Subject: CAPON -- Channel Islands

Dear Listers

I am new to this list.

I have been told that the surname* CAPON *which I am researching is of French Huguenot descent.

Although I can find a great deal of Huguenot History it does not connect with the family stories

of the *Capon*'s immigrating via the Channel Islands. I have learned that in 1548

Large groups of French Huguenots began escaping to Channel Island, but I do not have any personal

research before *Henry and Elizabeth Capon* whom I found living in Downham, Norfolk in 1795.

Any assistance would be appreciated.
