Here is another look-up, everyone, this time for James <JamesCHimes@aol.com> who made his request on 17 Sept for surnames MILLARD, MAILLARD, MILLIARD. His area of interest is southern France, then Nova Scotia, CAN, pre-1875. There are no listings in the 2000 GRD for the MAILLARD spelling. However, there is one person with a listing for both MAILLARDET and MAILLARDOTT, in ENG & FRA, all time periods. This rings a bell with me. I may have sent it to James already (from same listing in 1999 GRD). If not, please let me know off-list and I will send details. The 1999 GRD also includes a listing for MAILLAUD, 1700+ in Franche-Comte, FRA. For MILLIARD, there are no listings. However, for MILLARD there are twenty listings for various locations (eg. Australia, English counties of Bedfordshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, Middlesex, Northumberland, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex, Staffordshire, Wiltshire, also Counties Mayo and Sligo in Ireland). No Canadian locations are mentioned. Please contact me off-list if you are interested in any of these locations. For further info about Huguenots who settled in Nova Scotia, there is a nicely-done personal web page done by a person who is specifically interested in this topic. As it says on the site, "many Nova Scotians and their descendants are of.....French Huguenot lineage", most of them apparently originating from the area of Montbéliard in northern France near the German border. The home page URL for this website is http://www.intergate.bc.ca/personal/dconrad/index.htm. It includes a specific section on Huguenots at http://www.intergate.bc.ca/personal/dconrad/huguenot.htm where there are some related links to other Huguenot information. There is also a surname list which includes MAILLARD. A quotation on the web site caught my eye as well because I think is particularly apt regarding our Huguenot ancestors (or any ancestors who faced adversity and/or persecution). It's a line from a song sung by The Rankin Family (a Canadian group from Atlantic Canada, for those who don't know) and it says "We rise again in the faces of our children." Isn't that fitting? "We rise again....." The one (small) frustrating thing for me about the site, though, is that I couldn't find this person's own name anywhere on it! He refers to himself as "me" or "I" but I could not find a sentence which said "My name is.....". Maybe I just wasn't looking properly. Anyway, I think his name is D. Conrad (which fits with the "dconrad" in the URL) but maybe I'm wrong. And while we are on the subject of Huguenots who settled in Canada, here is another URL kindly provided by Gary in a post to the list on 22 Aug. It's Liste provisoire des huguenots en Nouvelle-France, ie. Huguenots going from France to Canada, 1670+. The URL is http://pages.infinit.net/barbeaum/listem.htm. Hope this helps James and also others. Andrea .
