Hi John Better to describe the relief as from the English monarchy as it came from kings and queens alike but more importantly from taxes and impositions through the Anglican Church. It's usually called the Royal Bounty by the way and that's the name it's archived under. The original records are in the Huguenot Library in London but under the new policy there, because they are archival documents you are unlikely to get access to them as they are also on microfiche which should be the first place to look. But, the only index for the list was prepared at the University of Toulouse some years ago and that is also in the Library so you should be able to find the name that you are looking for quite easily and then cross reference to the main microfiche. But the information in the index is so comprehensive you should not need to look at the original documents as all references are there. A knowledge of French is not required. Which family/families are you interested in? Regards Tony Fuller

This thread is really my fault as I put John on the track of it because I couldn't remember the full name of the Bounty. However, I've now found the list which was posted - although as I see for the first time, it's not complete. Anyway, here it is John. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~frpayments/Index.htm You may like to follow Tony's advice too to find the remainder of the names.

Hi Jeanette This is one of those odd places on the Internet where some work was done but it's not complete by any stretch of the imagination, there is masses of it missing. As for the Committee Lists, the only way of getting them, and the main index, is through the original material/French Index, see previous email. Regards Tony Fuller
