An update on where I am so far: Research has led me to discovering at last where in France some of my Huguenot ancestors came from. Although I set out to locate the Hobler family in France, I have found that they intermarried in Switzerland with other families whose notarial records show that they all so far came from the Nettancourt, Conde-en-Barrois areas, Meuse, France in the late 1600's. It seems that there may have been a group of families who left the same area at the same time (in the 1680's) and settled in Morges, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. Can someone please tell me if it was usual for groups of family members from the same area to flee together or to relocate at the same place? With much help from John McCoy, I have traced the Hoblers (Hublers, Oubliers) back to around 1640 in Biel (Bienne) and Twann (Douanne) in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland and also to Basel but not yet to France. Other family names are: HENRION (b. 1660 Velaines?, Meuse; married Nettancourt, Meuse; died Morges, Vaud, Switzerland) CLAUDON (b. 1656 Conde-en-Barrois, Meuse; married Nettancourt, Meuse; died Morges, Vaud, Switzerland) CAPT (b about 1660-1670 Conde-en-Barrois, Meuse; married about 1694, Morges, Vaud, Switzerland ) Records for the following are all from Morges: GIRAUD SIMON BUVELOT COTTAUX SIMONNEAU Liisa Hobler _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
