The Claude Martin laboratory

The networks of departure

Who left with whom, and where to? By cross-checking the marriages, godparents, witnesses and convoys recorded by Claude Martin and found by the research lab, family routes emerge: from Clairac to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Dublin or London.

Diagram

The families and their links

Each dot is a Clairac family; each line, a document linking two families. Families are grouped around the city where they have the most links. Choose a destination, or a family to read its links.

The networks, country by country, with Claude Martin’s figures and each country’s archives and societies: Germany, Netherlands, England and Ireland.

The bridgeheads

A few families connect all the others. In Rotterdam, the pastor Jean de Loches, his wife Suzanne de Broc and Germaine de Loches are witnesses for about ten Clairac families between 1690 and 1713. In Dublin, the merchants Pierre Pineau and Pierre Denis, naturalised on the same day in 1699, act as witnesses and godparents from one marriage or baptism to the next. In Amsterdam, the merchants Boué and Barbe, cousins and partners, are there from the 1680s; the pastor Philipot, “formerly of Clairac”, signs there in 1686 the testimonial of a pewterer from Clairac on his way to Frankfurt. Most linked families: Brustis (10), Loches (8), Mérignac (6), Denis (6), Pineau (6), Cazaux (5).

Timeline

First mention, in these links, of Clairac families brought together by the same document, city by city. It is not the date of their arrival, which is often earlier.

What we observe. The people of Clairac did not leave alone: in Frankfurt, Claude Martin recorded them in small groups of three to five, coming from Lausanne and leaving together for Holland. Once settled, they chose one another as witnesses and godparents, around a pastor in Rotterdam and a few merchants in Dublin and Amsterdam. In Rotterdam, people from Clairac were still marrying each other in 1747, 1754 and 1760: the ties lasted more than half a century.

Method

  • Link: two families from Clairac, or from neighbouring parishes within its jurisdiction, named in the same document — marriage, baptism (godparent, witness), will, business deed, relief register in which they arrive or leave together.
  • Family: a surname, not a person. Two people with the same name are never merged: the link is described with their first names.
  • Status: that of the weakest link. Confirmed: the document names both people and their origin; probable: one of the two identities is inferred; hypothesis: only the name connects them.
  • Sources: Claude Martin’s records (Frankfurt registers, deeds of the Clairac notaries, Dublin and London registers) and the research lab’s records, which cite each register consulted.
  • Left aside: links in which only one of the two people is said to be from Clairac, and connections the research lab keeps in reserve for lack of proof.

Limits

  • A network only appears where registers have been recorded: Frankfurt, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Dublin and London are well represented; Germany, Switzerland and America hardly at all.
  • Many baptisms are known only from indexes; not all the scans have been read.
  • No ship shared by two families has been found.
  • Neighbourhoods (same street, same house) are rare in the records read: only the Balgueries and their fathers-in-law share a street in Amsterdam.
