Hello Fellow Listers Now it has come to my mind that not all refugee Huguenots surely wandered off to far off North America, Wales, Ireland, Belgium, England, South Africa or Scotland. I wonder if any made the journey to the East Indies, afterall the Dutch did have a huge stake in that region. Perhaps some settled in India or even far off Cathay ? I know some did make it as far as Australia, although they were more likely the ancestors of Huguenots. Did Dirk Hartog have Walloon crew members ? For those who are not aware or have forgotten basic history, he happened to bump into Australia some 150 years prior to the Englishman Cook. And how, if our brave ancestors did arrive in the east, did they get there ? And what became of them after they arrived ? Kind of opens the field somewhat ? Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
