    1. [HWE] Protestants held prisoner/deported from France.
    2. Roy Day
    3. Quite a lot of information exists regarding the above covering the years 1685 - 1789 and I possess some of the information. The total information covers 1. People deported to the American colonies which also includes those who died on the journey and those who were shipwrecked. 2. Protestants trainés sur la claie ou déterrés a la voierie. I think this says something like Protestants dug up and dragged around on a trellice - not sure if they were dead our alive. Perhaps somebody more knowledgeable could translate this old French. 3 Protestants jailed and this list some 36 such places together with names of the prisoners. What I possess are the names in the first two headings together with those imprisoned in the Bastille in 1685 and 1686. If there is sufficient interest I can place the names on the list and also obtain the rest of the names but this will be a very long and it may be that Andrea would prefer me to do look ups rather than clutter the list. I will be away on holiday until the 17th February and it will take a day or two to plough through the mail that arrives during that period before I reappear.
