Hi Andrea and Listers: Thank you for your warm welcome to the List. I hope I am in the right place, but will let you decide after you have seen my information. My earliest ancestor HENRI DE RAMPLIN had a son who married a Sarah Field from Dublin, Ireland. From then downwards De Ramplin has been the family name, often the second name of the eldest son. One of my cousins has a letter stating that De Ramplin was anglicized from DE RAMBOUILLET. In some information on French Protestant Exiles we have found an ANTHONY GIDEON DE RAMBOUILLLET and his brother CHARLES WILLIAM (married to ANNE DE PRATT DU CLAREAU.There was also a MARIE HENRIETTE DE RAMBOUILLET who was the second wife of LOUIS CHEVALLEAU, SEIGNEUR DE BOISRAGON. As I have no dates to back up HENRI DE RAMPLIN, I was wondering if anyone is familiar with these names, and also if any French Protestant Exiles went to Ireland. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Marilyn, Ontario
