Hi Lynn,
www.davidrumsey.com has some great high resolution Cassini maps of France.
But you have to download
one of their Viewers (and temprarily turn off pop-up
blocker). Then search by Country - France. They have
326 maps, but I page through to the Cassini maps.
You can also get to local Cassini map views by going
to - http://perso.wanadoo.fr/sylvain.chardon/locom/loc_dep.htm
and selecting a department, then scroll down and click
on a department. It will change color on the little
map and you will b

Hi folks
The FRC in London does not have access to wills per se.
The wills are kept at the Probate Office in London (don't have the email
address to hand) but, depending on when the death occurred there may be
another way of looking for them.
At the Huguenot Library in London there is a small set of books called the
Wagner Wills. They are extracts from Wills for names identified as being
Huguenot by the indefatigable Henry Wagner at the beginning of the 20th
century. The Hug Soc currently has a project
Yes - just seems to be very quiet now. List Daddy is getting settled in new

I've been involved with the Duke surname yDNA genealogy project for
some time, and I'm a firm believer in yDNA testing for genealogy. (I
have some background in this area as a professional anthropologist,
although I'm certainly not a population geneticist, just an
archaeologist who refers to pop. genetics for related information.)
Genetic studies can knock down brick walls that otherwise could never
be conquered and reveal errors of interpretation that have been
accepted as gospel for decades. And ye
I am new to researching my Huguenot families. Can anyone recommend a
good on-line source of historical maps of France?

Start with the map at:

It appears to me that your church is in the area of the "City of London".
It is right near Spitalfields, (it is a Huguenot site, and now the site of a
interpretive museum - find their website), near St. MAry Le Bow, right in
the banking district off of Fleet St.
There was also a website about German Churches in London, which had a link
to the FEEHS website, which mentioned that all the records from your Austin

I keep hearing about DNA projects and have considered it.
The question that I have for you is, are these things really accurate in
Geneaology.
My reason for asking is that throughout history there has been "hanky
panky" and I don't hardly think that my family has lived for 10 generations
without there having been a few bastard children.
Was my ggf really my ggf?

What does "due" mean? As in -
"The title of due d'Alencon was given to Ferdinand of Orleans, son of the due
de Nemours."
The literal translation of "due" can be "had', but that doesn't make sense to
me in the
context above.
The question is asked because I found a "Due SIMONS" in the 1790 census that
I
haven't been able to place with a particular SIMONS line. Of course, Due
could

The easiest way is to contact London Family History Center, after you figure
which district in London they died in. See -
http://www.westminster.gov.uk/libraries/gateway/familyhist.cfm
They will have indices, assuming you know date and place.

Another option for acquiring wills from England is to get them on-line
from the PRO; pre-1858 wills are now searchable (free) and downloadable
(a small fee through a standard secure-connection credit card payment
system) on-line at:

Dear All,
Never mind the hanky panky. It is a known fact in genealogy that it is
extremely difficult to 'prove' a genetic filiation from a certain individual 5
generations back in the 'middle classes' let alone in the 'Nobility'.
An example i gave some years ago when lecturing in France was that the head
of a branch of my family that has stayed in France was waxing lyrical about
his ancestry. I, the confirmed genealogist and purist piped up (without
thinking), 'did he know that his great great g
