Listers -- The following listing of church records for La Rochelle, Charente-Martime, FRA was obtained from the LDS web site (www.familysearch.org ) under Place Search. These churches were: Temple Saint-Yon, Salle Saint-Michel, Temple Neuf, Salle Gargoulleau, Temple de la Villeneuve, Grand Temple and Sainte-Marguerite. While it does seem like there are a lot of records for these churches, note that most of them only cover a short time span, with some exceptions. Most also only include baptisms and marriages, but no deaths or burials. Also note that, often, records for more than one church are on the same film. Does anyone on the list have information to share about the community of La Rochelle? Or sources to consult which would "flesh out" the details about it? I know it is an area where many Huguenots originated yet I cannot recall seeing many details about this location, other than that it was a place of origin. If anyone has any info about La Rochelle which they would like to share, I hope you will post it here. And, by the way, instructions for doing a Place Search (ie. accessing listings for a particular location, worldwide) are -- Once on the LDS web site, click on Custom Search (top right corner), then on Family History Library Catalog, then on Place Search. Next, type in the name of the place you are interested in and a listing of sub-headings will appear. Click on specific sub-headings to access further info. Hope this is of interest to listers researching ancestors who originated in this area of France. Andrea 1) Registres paroissiaux, 1577-1630 de l'Eglise réformée: Temple Saint-Yon.
