Hello dear Listers, I'm reading for a while in this list en now I will try to ask something about mu ancestors. Hope anyone can help me because I've looked en search for a very long time. The nam I.m searching is URY/URI/URIE. They were weaver-family and Hugenots, and went from Lyon to Switscherland in 1776. In France there name was PORTILLE, (I can't find anything about that name) they changed there name (in Bern) into URY. Via Germany (Hanau) they went to the Netherlands. Two Brothers URY studiet Theologie in Genf circa 1780. The given names I know are: Isaak,Samuel, Pierre, Jean, Louis, Frederic. There was a Isaac who married in Hanau withe Marie Judith le PLAT in 1734. And a Samuel who married Jeanne Marie le ROI(le ROY) in 1736, also in Hanau Germany. I can't get the right link to my family, does someone knows more data about this names? I hope so, because I can't go on with my tree. Whishing evryone understand my English :-) Much Greetings from Marianne Uri The Netherlands.
