Hello folks, Apologies I spelt the the address incorrectly and the original bounced. Poor excuse but this is my first posting. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Biggs To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 6:34 PM Subject: Deards Hello folks, I am researching my maternal family name Deards,which as one goes back in time also becomes Deardes and De'ards and no doubt other similar variations.Now in the 1600 -1630 period Christian names such as Jeronimy,Nathaniell,Peeter ,Maudlyne,and Magdalen arise. Could it be possible for these names to have any Huegonot or Walloon connection. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Regards, John M Biggs
