Ann Guis
« on: Friday 17 August 18 00:06 BST (UK) »
hello

I have just found that my 7 ggrandparents were French...

Guessed it was heading that way as I was in Padstow and St Merryn -


So very exciting to discover this and to now wonder and search in a beautiful country.



All I have so far is the marriage of Thomas Michel and Ann Guis:  13th April 1688 - Saint - Zacharie - Var --

Oise France.


So where do I go to find more.. I needed a spark  - so this is it.
  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello,
could you tell us more about them (where did you get the info concerning the marriage , what is Oise for in your message ...)
I found no marriage Michel/Guis in Saint Zacharie (Var département), around 1688.

Hello :)

I wish I knew more.   I have had Mary Michel in my tree for some time, and decided to attempt to go back a little further with her.   Now that Cornish OP is available on line.

So checked out what they had and it came up with the attached.    Then I searched Ancestry and came up with the marriage.

Which totally fit with the dates - but of course -- have No Idea - that it is correct.
Oise - is just the name on the Ancestry document.

I have no other clue :)  so what do you reckon.  I need to go to VAR  (ha ha )



So jumping the gun in my excitement.. whilst still perusing all avenues..

I checked for more children in Cornwall and haven't found any, but it seems Thomas will have died around 1710 so -- not sure.

I also checked the French 'Var' region but not sure how to go about searching in France.   :(

You say you can find nothing


oh well it was an interesting possibility...

It could explain why the marriage is not found in the catholic registers of Saint Zacharie

Why don't you click and see the record of the marriage ?
