celeste. Thanks. Bill Pintard

Martin, I think this is what I've been looking for for a long time but I've been off the list for sometime and just getting back on. Unfortunately, I don't know French. I'm going to have to get a dictionary and see if I can figure out some of it or wait til my son comes to visit and have him work on it for me. I've never been able to find anything on GIDEON DELAUNE (OR GUILLAUME his father) in France. I know they fled France to England during the St. Bartholomew's (sic) Massacre. Thanks for this site. Maybe it will help.

A Thomas TIMMONS mentions a sister in a will dated 1756. The married name of the sister in Ireland is Sarah GALLERY. From my limited research, GALLERY seems that it might be French. At any rate, does anybody have any information about GALLERY? Ray

Dear Jocelyn, How wonderful to have this still in the family! There is a sampler worked by my 5x gt.grandmother Catharine LEFORT mentioned in her husband's will in 1818 - he leaves it to one of her granddaughters - so obviously it was valued, to be specially mentioned in a will, but alas, there's no way of knowing where it is now!! I'd certainly seek the help of experts for advice on preservation. Are you in Australia? I think you'd need to take it to reputable museum or possibly a needlework authority, but don't let anyone amateur near it!!

I have recently found a cousin who is descended from Jean Baptiste Galiegue and his first wife ( I am descended from his second wife, Anne HESSE). One of their French born sons, Jean Michel GALIEGUE married Catherine BERTIER and they had a number of children. One was a daughter, Catherine , born 1783. She stitched a sampler when she was about 10 and it is still in the family - 220 years later It is silk on silk and is part woven and part stitched. I have a picture of it now and realise it needs preserving properly. Is there anyone on the list who could advise the best way to preserve this fabulous piece of history? Am happy to send a pic of it if anyone is interested. Catherine married John REYNOLDS and had at least a daughter , Catherine b 1811and probably 2-3 sons, but we have been unable to find the REYNOLDS family in 1841- Catherine b 1783 was still alive in 1843, her daughter died earlier, probably in child birth. I would also be interested in what an ' undertaker' did back in the 1700's. The family were silk weavers and the best I can find out is that an undertaker took the silk and treated it somewhere other than the main weaving place. Thanks for any tips Jocelyn

Have just found on the IGI what "may" be the baptism of my ggggrandmother: Charlotte Carey at Walloons & Strangers at Kent in 1762, her mothers name is given as Marie BOITTELLE, her father is Samuel CAREY. Charlotte CAREY first married a Thomas DRURY in 1792 at Christ Church, Spitalfields, they had two sons: Thomas and Henry, then the husband died and Charlotte married Abraham LUYA at Christ Church Spitalfields in 1800 and their son Abraham Luya b 1801, is my ggggrandfather. I know that the LUYA were Huguenot. Does anyone have any information regarding the names BOITTELLE or CAREY or any information regarding this baptism, sponsers etc. The baptism date is 11th June 1762. Cheers, Su

Dear Jocelyn, What a wonderful heirloom, I would strongly advice do absolutely nothing (apart from keeping your sampler out of the light) until you can consult a properly qualified fabric conservator. Sorry to sound edgy but I have seen so many things damaged with in expert attention I jointly lead a local Family History Group and as part of our 2006 programme we are visiting the Conservation Laboratories attached to our County Archives. I've no idea of the Australian structure, but I am sure any major museum or archive, will point you in the right direction. it would be interesting to hear how you get on. Good luck Lesley Pinchbeck

Hi, Jocelyn, Sorry I can't answer any of your questions, but I would love to see a picture of the sampler. Good luck in your research.

Anyone else got further ideas? MD: Wasn't there at one time a UK census database online for the 1841-1891 censuses (censi?) that allowed you to look at address information? I swear there was... Also, the City of London Archives' online info request facility: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/Corporation/applications/family-research/fami ly_history_research_service.htm And maybe the Gazetteer of British Place Names? http://www.abcounties.co.uk/newgaz/index.htm And finally the trade directories for England and Wales, maybe? http://www.historicaldirectories.org/

Hello -- This is in reply to Simon and his query about the French Protestant Society for Apprenticing Orphan Children. Perhaps it might be of help to contact the Huguenot Society in London to see if they have any info about this organization and school. They may also be able to confirm the correct spelling. Here is a page on our website which will tell you how to contact the Society: http://www.island.net/~andreav/orgsaddsbri.htm. If they do have some info, it may be in their Proceedings publications. Simon, you didn't mention any dates but I'm guessing that if it was only in your great-grandfather's time, this was fairly recent (ie. 1800s?) If this is so, a search of the earlier English censuses (eg. 1851, 1861, etc) might be of help, and if that isn't where you got the info you mentioned. The censuses are indexed and online on either Ancestry.co.uk or Ancestry.com if you have access to those websites. For example, many FHCs have free access. I also did a web search for Langourini and found nothing, nor did I find anything for French Protestant Society for Apprenticing Orphan Children. However, using the keywords "Carey Street, Lincoln's Inn" turned up quite a bit of info, not all of which looked relevent and which I did not have time to look through but which you may find of interest. I did find reference to some early time periods (1600s-1700s) and also to barristers and the Old Bailey. So those references, while not about the school itself, may give you an idea what this area of London was like. Lastly, while I was on the Huguenot Society website, I linked through to the library catalogue which is part of the eUCLid network for the University College of London and found a book which may not be of help but I'll mention it anyway. The title is "The Court of Orphans: a study in the history of urban institutions, with special reference to London, Bristol, and Exeter in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries". It's by Charles Hope Carlton (published Los Angeles, 1970). Hope this helps. Anyone else got further ideas? Regards, everyone. Andrea

Have just discovered a note that may indicate that my Gt. Grandfather may have attended (been an inmate) of the above institution. Address shown as Langourini School, Carey Street, Lincoln's Inn. (Note spelling of Langourini may be suspect due to quality of hand writing) Does anybody know any details, information about the above. Are any of the records still available? If so where? Simon Le Marechal

In the book: "Hugenotten in Berlin" by Sibylle Badstübner-Gröger and others is an article from Margarete Welge about the charity work of the French Reformed Church in Berlin (Die Armenfürsorge)and there you can see pictures of the orphanage and copies of some documents. From the citations it says that these documents are taken from the archives of the French Reformed Church in Berlin. So that is probably where to search for more: Write to Archiv der Franz. Ref. Kirche Berlin Mr. Violet Gendarmenmarkt 5 10117 Berlin Germany And hope for the best... Ina www.hugenotten-uckermark.de

Hello! Who has ancestors or relatives living in the orphanage of the french reformed church in Berlin? Exists some reports about the orphanage? Wessen Vorfahren oder Verwande haben lebten im Waisenhaus der französisch reformierten Gemeine in Berlin? Gibt es Berichte über pder aus diesem Waisenhaus? Viele Grüße Martin
