I am only a "lurker", but wanted to tell you I read everyone of the messages
on the Board--Hoping for connection to my family - TOUCHARD and DEDE (among
others.) God bless you and your husband Andrea. Have a wonder trip to
Scotland-Glasgow or Edinburgh side? (I lived both areas there for 3 yrs, a
long, long time ago.) You do a marvellous job and I certainly do appreciate
your daily efforts and I have indeed learned a great deal in my short time
of researching. Thanks again.

I'm hoping that somebody who can speak French will be able to tell me how this name is pronounced. In particular is the f pronounced as in fish or do they have another way of saying it in this case? It is evidently Anjouean if that makes a difference. Don't know a word of French myself but have just come across this name with the unusual Cupp at the beginning and so I'll explore all avenues to see if I can make it fit,
Regards

Jane was enquiring about the above name but regret to say I cannot find any
reference to the name amongst my Huguenots. This includes both English and

Dear Huguenot researchers,
I'm not new to this list - I just changed my last name and email address.
It was Ina Friling and is now Ina Jonas-Nolte and the email InaJoNo@aol.com.
Why? Well I got married and dropped my old lastname from first marriage and
took my husbands lastname Jonas and added my maiden name Nolte. (You can do
all kind of stuff with names in Germany now when you get married...)
I'm still researching the huguenots that came before 1700 via Pfalz /
Palatinate to the Uckermark in Prussia a
Different fellow altogether.

Dear listers --
I notice that we've had a total of eight posts to the list today --
well, nine counting this one -- and the day's not over yet, at least in my
little corner of the planet. And, yes, I realize that six of those posts
have been from me, either as comments of my own or as forwards
from the new Message Board. But, we also had twelve posts to the list
yesterday and nine the day before that (only two of all those were mine).
It seems that it's either feast or famine on HWE. I prefer f
I have forwarded the message below as I did request that messages for a look

Could you Tom let me have more information about your family as I suspect
you are based in Canada. What for example makes you think your FORCE
actually came to England and can you provide any information as to when they
left France.
There is information about a FORCE family in the above but I want to be
reasonably certain that it is the one you are looking for.

Thanks Roy. You're the greatest!
Do you know if all the Huguenot refugees that settled in England and in the American colonies had to be naturalized to become citizens? Did they have to become citizens? Would there be records somewhere?
Rene La Force was employed by the English government of the colony of Virginia. I believe the law stated that anyone involved in the Court system in any manner must be an English citizen, so I feel he must have been naturalized either in England or in the colonies.

Thanks for your offer. I"ve run into a thick brick wall and cannot find

Hi Andrea
Many thanks for the information on James BOUFLURES. I had actually found him
from the IGI but did not have the other info. I think the name may well be a
variant of BOUFFLER (of which there are several) but I hadn't hurried to
check on him because the marriage was in Kent where I had never found any
known members of the family. Now I see from your note that he was born in
Bermondsey, London where I have plenty of ancestors I am inspired to look
into him pdq. That should be a lesson to me
Hi Roy,
Thank you for the lookup.

Not exactly. They were in London in 1722 as there is a baptism at the
French Huguenot Church, Wheeler St (according to the IGI). They were in
London in 1800 but attending CofE, the father was born 1751 but I don't
know where, also the marriage to his much younger wife is proving elusive.

same surnames which George is interested in), sent to the list yesterday (14

Hello Roy,
I almost hesitate to ask, since so many of us put a claim on you. Still I
will follow in their steps because I can't find the smallest crack in my
brick wall. I traced my RABBELIER/RABELJE/RABELIE/ROBELIE ancestors just
till 1732, when my direct forefather Christiaan (Chretienne) RABBELJER
married a Dutch woman in the city of Nijmegen, NLD. Then it stops. Did you,
by the way, find a name a bit similar?
I thank you in advance Roy.
Kind regards,
