Thank you for all that time you spent, I appreciate it.  I do have from  us back to 1665, but he was born in Virginia, & can't seem to get past there. I was just surprised  to find that reference to French-Huguenots, & curious about the name. I'm 74 years old, and don't know a lot about deep research, so thank you for your suggestions.

I would suggest that you need to look at the immigration records for the period and also contact the Huguenot Society of America to see whether the family is on their 'approved' list or whether they know anything about the family. Also the Virginia Historical Society may be able to help you. Tony F Dordogne (24) Huguenot Trails    Report

Know it well thanks Wen, was there for the latest re-opening and helped raised funds for the memorial there.  Last time I was in Dublin lecturing on Huguenots I even bumped into the guy who was project manager of the clearance and remodelling of the cemetery - he was driving my taxi!

I was recently told it come from Huguenot- my forebears emigrated to the Swiss Jura. the confusing bit is that they are now staunch catholics- a fact which created so much unrest when my parents got married, as mum was a divorced protestant!!! If the Gogniat were Huguenots, perhaps they decided to become catholics at a later stage to 'fit in and get on', as the Jura is a catholic Canton. ??? Would be very interested to hear what you think.
