MD of Hugonaut Sorry but I have made no such discovery and I don't recall saying that. It is merely a possibility. What I may have said is that my Nevills here in Ontario married into the SECORD (SICARD) family who were of Huguenot ancestry and whose home when coming to North America was in New Rochelle, N.Y. as was Dr. Jean Neufvilles. The above mentioned marriage took place in 1808 which is a long time removed from Dr. John Neufville of New Rochelle. There is of course a chance that these families were acquainted back in New Rochelle; it was a small settlement so they likely were but whether that would be remembered in Ontario more than 100 years later is doubtful. However it is certainly worth exploring the possibility of our Nevill ancestors in MD being of Huguenot ancestry. > ancestry (who, if I remember right, Paddy, came via New York?), I think > there's a great possibility that Jean deNeufville is Paddy's, Pete's and > my common ancestor. > Last week I wrote to The Huguenot Society in N.Y. State asking if they have any information on John Neufville in their files and if so could I purchase copies. I will post the results if and when I obtain any. Paddy
