Calvits -
Welcome Eric L�onard to the list. Eric is our French cousin I told you I
heard from.
Welcome, Eric! We look forward to working together.
Eric sent me a list of some French descendants of Pierre Calvet and Isabeau
Pages. I hope we can work that into our list.
Also of interest, Eric told me that most of the French descendants are
still Huguenots. " . . . a very small minority in today's France, below 1%
of French population, compared to 10% at its peak before the 'Revocation of
Edit de Nantes' in 1685 where most of them were obliged to leave France or
were forced to become Catholic."
