I am trying to cover various requests found on the list after my return from holiday. Some were specific requests and others of a general nature. What I have done is to check the following names against both Paris Genealogical Library and the list of prisoners that I possess. HERVE There are some 77 references to this name in the Paris library but none on the list of prisoners ALFONT(E)/LAFONT. There are 20 reference s to the latter variation in the Paris library and also a Henri LAFONTE was deported from France in 1687 to one of their Colonies. This information from the prisoners list. SICARD Somebody asked if this was of French origin. There are 18 references to the name SICARD in the Paris library, one of which is in Canada. No reference on the prisoners list DEBANFER. No reference GUERIN There are 151 references in the Paris library and 14 to Saintonge, the likely origin of some of the family. There were also a MARIE and Philippe GUERIN who, according to the prisoners list, were deported from France. DUMONT/DUMOND No reference but there is reference to a Marie DEMOUD de Tracy en Picardie in the prisoners list. BILLIBEAU No reference. FEUILLADES No references GIRARD There are 171 references to this name in the Paris library but none on the prisoners list. A question was raised as to whether this is a Huguenot name and most certainly some of them were. It is a name that occurs in the family I am researching and they were definitely Huguenots from the Saumur area. Hope this is OK and will try to answer any questions that arise. Sorry to do it this way but I am trying to plough through some 7000 messages that accumulated whilst away. Roy.
