Mainly for Hanne Thorup Koudal What is the best way of tracing one of my ancestors who is said to have migrated from Monthelon, Department Marne to Bucholz [now, Annaberg-Bucholz] in Saxony - 1689ish ?

Dear Martin Blignaut 04.05.2006 I am not an expert in Hugenotten in Saxony, but I have found a web page about Annaberg-Buchholz: http://www.annaberg-buchholz.de/ This web page says that the town has a library. Stadtbibliothek Annaberg-Buchholz Klosterstraße 5 09456 Annaberg-Buchholz Tel.: 03733 / 22030 Also you could try: Deutsche Hugenotten-Gesellschaft e.V. (Tel. 05672 1433, Fax 05672 925072) Hafenplatz 9a, 34385 Bad Karlshafen info@hugenotten.de You could write a letter to the library in Annaberg-Buchholz or DHG to ask about hugenots in Annaberg-Buchholz. The town is in Erzgebirge, and silver is found in the mountains by the miners. About huguenots in Sachsen: http://www.hugenotten.de/htm_ger/geschi.html but your town is not mentioned by Jochen Desel und others. What family name are you looking for? Good luck. Friendly greetings Hanne Thorup Koudal, Denmark
