It is interesting reading about the pirate Salee and descendants.

Oops, in looking at the Huguenot Society page, my other 'qualifying' family is that of Teunis de Nyse.

My Huguenot family is the Praa/Praat/Prat family, beginning with Pierre who married Marie Phillipe in 1642 in Leiden, Holland. They were from Dieppe, France. It looks like there are many Huguenot societies, libraries, etc., but I don't know where to start in researching them back further to France. For those whose Huguenot families went to the Netherlands, I've found this site helpful:

Digitale Stamboom searches seven Archives in the Netherlands in one search portal.

I am wondering more about my French Huguenot connections. I still am not completely sure that this is my ancestor, but for now this is what I have. He is Jacques Lacaze, arrived in Virginia in 1701, aboard the Nassau. His name was anglicized to be James Casse/James Keesee. I did find where he was possibly born in Nare, Guienne. Any one else researching James I'd be glad to hear from you. I am also interested in the towns and regions that the Huguenots came from. I understand that many were in England/Ireland many years before they arrived in America. I have no idea if James had lived anywhere else other than France, and am a little overwhelmed trying to figure out how to research that.

I've not been able to trace back to France, although my great maternal uncle researched this, but without stating any detailed sources, and his research is a bit questionable in some areas. He claims, and I think rightly so, that his family came from around Lyon originally. Their German name was Masseling, and the Dutch version was Masselink. My father's side had no permanent surname until 1811. But both sides are strong Calvinists from way back, indicating a Huguenot connection. I've traced my paternal side to around 1730, and my maternal side with a permanent surname (German/Dutch) to 1660. I suspect they arrived in Germany and the Netherlands in the mid1600s.

My question is this: How does one trace back from Germany and the Netherlands (two prime Huguenot refuges) to France?

My Huguenot ancestor is Jinny Sallee, daughter of John, who married William P. Jackson in early Jessamine County, Kentucky. I would like to find John's parents.

My ancestors were Beasors (spelling varies eg Bezer, Beza). I believe that the origin of this name is French and may be Huguenot. I have traced them back to London (Shadwell) and there maybe a Norwich connection.

The following is a link to an information leaflet in the London Metropolitan Archives which may be of some interest to people.

In case it does not work this one should then look for the Huguenot Society of London on the list

My Huguenot surnames are from the Henrico settlement in Virginia: SALLEE, GIVAUDAN/JIVIDEN, PERRAULT/PERROW/PERRO, CHASTAIN, MARTIN

I also have Huguenots in New Amsterdam after several generations in the Netherlands. My dad is primarily researching that line: RAPALJE (RAPALIETTE), COZINE, DES MARETS/DEMAREST, TRICAULT/TRICO
