Hello everyone, I am Joe TWITCHIN and this is my first posting to this list. I am probably quite out of my depth(diving in).... but I am sure that my surname has French origins. My own direct line gets very cloudy around early 1800's and there are people with that name in Spitalfields which I learned a day or so ago (on this list) was a likely place for Huguenots......... I also have on record that there was a 'Thomas De La TWICHENE' in 1275 in Wiltshire and a Gilbert THUYCHENE in Cornwall in 1297. Subsequent to that there is on record a Richard TWITCHENER in KENT in 1432. I realise that there is a big gap between 1432 and early 1800's so the question that I must ask is 'Is there a listing of Huguenot surnames' that perhaps I can tap into to further my quest to 'dig up bones'?. Joe
