How about Huguenots?

[Maggie.]

Hi again yn9man,

I understand what you mean as I am also on a learning curve with the Huguenots.  If it would help, if you could let me have your potential Huguenot name, either here or in a PM, whilst I am looking at the volumes for my people I could watch out for yours 

As I said, there is no index so there is no quick way but I can keep my eyes open for any mention.

The best of luck in your hunting.

Regards,
Maggie

I have Huguenot ancestors: Noquet, Poulain, Silk, Nials, among others.  I would like a separate section too.

Hi Maggie,

My learning curve is what one would say "extremely steep". 

The surname I am interested in for the possible Huguenot is JORY. I have also have seen it spelled other ways such as JORRY, JORIAY, JURRA, JURY.

Thanks for "hunting" for me.        

Regards,

yn9man

Hi yn9man,

I cannot promise it will happen quickly but I will watch out for any mention of JORY and alternatives.

MrsLizzy - Would you like me to keep an eye open for your names also?   As I said in an earlier post, there is no name index so it's a case of wading through it all starting with page 1, volume 1, but as long as you are not in any rush I am very happy to look    .

Regards,
Maggie

Hi maggie -

Keep forgetting to mention what a great looking dog you have in your avatar.

My Dad believes (thinks) that the original spelling of Jory was probably JORET. When pressed for reasons he remembers his grandmother mentioning the family name but doesn't have any specifics.

Thanks again for "watching out" for the Jory surname and various spellings.

Hi yn9man,

I have passed on your lovely compliment to Kallie and she says thanks so much  .  Like I say under her pic - she knows HER roots back to the 'n^th' generation!

If I get chance this evening I am going to attack volume 1 of the Huguenots - probably more interesting than the telly - so keep your fingers crossed that I find lots of useful references to the          Jor(y)(et) and Sim(m)on(e)(a)(i)t(t)(e) names

Thanks Maggie that would be lovely!  Give Kallie lots of kisses from me, won't you?  My mum has a collie named Callie - after an online friend of mine in Florida who does a lot of dog fostering and became our Callie's sort of godmother - or should I say "dog" mother??

Hi yn9man & MrsLizzy,

Here is an update on the Huguenot Hunting 

I have gone through Volumes 1-6 and so far and yn9man, I am sad to report that I have not come across any mention of JORY or any of the derivatives.  Perhaps I will have more success in Vols. 7-10 

MrsLizzy - I have had a bit more success with Poulain, Noquet and possibly NAILS and I will send you the details in a PM.

Regards,
Maggie
