Hello Hanne,

I'll try to translate a part of an article about the Fichier Wallon.
The Fichier Wallon was put together at the end of the 19th century. These
"Waalse fiches"
are a card collection of more than 2 million names of refugees from the
first and the second Refuge and their descendants.
The cards were copied from de Wallon churchbooks. It's for the era between
the end of the 16th century till 1811.
In the Netherlands we started a civil registration of births, weddings and
deaths at 1811. With thanks to Napoleon!
The material of the original fiches cannot be used. You have to use the
microfiches.
There is an index on the fiches. This gives the familyname and the
variations thereof. For instance L Écrivain became Lekkerwijn.
Laict-de-Boeurre became Ledeboer and Libraire became Liebeherr.
The fiches can be looked at the Central Bureau for Genealogie in the Hague.
Obviously you'll only find someone travelling through Holland in these
fiches, if they stayed long enough to register at a Wallon church.
If they did this in the timespan for the fiches, you'll be able to find
them.
