There are records for Marennes at the Archives in La Rochelle
From memory I don't think they cover the 1680's

They may be the same as the ones available from the LDS see below

> Hi Dino

> Marennes had a Protestante Church prior to 1558 and it had closed by the
end of the 17th century. It was noted as existing at the time of the Edict
of Nantes and had two Pasteurs.
>
> At the time of the Concorde following the French Revolution/Napoleonic era
and again at the division of the Church from the State in 1905, Marennes
seems to have had the facility to appoint a Pasteur, authorised by 'la
Societe centrale d'evangelisation' which may have almost certainly have
meant a Temple, which would have been registered at both times as
Protestantisme in France is still called a 'culte'.
>
> The most recent Temple can be found at rue de la République 17320 Marennes
but they do not keep their records in the Church. The etats-civil are kept
now in the Archives/Marie as are the churches own records, should they
exist.
>
> However, as John V has said elsewhere today, many of the records of the
armies disappeared and it's the same with l'eglise Protestante, many of the
Protestante records have disappeared, even in strong Protestante areas.
I'll have a look to see whether they are available and I'll ring the
Archives to check.

> As for being on-line, unless a volunteer has bothered to do so or unless
somebody has published them, the chances of finding records on CDRom are
slim to nil. It's even virtually impossible to get the SHPF stuff on CD and
that's SUPPOSED to be readily available!
