Some time ago now I discovered the wonderful work of Alan Stanier http://privatewww.essex.ac.uk/~alan/family/index.html Amongst many other items of some interest to our tribe, happened to be this little article State Papers, Domestic - Commonwealth CXXIX 21 August 1656 Now many might find such reading of little interest, if you happen to be a descendent of a couple of the names then it is of very great importance to your records. Where else would one seek assistance on matters Huguenot other than either the Huguenot Society of Great Britain & Ireland - http://www.huguenotsociety.org.uk/ or right here in this wonderful HWE mailing list. My enquiry is with regard to the following names, who were signatures to the document written so long ago. Are you related to any of these Huguenot folk who signed the document ? No guessing now and so read carefully and then double check your sources. If you are, then please via this list, tell us how you are related. And no.... not the whole 5000 steps to 2003 just John Smith is my Grandfather x 10 or somesuch and maybe a little story of what you know of your ancestor.
