The Common Room / Re: Huguenot or not Huguenot
« on: Monday 03 June 13 08:56 BST (UK)  »
Hallo, gingertrixy. I am considering getting the HugSoc CD for the Canterbury Huguenots - I take it that you found it useful. And I also have Sedt (Corneille and his 10 children) in my direct ancestral line, so would be interested in a private discussion about the descent from Sedt through Despaigne, Messman, Ranshall, Wrench, White, Wilson to Millo, and, of course, about the lineage further back from Corneille himself.
For origins of Protestants in Northern France I strongly recommend the Jean-Paul & Chantal free website, which you can find at: http://www.roelly.org/~pro_picards/prop/index.html - let me know if you need any help with it.

The Common Room / Re: How to handle change of County Boundaries when recording Locations?
« on: Monday 03 June 13 08:41 BST (UK)  »
I think that the name of the location as it was at the time of the event being recorded is the safest - it is the only reference that is static, as today's name for that location might change tomorrow. (Ref: Rutland became part of Leics, then back to Rutland again.) Widening the scope to countries, I was a bit concerned to find that my 10g-grandfather, Corneille Sedt, is mentioned somewhere as having been born in Belgium in 1560. Belgium? 1560?

The Jean-Paul & Chantal Rœlly website is an excellent free reference for northern French Protestants, especially émigrés in the 1600s. The site has a good index, which currently shows 52 Hagombart entries, starting at this address: http://www.roelly.org/~pro_picards/prop/ix48n0.html#20903

Access to the Huguenot Society publications is freely available it various places across this country - I used to use the one in Westminster when I started out on my quest, but I cannot now recall the address!
