Everyone,

Belatedly joining the discussion about Series TT, the following description
on the site of the National Archives of France may be helpful:
_http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/chan/chan/fonds/edi/sa/tt.htm_
(http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/chan/chan/fonds/edi/sa/tt.htm)

I have the book by Gildas Bernard (Les Familles Protestantes en France. XVIe
siecle-1792. Guide des recherches biographiques et genealogiques, Paris,
1987, 704pp) that is mentioned at the beginning of the description. It is
arranged geographically by the "department" of France, and then by what material
is in which repository; if material from a particular region is included in
Series TT, the specific reference is under the "Paris. Archives nationales"
heading.

When I was last in Paris (Sept. 2002) and at the Archives Nationales, I
looked at some finding aids for Series TT in one of the reading rooms, but not at
the documents themselves.
A section I transcribed from a finding aid indicates that during their
occupation of France in 1940-1944, the Germans took the Series back to Germany for
microfilming and researching the origins of German families who had
originally been Protestant refugees from France. This information is repeated in the
title details of the LDS films, which appear to be copies of the films made
by the Germans. It should also be noted that the LDS films are only Serie TT
230-276B, whereas the full Serie TT is 1-464, according to the description
at the above link. 230-276B seem to be one of several indexes to the
material, but it is not everything.

So, Tony, you probably will need to do some scouting after all when you are
in Paris! I will be there at the end of the month, but unfortunately will be
doing research only for work.

Regards,
