According to Agnew's Third Volume of the French Protestant Exiles from France (London: Reeves and Turner, 1874), the family Ferdant settled in UK and Ireland during the reign of Louis XIV (1643-1714). My 5XGreat-grandmother was a Marie Ferdant married in Guernsey, channel islands c.1740. Guernsey could easily have been a stopping-off place between France and England. Perhaps the family stayed? Does anyone know of any good resources where I can track the history of the family? I have so far come up completely blank. I know her father was born in France and his name was Jean. There seem to be Feuardents in Grosville, but that is as much as I know. Any help hugely appreciated!
