Elisabeth Nyhammer-Gustavsson asked "could an huguenot belong to a catolic church instead?" Hmm now there is a very debatable question. To my mind the answer could be a "maybe". Why do I suggest "maybe"? Well, as most people were Catholic to begin, there must surely have been a short "cross-over" period. It is not as though one just woke up one morning, conducted ablutions and said.."ah, tis a good day to be a Huguenot" And so the "maybe" it was possible to be a Catholic but moving on to Lutheranism or somesuch. Of course once the super duper, fabulously wealthy Catholic clergy discoverd that one was even so much as contemplating reading or listening to Luther, Zwingli or Cauvin, then it was off to the local town square for a barbecue. So my answer is a definitive "maybe". It doesn't help much with your research Elizabeth, but as we all know, keeping an open mind in those early searches often takes you to that ground breaking discovery. Genealogy is the art of lateral thinking at times. Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
