Both of Hermine's parents had
French names: FOUQUET
und MAILLEFERT, even though the family was living in German countries for
almost 200 years. I was surprised when I first read that. I didn't know
anything about the Huguenots and their colonies in the Uckermark. In order
to keep the original privilege from 1691it was important to marry within
the colony. So until about 1800 marriages with Germans were more the
exception, specially in a larger colony such as Strasburg. They also
picked spouses among the colonist from Prenzlau, Bergholz and Battin.
