Summary
An article published on the Saturday of the gathering. It presents the “cousinade” (cousins’ reunion) of the descendants of Moïse Dutilh, a tailor in Clairac in the 17th century, organised on the initiative of Chris Dutilh; it traces the family’s history — Protestant merchants on the banks of the Lot, then exile after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) to Holland, England and America — and announces the weekend’s programme: a plaque on the ancestral house, a reception at the town hall, a service at the Protestant church.
Why this document matters
It presents Claude Martin and Clair Morizet as the “two local historians” who helped Chris Dutilh in his genealogical research, together with the departmental archives. It complements the article of 20 July, which gives Claude Martin more prominence: each is cited with its source.
Read with caution
- Number of descendants gathered: 66 according to this article, “about sixty” according to Sud Ouest of 20 July 2017, 70 according to the Société des amis de Clairac (May 2018) — the sources differ.
