My ancestor Jean Briquet (Brickey/Bricou) was from Artois, France and came to So Carolina in 1690 the became the Clerk in St. Marys Co. Maryland. His descendants migrated to Botetourt Co, Virginia and to Jefferson County, Missouri
1640- 1900

Does anyone know anything about the Lucadou's

The family I am interesting in is Le Plastrier. They started in France and ended up in England, Holland and Australia. I have the tree in the database, thanks to the original work of a distant cousin-in-law. However, it is a few years old. I would love to be in contact with other family mebers to share the information and to update the information.
Cheers

My Mother's maiden name was Lucadou-Wells. I, along with some people in England are trying to trace the family tree. It seems that the original name was Lucadou and they changed their name to Wells in the late 1700s. Later they combined the two to Lucadou-Wells. Does anyone know if this was a common event at that time. I am guessing it was the time of the English - France wars and anyone living in England might have been unpopular if they had a French name so hence the change. Guessing though.

My Huguenots are Angevine, Giraud (Gerow), Coutant, Guion, Sicard (Secord/Seacord).

FREE RESEARCH OFFER -
For The French Genealogy Blog, I am going to visit the departmental archives of Dordogne. It is more interesting to be doing real research. If anyone has names and dates of birth for ancestors from Dordogne, please send them to me NOW (I leave next week) and I will research them for you. I will also describe the research and use what I find in the blog.

Please pass this on to others who may be interested.

Thank you
Anne

Hi Anne. That is a very generous offer and I would be very grateful if you could look up Lucadou or similar spellings like Lucadon, Lookadoo, Luckado, and Lucado.Unfortunately I can't give you any dates so it might be impractical.

My maternal grandmother was a Mallalieu.

Hi. I just love this site. My ancestors are Bouchillon / Guillebeau. They are part of the last Hugenots that settled in Abbeville, SC. I'm a member of the DAR through a different ancestor. When I tried to submit my application through these ancestors, the records have a flag indicating that lineage needs to be documented. It seems there has been some conflicting information at two points and I would like to try and resolve it -- one way or another. I have the referenced documents and I can understand the concerns, but like any good genealogist -- I want to solve the puzzle. Any assistance/guidance/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

My ancestor is Hannah Albert (b. 15 Aug 1811, d. 25 Sep 1887), buried Klopps Cem., Hamlin, Lebanon, Co, PA, wife of John Gerhard (Gerhardt, Gerhart). She may be a descendant of Franz Albert, Huguenot immigrant, native of Duex-ponts, France, who was killed by Indians June 26, 1756 in Bethel Twp, Lebanon Co. (See F. A. Davis, 1875 Atlas of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, page 10 at col. 3)

My Gerhart name may be derived from Gerard. Church records from Langenselbold, Hessen, about 1715, spell the family name with an "h" but an older record shows it spelled GERART, and one early family genealogist hypothesized that the family was Hugenot.

My Huguenots are DeCoursey.

Family folk lore states that the Posse(e) family are huguenots. Would love to know if anyone has come across any in their genealogical travels!

I have a family Minney, who I have suspected may have possibly been Hugenots, how do you go about finding out?

My Huguenot names are ATTANVILLE, BENTOTE, BOURDEAUX, FULLER, HACH - they went to the London, England area.

Possible Huguenot name ENOUY
As a child growing up I was told that my ancestors were Huguenots. My maiden name was Enouy. I have discovered most of my ancestors to date living in England around London. But recently I have discovered a few death records in Germany.

My father is Piere Marian-Szekula born November 22, 1931. He claims to have arrived in Canada in 1953. He claims to have been in Spain, prior to his arrival, attending the university of Madrid. I say claim only because he is very tight lipped about details, and recognises very quikly what we are up to with our vague questions. Does anybody recognise the name?

Evidently I am illiterate, I am sorry about the spelling on the last post.

Hi! I'm new to this website and was thrilled to see a Huguenots section. My 6xgreat-grandmother was supposed to have been a Huguenot. They know this from cemetery records. After researching I have found that her father was supposedly Jean Petite of Baignoux. Then of course when they came to America they made a mistake and made his last name Baignoux. I don't know if this is true or not. My great-grandmother used the name Elizabeth Baignoux and of course that too became "Americanized" on some records and was recorded as Benue. This makes researching the family line very difficult.

Are the rest of you having any luck searching out your Huguenot lines?
