Hi John

Better to describe the relief as from the English monarchy as it came from
kings and queens alike but more importantly from taxes and impositions
through the Anglican Church. It's usually called the Royal Bounty by the
way and that's the name it's archived under.

The original records are in the Huguenot Library in London but under the new
policy there, because they are archival documents you are unlikely to get
access to them as they are also on microfiche which should be the first
place to look.

But, the only index for the list was prepared at the University of Toulouse
some years ago and that is also in the Library so you should be able to find
the name that you are looking for quite easily and then cross reference to
the main microfiche. But the information in the index is so comprehensive
you should not need to look at the original documents as all references are
there. A knowledge of French is not required.

Which family/families are you interested in?

Regards

Tony Fuller
