Dear everyone, One of 'my' TABOURDEUX (Jean Tabourdeux) has as his place of birth, variously: - de Duplarsis, Marly dans Lisle de France - du plessy Marlay de France Using Google I can find loads of information relating to Philippe Duplessis-Mornay (Philippe de Mornay), but I can't seem to find exactly where on the map Duplessis-Mornay might be. Philippe Duplessis-Mornay was obviously a key figure in the Huguenot movement and was Governor of Saumur (on the River Loire about halfway between Tours and Angers), but where exactly is the place where my ancestors came from?

Dear Suzie, You could try the website of ViaMichelin.com, choose Maps, pick France, type (in City/area) Plessis-Mornay, hit OK, and you will get a map of the surroundings of the little town/village of Le Plessis-Mornay near Paris (Ile-de-France). Duplessy and Duplessis are of course also surnames! Marly gives you a large number of different places. Maybe Marly-le-Roi?

Hallo Theo and Tony, Theo, That is brilliant. I had been using maporama.com and that didn't seem to find anthing that fitted so I had come to the conclusion that it was a person rather than a place. But viamichelin.com found Plessis-Mornay just south of Versailles. Tony, The book you mentioned, 'A Huguenot Family in the 16th Century, the memoirs of Philippe de Mornay' is even now on its way to me. That must advance, at least my understanding, if not my search. I hope that everyone will bear with me if I ask another question. Phillipe de Mornay (Du-Plessis-Mornay) was born at Buhy in Normandy (http://89.1911encyclopedia.org/M/MO/MORNAY_PHILIPPE_DE.htm) - so does that mean that his father was from Plessis-Mornay? Did the man take his name from the place or was it the other way round?
