Protestant Nobility (Aristrocratic families) of France of the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries

For many years, historians, scholars, authors in France and in other countries of Europe have played down the role played by the elite Protestant families of France from the 16th to the 18th centuries. In many regions of France, Protestant seigneurs contributed to a stable and growing economy of their regions or ancient provinces of France. Unfortunately due to persecutions of Protestant families in France, many of these Protestant seigneurs simply left their native France and re-settled in many countries of the world.

The following pages are organized according to the ancient regions or provinces of France (the period prior to the French Revolution 1789-1799). I have reproduced URL addresses of online books and societies that address in part who were these Protestant seigneurs during the Old Regime of France.

Most of these texts are in the French language. They are superb works addressing the aristocratic families of France, both Catholics and Protestants.

But I did not forget the working class of France during these periods of time of the Old Regime. At the conclusion of each section, I have reproduced URL addresses of the most common family names within a particular département (modern-day state of France) and within an ancient province of France.

Researching Protestant families (Huguenots, Calvinists, members of the Église réformée de France) of France prior to the French Revolution is highly difficult or in some cases nearly impossible. The reasons are multiple, the primary reason being that many, if not most, Protestant Temples of France under the Old Regime were demolished and church registers, including acts of baptism and marriage.were destroyed by fire.

But you are willing to scrutinize in detail the content of the many URL addresses reproduced in the following pages and take the proper steps in order to solve the French language issue, you can find traces of your Huguenot ancestors.

You might not find an actual act of baptism or marriage, but if you are persistent, you may at least succeed in locating your family name in a commune of France.

One final suggestion: your current family name might not have the same spelling in the 16th, 17th, 18th centuries of France. A number of online family names search engines (Patronymes) in France will suggest alternatives to the spelling of your present time family name.

As they say in France among family lineage researchers: Bonne recherche or Bonne lecture

>> Artois #62 Pas de Calais & #59 Nord - Arras, being its capital, was located west of Flandre, north of Picardie, with its western region facing the North Atlantic, some 170 km north of Paris. The ancient land was formed in the 12th century, a region which was previously part of Flandre (Flanders). In 1223 the Crown of France would grant the region the title of French Domain. Over the next 450 years, regional principalities would challenge the various French Kings as to the ownership of the ancient province. Finally in 1678, the region was granted to France – Artois was unfortunately one of the major battlegrounds during World War One with such towns as Vimy, Souchez, Lorette and others. – The ancient province of Artois is now known as Pas-de-Calais, the latter was formed by regrouping the old dukedoms, counties and territories of Arras, Angles (Audruicq), Bourgeonval, Couture (Bertincourt), Enclaves d’Artois (Montreuil), Escrebien (Lens), Flavermont (Saint-Pol-sur- Ternoise), Saint-Pol, Arrouaise (Artois & Picardie), Carembault (Flandres & Artois) https://genealogyensemble.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/huguenot-families- in-france-1565-1721.pdf https://genealogyensemble.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/archives- dc3a9partementales-de-france-revision-2018-04-16.pdf http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/chan/chan/fonds/consistoire s-serie-tt.pdf https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1582585?collectionNameFil ter=false http://catalogue.bnf.fr/changerPage.do?motRecherche=&index=TOUS3&nu mNotice=13591055&nbResultParPage=10&afficheRegroup=false&affinageA ctif=false&pageEnCours=1&nbPage=14&trouveDansFiltre=NoticePUB&triR esultParPage=5&typeNotice=d http://books.openedition.org/pur/18106 https://www.museeprotestant.org/notice/le-protestantisme-dans-le-nord/ http://arras.catholique.fr/page-17453.html http://liensprotestants.over-blog.com/ http://temples.free.fr/ http://www.huguenots.fr/2010/09/les-protestants-de-picardie-au-xvie-siecle- sujet-d-une-exposition-a-noyon/ https://www.google.ca/search?q=Familles+de+la+bourgeoisie+anciennes+ de+l%27Artois&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjV9LH mgY3bAhWjzVkKHVQgCtAQsAQILA&biw=1178&bih=522 http://www.nordmag.fr/patrimoine/histoire_regionale/Histoire_Artois/Histoir e_Artois.htm https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%A9gorie:Famille_noble_de_Flandre_et _d%27Artois http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k58296092 http://www.persee.fr/doc/ahess_0395-2649_1951_num_6_3_1970 https://www.filae.com/v4/genealogie/Lastnames.mvc/LastnamesDepartmen tRank?departmentId=59 https://www.filae.com/v4/genealogie/Lastnames.mvc/LastnamesDepartmen tRank?departmentId=62 http://www.journaldesfemmes.com/nom-de-famille/noms/88/1/pas-de- calais.shtml http://www.journaldesfemmes.com/nom-de-famille/noms/85/1/nord.shtml

>> Aunis #17 Charente-Maritime - La Rochelle, being its capital, was located south of Poitou, west of Saintonge, north of Guyenne and its western region facing the Atlantic, some 450 km west of Paris. The ancient kingdom was united to France in 1271. From 1360 to 1371, England would occupy the region. The region would become the center of Protestantism in Western France, among the latter the Calvinism and Huguenot movements would flourish in the region, especially around the capital city of La Rochelle. From the late 1500’s to 1763, more than 319 different Huguenot families would move to New France, most of them would use the port of La Rochelle as the departure point for America. The Calvinist movement of Western France to New France appears to be much smaller in number. The ancient provinces of Aunis and Saintomge, the latter with its capital Saintes, were united prior to the French Revolution into one entity with one regional government.
