After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1688, many French Huguenot
(Protestant) families emigrated from France. Some went to Brandenburg, which
later became part of Prussia, and settled in the Uekermark, north east of
Berlin. The following ancestral list for Emma Muriel DECKER shows some of 
these families - is anyone else researching any of these lines in the 
Ueckermark?
