Charles W. Baird's *History of the Huguenot Emigration to America*?
I don't have a copy to hand, but the appendices' titles seem to fit the
bibliographical descriptions of that work.

Hi Chloe
I've had a look in the records of the Weavers Company from 1610-1730.
There are no DuSoleil or similar in the Court Records which give the lists
of all those admitted as apprentices, masters from the UK or abroad for all
that time.
There are two references to Jean Du Soul, though it's difficult to determine
whether they are the same person, the first from 1674 and the second in
1677.
There are two references to John Du Soul, the first in 1683 when he was
admitted a foreign weaver and the s
Hi everyone
I seem to be the only one researching the DU SOLEIL (and variants) surname for Huguenots. I can't seem to get further back than the birth of one of my ancestor's children in 1752 at the French Huguenot Church in Westminster. And even then, it's just guesswork that I have the same people because my ancesor was baptised in a different church in 1763.
My ancestor was Thomas DUSOLEI. Baptised Thomas DusolAi in 1763 in St Anne Soho. His parents were John and Mary. There was a son baptised in the

I assume you mean the family of Ghislain [not Guillaume] Vigne and

settlers to New Netherland in 1624. They were from Valenciennes and

Hi Cathy
The temiognage was like an internal passport between the French Churches
across Europe and they just imported the system - as they did with birth,
baptism and marriage records - when they came over.
Early in the Diaspora, when the refugees needed to be seen to be in good
standing, the tems. would be used between the Churches in England, so you
get people moving up from Canterbury to - say - Threadneedle Street, or even
from the different strands of worship within London. Not necessarily

I take your point about the late date of Michel BARBIER's temoignage,
and certainly considered that he was at the very tail-end of the mass
migration of French Protestants. May I seek your advice on the question of

Hi Phyl
As we have said before, there are no such names as Huguenot names, just
French names that just happened to apply to Huguenots.
I've looked up all three names in the Hug Soc of GB material including all
the as yet unreleased stuff that will be coming out in the next few weeks.
Hoise: 150 hits in 18 various volumes, though none for the name per se, it's
all contained within place names or longer names.
Pidd only appears once as Piddock.
Lyttledyke, no hits.
Hoissard appears twice in Proceedin
Hi Hanne
There are 10 FLEUREN/T references in the Hug Soc material, including some
early entries in Canterbury (1633/34),
There is only one in the Thorney transcripts, looks like a baptism of
Jacques, son of Michel de FLEUREN and Ester WANTIER.
There are also some cross references to St FLORANT and St FLEURENT.
Nothing in Proceedings except a reference to a place called St Florent.
The name FLEURENNE appears in the Premiere Serie and the name FLEURANT
appears in the 1988 edition of Cahiers du Centre

Stella, it would be really useful if you provided some

your earliest DALPHIN & BOOL ancestors (where/
when did they live/marry/die) and what leads you to

Although it isn't directly linked to this Forum I monitor the Huguenot Message Board. The following message was posted on 6 July, I'm sure that Bob DeLozier may be able to help:

Hi Folks,
In Robert Gwynn's book "Huguenot Heritage" he states that:
"Nearly three-fifths of those whose trade is given in the records of La
Patente, Spitalfields, between 1689 and 1716 were connected with textile
trades, and an astonishing four-fifths of those named in the French Church
of London registers between 1698 and 1706". (p.87)
So, in London at least, the majority of Huguenots were connected with
the textile trades, but it was certainly not universal.

You've made the whole tems issue much clearer. Thanks for clearing up
the issue of COLOMME and ST COLOMME. I guess that I don't have much to go on
there. From the sound of it, I should just put the tems aside and
concentrate on actually making a link back to Michel BARBIER.
I am still a little uneasy that there is only a single reference to

It seems that a Jaques DE FLEUREN, son of Michel DE FLEUREN or DESLEURAN and
his wife Ester or Susanne WANTIER or PARAN, was christened 11.09.1664 in

In another place I have found the information that Jaques FLEUREN or DE

(born about 1640).
