In fact a quick Internet search of ” Huguenots” brought up a Wikipedia article which had an old print of the massacre of The Waldenesians at Merindol! I would never have expected to find Waldensians coupled with Huguenots, but it appears on many pages beyond the sketchy Wiki article. I am going to inquire of my friend Sergio, who is cited in the article. He may have done research on his ancestry in Provence. When I hear from him I will send a message to your personal website. In the meantime, perhaps other readers may have information. Let’s see where it goes.

All best,
Elizabeth

My family is traced back to La Motte d’Aigues on the Luberon hillside.

History says the Joubert family (possibly) we placed in the village which had been wiped out by the plague in the 1600s. I would like to know whether we were also Vaudois origin? Where can I find out.

I have visited the area in 1998 and loved it!

Thank you.
Kenn.

I figured that was your territory since it’s near the area that you covered in your recent biking article. Thanks for adding that information.

Maps to la Roque’s “Waldensian Village” and “The Trail of Temples in the Luberon” may be downloaded from http://www.ville-laroquedantheron.fr – Nearby is the Abbaye de Silvacane (10th century) and the Agoult family chateau in Lourmarin.
