Hallo,
anytime in the 16th to 18th centuries, if you find in a family the first names
Sara, Judith, Susanna
combined with
Jacob/Jacques, Isaac, Abraham,

you can be quite sure that they were calvinists. But they may come from France
or!! from Switzerland - e.g. canton de Neufchtel or Geneva. (From Anna, Maria
you can deduce nothing).

Kind regards
Wolfgang
