  • french help please

    i have an entry pertaining to an ancestor on geneanet, this is the name of the collection:

    "Registre des entrées de Nouvelles Catholiques : 1704 à 1792
    Cette communauté qui s'installa à Rouen en 1667 avait pour but de travailler à l'instruction de filles de la religion réformée."

    "Register of Catholic News entries: 1704 to 1792
    This community, which settled in Rouen in 1667, aimed to educate girls of the Reformed religion."

    the entry has 10 lines, is dated 1721, and appears to be the date of entrance to this school? stating the name of the girl, her age, native place and parent's names. it then states she left in 1723.

    based off the title, is this a school that educates protestant girls in catholicism? or other sects of catholics to the mainstream? i never got the impression this family were protestant. and she is the only daughter of four mentioned in this collection.

    i can't find any information on this, asides from the one entry. does this mean she went to rouen? or there was one in paris too?

    any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this helps

    This book is the first modern study to examine the history of a single French community over the full course of the civil wars (1560-1600), and its account of local developments is enriched by frequent comparisons with events and conditions elsewhere in the country. An introductory chapter describes Rouen's economy, social structure and political institutions on the eve of the Wars of Religion. Successive chapters explore the rise and decline of Protestantism; the sociology of the faith; the causes and chronology of the popular violence which began to disturb the city after 1560; the roots of the militant Catholic movement of the Holy League; and the first signs of a renewal of Catholic religious life visible amid the agitation of the League. A concluding chapter seeks to show that many of the patterns visible in Rouen's history were also characteristic of communities throughout France, pointing the way to a reinterpretation of the Wars in which the actions and experience of the great mass of the population are given attention equal to that traditionally accorded to court elites and noble factions. The book will interest specialists in early modern history and particularly in the social, ecclesiastical, economic, demographic and political history of France in this period.


    I googled reformed religion education and came up with Calvinism and then added Rouen, it's a bit before the time you want but wondered if it would lead to something else

      Thanks, it is quite interesting. The entry only mentions the mother's name in accordance with the school, as the father had died about 1719. The child is the eldest too, so it's just annoying this a tiny snippet with no context. To be honest though, this is what it's like researching parisian ancestors.
