From Clairac to the world

People from Clairac in Germany

After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, Frankfurt was the great stopping place for refugees from Clairac: Claude Martin recorded 51 of them “given relief” in the relief registers of the French church, often arriving from Switzerland in small groups and leaving again for Holland or Brandenburg. Others settled in Kassel, Erlangen, Berlin, as far as Königsberg. [L] [G]

Claude Martin’s figures

In his list of emigrants [L]
32 “in Germany” (Claude Martin typed 33, then corrected it to 32) ; 51 “given relief in Frankfurt”
In his register extracts (G02, table of places, p. 7) [G]
104 people ; Frankfurt 73 times, Hamburg 6 times, Magdeburg 2 times, Kassel 2 times, Marburg 1 times, Offenbach 2 times, Hamelin 1 times, Landau 1 times, Erlangen 5 times, Neu-Isenburg 1 times, Königsberg 2 times, Berlin 1 times, Wilhelmsdorf 2 times, Gewissenruch 1 times, Schwabach 1 times, Westphalia 1 times

The two counts are not to be added together. The list places each emigrant under one destination; the extracts count the people Claude Martin found in registers, town by town, and the same person may appear in both. The figures are the ones he wrote.

The transcription has 79 lines classed under this country; a line is not always one person, and the differences from Claude Martin’s count are noted on the page of the list, not corrected.

The town figures in his table do not always match the lines of his extracts: the differences are documented with the transcription, never corrected. [G]

The families traced

Three leading families: the Pomarèdes, four refugees from Clairac given relief in Frankfurt, among them Gratien, who came from Kassel; Jean Vernejoul, who “left the kingdom” and very probably became a pastor of the Waldensian colonies in Germany; the Dutilhs, among them Daniel, a glover, who left Frankfurt for Kassel in 1686.

Records that place at least one confirmed or probable fact in this country. The badge gives the status of the whole record: a record classed as a hypothesis may contain a fact confirmed here.

21 lab records: 16 confirmed, 4 probable, 1 hypotheses (status of the whole record).

The lines link each place to Clairac; they do not represent routes, except those of Paul Brochequin and of Pierre Peiret, which starts in Gabre. Countries and regions named without a city: marker at the approximate centre. Off the map: 89 “not followed” lines, 2 with no destination and 1 “Indes Or.”. Lab: the number of families and of facts is given for each place; the exact number of people cannot be measured reliably. The list of emigrants names only European destinations; the “Studies by Claude Martin” and “Hypotheses” layers concern his work and unproven leads, not his list.

Outline of the country: present-day borders (Natural Earth, public domain), as a reference; at the time of the Refuge, the states and their borders were different.

  • Route of Paul Brochequin (from Clairac to Rotterdam, 1688-1705)

    Probable

    Who
    Paul Brochequin (Brouchequin, Brousseguin), tailor, of Clairac.
    Stages
    1. Clairac: departure, in 1688 at the latest.
    2. Geneva: 13 June 1688.
    3. Lausanne: certificate of 15 June 1688, cited by the Frankfurt register.
    4. La Neuveville: 23 June 1688 (certificate of 15 June).
    5. Schaffhausen: 23 June 1688.
    6. Frankfurt: 2 July 1688, given relief with Jean Pigos, a dyer, bound for Holland (original register; the 10 May 1688 in Claude Martin’s notes, G03, is probably a copying error).
    7. London: 1 March 1702, baptism of his son Charles (Leicester Fields church).
    8. Rotterdam: 25 October 1705, baptism of his daughter Ester; then of Marie, on 31 August 1707.
    What is established
    The departure, Lausanne and Frankfurt: Claude Martin recorded “Paul Brousseguin, tailleur, de Clairac” (tailor, of Clairac) in the Frankfurt register of 1688; the original register (Institut für Stadtgeschichte Frankfurt am Main, Französisch-reformierte Gemeinde 79, p. 41, document sent by Glenys Bolland) dates this relief to 2 July 1688 and cites a certificate from Lausanne of 15 June. The baptisms in London and Rotterdam are in published or indexed registers.
    To be checked
    Geneva, La Neuveville and Schaffhausen come from records of the Base de données du Refuge huguenot (Huguenot Refuge database) reported by Glenys, which we have not been able to re-read; that the Paul of London and Rotterdam is the one from Clairac is very probable, not proved.

The routes

Who left with whom? The page “The networks of departure” links the Clairac families through marriages, godparents, witnesses and convoys. Network for this country: Frankfurt (31 links).

Paul Brochequin, a tailor from Clairac, passed through this country: follow his journey stage by stage, from Clairac to Rotterdam.

A “Germany” of many states

Claude Martin groups under “Germany” towns that then belonged to several states; he includes Königsberg, in Prussia, today Kaliningrad, in Russia. The outline on the map is that of present-day Germany, as a reference. [G]

Archives and registers in the country

  • Institut für Stadtgeschichte Frankfurt am Main — the archives of the city of Frankfurt, with a family research guide and the Arcinsys database. Claude Martin examined the relief registers of the French Reformed church of Frankfurt; where they are kept today has yet to be confirmed. To be checked
  • Archiv der Französischen Kirche zu Berlin — at the Huguenot Museum in Berlin: parish registers and consistory minutes since 1672, which survived the bombing of 1944, and the records of other French Reformed parishes of Brandenburg.
  • ARCHION — digitised Protestant parish registers (paid access), including those of French Reformed parishes such as Magdeburg.
  • Archivportal-D — the national portal of German archives, to look for the records of a town or of a Huguenot colony.

Did you know?

  • A stopping place more than a refuge

    Frankfurt was first and foremost a place of relief: people from Clairac often arrived there from Lausanne in small groups of three to five, and left together for Holland. [G]

  • A pastor born in Clairac

    A directory of the pastors of the Waldensian colonies in Germany has an entry for a pastor born in Clairac whose parents stayed in France: very probably Jean Vernejoul, from Claude Martin’s list. His colony has yet to be identified (the lab record).

  • As far as Prussia

    Claude Martin’s extracts lead as far as Königsberg, in Prussia: Noé Balguerie arrived there from Amsterdam. [G] (the lab record)
