Interesting. How do you know this stuff? -----Original Message----- From: gjgarner@shaw.ca To: newbrunswick@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 1 May 2007 3:47 PM Subject: [ NB ] re Dutch Loyalists Several of the Loyalist families from New York (specifically Staten island) and Connecticut were actually of French Huguenot backgrounds although they often came from either the Netherlands or England immediately before they emigrated to the colonies. Generally there is a one-two generation break between when the family left France, and ended up in North America. Some examples of families that would be included in this list would be Mersereau, Arbeau, Bulyea (Belyea), De Peysters, Sayres and Pomfrets ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NEWBRUNSWICK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
