Hi Martin et all Answer to BLIGNAUT-subject: Daniel LE BLOND, born 1660 i Cormeilles, Picardie, France or Morgny-en-Thiérache, France, dead 30.06.1737 in Fredericia, Denmark, married (I, bef. 1690) Marie LE TROCAIS/LE FRANCOIS (dead bef. 1718), married (II, abt. 1691 in Brandenburg, Preussen, Germany) Marie BERTHE, born abt. 1664 in Saint-Michel, Thiérache, France, dead 17.03.1732 in Fredericia, Denmark, married (II). Yes, Daniel LE BLOND and Marie BERTHE were my ancestors. Daniel LE BLOND was a tobacplanter; the family were of French Reformed Religion. He was in Brandenburg (town or area) about 1692. 1721-1737 he was in Fredericia. He was a member of the consistoire of the French Reformed Church of Fredericia in 1721, and he was one of three persons, who came to negotiate with the Danish king, before the colony in Fredericia was established. The other two negotiators were Jacob DEVANTIER (born 1665, dead about 1733) and Paul d'ARREST. The last did never go to Denmark. Greetings Hanne Thorup Koudal
