OK, here is an interesting thought...
I was talking to another Angland cousin today (he would be my mother's first cousin). His mother Honera Angland did alot of research back in the day - athough it sounds like he has not inherited these documents... one really interesting segment of the conversation he was telling me how he went to Ireland many years ago and met with some of the Anglands - it was worked out at the time that these Irish Anglands were indeed relatives. They were able to tell him it is their understanding the Angland family emigrated to Ireland from France, and that in France their name was Angleterre. He also told me that the Angleterre family were Hugenoughts. (which is probably the reason the left France and came to Ireland). I understand the Hugenoughts were not well liked in France but that is about all I know of them... who exactly were the Hugenoughts? does anyone know? Was being a Hugenought a religous thing? an ethinc thing? was it some kind of family dynasty? my knowledge of this group of historical people is sadly lacking!!!
It would explain why there alot of French family names like Daniel, Danielle, and Michael..... Anyone else have any thoughts???
