London and Middlesex / Re: Fleurriet - Spitalfields/Bethnal Green
« on: Monday 11 February 19 22:31 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Steve, Richard and Emmeline,

I realize this post is some years old now, are you all still researching the Fleurriets? I am also from the Pierre Fleurriet and Rachel Le Heupe family. Their son Pierre/Peter (Jean/John's brother) married Esther Atwell and they were my 6th great grandparents. In my tree, Pierre and Jean's other siblings are Marthe, David and Anne. It seems to me that if the first daughter was named Marthe, there's a great chance that Pierre Sr's mother was in fact Marthe le Grand. Has anyone found proof of this?

I'm also curious if anyone has done research on the Le Heupe family? I've found sources online that list the Fleurriet/Fleuriet/Fleuriot and Le Heupe surnames as Huguenots in Spitalfields. In Pierre's Will, there was listed an Edward Le Heupe; I wonder if this was Rachel's brother? I have also seen suggestions that a David Leheup was Rachel's father, which could make sense, being that Pierre and Rachel's first son was named David. But I haven't seen any solid evidence of this.

I'm eager to learn any info beyond what I have for Pierre and Rachel, so any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Courtney

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Dis- and advantages of adding a tree to DNA results

I vote for A, and I'll give you an example of why. Like many others, I've hit brick walls in my research a few times, and surname searches within my dna relatives have been very helpful. Most recently, I got stuck on my 5th great grandfather. I did a surname search within my dna relatives, and one particular lineage of that name appeared in several trees. I was able to use that information to work backwards, and eventually made a connection to my 5th great grandfather. I was able to add 4 more generations to my tree. Also, I'll say that I've had pretty good luck when it comes to contacting people with trees. More often than not, I'm able to help their progress as much as they help mine. I say give and you shall receive! :-)
