The Niquette Family Archives

I have long been interested in my family roots. Some years ago I traveled to a small town in France (Saint Jean d'Angely, Saintes, Saintonge) from which my people emigrated to the New World in 1640. I assumed that Michel Niquet (1620-1666) was a French Huguenot fleeing persecution. Instead, I found that he left a Catholic village (the abbey and cathedral dating to his life time were still standing). Only then did it dawn on me that he first settled in Quebec, another Catholic stronghold. I don't know why he left France, and still don't, but was intrigued by the mystery. By chance I discovered Ron Niquette (Rising Moon Genealogical Services). Our data complemented each others and Ron gave me a fairly complete Niquette genealogy going back to A.D. 800s. Since then I have pressed family members to allow me to be the "keeper of the family records." This family web site is a labor of love and is intended to share with all of whom I share roots. If errors are detected, please let me know. Moreover, if any of you have letters, documents, other photographs that may complement the site, I am very much interested in seeing what you have.

Thank you,
