 Page 256. The Olivier family has a distinct Huguenot pedigree, but whether any of its members were refugees, I am not informed.

Page 256. The family of Petit sprang from the Norman family of Petit des Etans.

Page 256. The Porcher family descended from the Comtes de Richebourg.

Page 256. The Portal family is of noble Albigensian and Huguenot descent. See Chapter XVI.

Page 257. The Roumieu family is also of Albigensian and Huguenot descent. The name was originally spelt Romieu. Among the Naturalizations, List XIV., I have copied the name as Roumie: probably I should have decyphered it “Romiue,” (the clerk’s mistake for “Romieu.”)

The Rev. John Joseph Roumieu has sent me the following corrections and additional facts. The great Romieu was Romieu de Villeneuve, and his family became extinct in the third or fourth generation after him; he was Prime Minister to Raymond Berenger, Comte de Provence (not to the Comte de Toulouse, who was at war with the Comte de Provence, until Romieu obtained an honourable and advantageous peace). As to the refugee (whose ancestor was probably Garcias Romei, or Romieu, 1112), he had three sons (names unknown); John, the architect, was a son of one of these, and therefore the refugee’s grandson.

John Roumieu, architect.

Page 158. The Tahourdin family springs from a refugee of Anjou, who was naturalized in in 1687. See List XIII.

Page 258. The refugee family bearing the surname of Vignoles springs from one of the noblesse of Languedoc, Vignoles, Sieur de Prades. In connection with this important group of families, in consequence of their marriages, for many of which I found room, the following names occur:—
