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 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.
