Yes, back again, but please, put down your crossbows and pikes, I come in peace and olive branch and all good stuff. See, I am not reallya a blasphemer or heretic :) While pondering some of the more recent topics I found myself scanning the db during the reformation period and came across a name that has much fascination for us. Now I know they were staunch Catholic but it may just be that my clan had some influence over some of their clan in turning them to the dark side, that is, maybe some took up with the Huguenots. Now the name is featured strongly around the time of Marty Luther but one of the daughters married into my ancestral line and their descendents became Huguenots and so as with all things cause and affect maybe the name CHAUVIGNY holds both Catholic and Huguenot families ? If anyone does have this name buried in the past, I would love to hear from you. Oh and if by chance MACHI rings a bell, them too. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
