Des réfugiés huguenots provençaux en Afrique du Sud

Parmi les navires qui ont conduit les réfugiés huguenots en Afrique du Sud au départ des Pays Bas, j’en ai retenu deux, qui transportaient des protestants provençaux. Il s’agit du Berg China et du Wapen van Alkmaar. Voici les listes de passagers de ces deux navires.

God Bless the Good Ship China

On 20 March 1688 a Dutch ship of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie set sail from Goeree in Suid Holland. On board were a number of passengers in three groups. The first group consisted of eight young Dutch orphan girls on their way to the southern tip of Africa where they were destined to become the wives of anxious young men. The second group consisted of just two passengers. There was nothing out of the ordinary about them. They were merely regular passengers as one might find on any VOC ship of the time. Our story is about the third group of 28 individuals. This event at once marked for them the end of an epic flight from oppression and the beginning of an even greater journey that some would not survive.

Having studied the Huguenot families from the Luberon region of Provence in France over the past few years, the author has found that there is a fundamental flaw in the popular picture of the progenitors of the Jordaan family in South Africa. The present work seeks to address this matter and to correct the genealogical structure of the two very distinct early Jourdan families in South Africa. The original work by De Villiers and Pama incorrectly assigned some of the children and omitted one Pierre Jourdan. This error has now permeated throughout the South African genealogical community and has assumed the stature of a truth. In the process the erroneous structure also married cousins to one another, whereas, in reality, the two spouses were quite unrelated. The real story is far more interesting.
