Hello fellow researchesr. I do very much agree with Andrea's suggestion about the naming of our Huguenot?waloon ancestors, as i have (as most do i suppose) with similar names in my family. I did however read an article (Details of which i cannot lay my hands on at present - typical !) that suggested the resaon for so many old testament names was to differentiate them from R.C followers who used Saints names for their offspring. Hope this is of help regards David hanchard
