I have drawn a blank with a surname in the London area before 1650 and am wondering if there could be a hugenot connection. The English spelling of the surname is swasey or swasie. Ancestry has a French spelling of swesye in the 1400's. Can anyone help please as I have no idea where to trace hugenot records. Thanks

Welcome to Rootschat
All I can think of is the Hugenot Society in London
http://www.huguenotsociety.org.uk/family/
They do have a family history section but it does cost £10 a day for non members to search there.
Perhaps some kind person there can tell you if that surname is of Hugenot origin.
I am sure you will have other answers shortly
Good Luck, Tricia

Hi
I thought I might have had a hugenot connection also. I e-mailed someone at the hugenot website mentioned on Tricia's post and was pleasantly surprised by a reply several days later. It concluded I was not from their stock (and cost me nothing).

Hi Branch
The information I am referring to is the postings listed above.
If you click on the link I gave you it will take you to the Hugenot site. Then do as John suggested - either Email them or ring them and ask if that surname is of Hugenot origin.

no info received Hello Branch The post by Tricia is quite comprehensive re Huguenot Check this link out also related to the same site [http://www.etude-philippon.com/english/content.htm/quote] My Family on my mothers side also came from France. but were not Hugeunots. They came to England one year before the French Revolutionwhen France became a Republic and the rift between the Protestants & Catholics became more tolerable. Our sites under the able administration of my cousin "Salford lass" are attached in case anyone is interested . http://www1.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=chimleys&rand=90423503http://delaunays.aceboard.com/index.php?login=308914Kind Regards Happy New Year Raphael UK & Germany |
