Claude Martin’s research
Claude Martin was a point of reference for the descendants of the emigrant families Saffin, Dutilh, Darné and Cobet. From the 1960s onwards, they came to meet him, from Vienna, London, Frankfurt, Mauritius, Rotterdam or Philadelphia. He received them in his houses at La Pause, then at Cambes, and kept up a regular correspondence with them. [A]
The panel does not specify which city the descendants of the Saffin family came from.
Claude Martin and the Huguenot descendants From Clairac to the world
What the research lab found
Lineage not established. Claude Martin counts the Saffins among the families whose descendants came to meet him; no public lineage has been found. A Jacques Saffin was active in Amsterdam (1704, 1709) among merchants from Clairac, but no record says he was from Clairac.
