Was that key you showed the real key? I hope not. I have the vid paused on a frame where I could copy it with a file. Anyone with an interest in lockpicking can now copy that key. Tell me you knew that and used a stunt key for the vid, please. If not, all they need to do is get their locks changed. Not a massive deal but let them know.

❤Thank You! I am a descendant and my ancestor lost his parents to the French Revolutionaries. He became a British Officer and was sent to the Colonies in New York. He took his little sister with him and they apparently stayed on with the Colonists after the Revolution. His house is still standing after some loving restoration!🎉

how's the timeframe work on that one the US revolution was 1776, the French Revolution 1789 So if he lost his parents to the French Revolutionaries, how could he could go to British colonies in new York, which no longer existed Unless what you mean is he left France prior to US revolution , say 1774 went to New York as a British officer and lost his parents 15 odd years later when the French revolution occured

When I moved to London in 1974 they were still demolishing everywhere ! I went to college next to convent garden and everyday something was demolished. I remember a little street of artisan run shops, leather workers, jewellerys etc, all gone. I moved to Paris after college in 1978 and again they were demolishing, the Marais was a prime target but luckilly a lot owas saved, some very old and historic mansions!

Some Huguenots fled to what is now the United States. The city of New Rochelle, New York was named in honor of a former Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle. There is a village in upstate New York named New Paltz where they have a street named Huguenot Street where they have historical stone buildings . However in the USA, I had never heard the letter “T” pronounced in the word Huguenot and I thought that maybe because the word is mostly pluralized so that would mean that the letter “T” is not the last letter so it would be pronounced.

Im half swiss, and my family originates from french huegenots. ( Huegenots were persecuted for being protestants and brought a lot of skills with them which other countries didnt have.) A lot of these people settled and established in Switzerland , (notice the reference to clock making,) or over time emigrated to other countries such as USA . All because of lack of tolerance- you lose valuable people...
