Jean: Thanks for the information. I guess I just need a place to start and you have given me that place. I'll will give it a try and see what happens. Wish me LUCK.

The Queen herself gave the signal for the killing to begin. 3000 were killed in Paris, 70,000 in all of France. (Go to Google and read about it -- it will curl your hair!) My gggg grandparents were lucky to escape to Holland where after several years they boarded De Vergulde Bever (the Gilded Beaver) on May 15, 1658 and arrived on Aug 18 -- a really fast trip! I did this research several years ago, so I don't remember all the sources of info, but I used Google a lot and I got the Ship and Passenger Information from "First Settlement of New York by the Dutch" I believe that Cyndi's List has info about the Huguenots!

Bill, I found two Foshay bios online that start with Jan Foshay who came to NYS in 1695. This is my line so it must be yours too. Unfortunately the links wouldn't send when I tried to send it here. So I'll see if they will transmit privately. Otherwise I'll copy and paste the entire lines into Wordpad and send them privately if you feel they will be useful to you.
