  Marriage Notes:

I was married in Roubaix, Lille, France. My wife and I were Walloons, a race of people that originally were nomadic that settled in France, the Alps and the Danubian Valley. The Romans during Caesar's day called us the Belgae. Our ancestors were known as warlike people who were vigorous to the point of being considered rude. We were often at war with the Gauls, Cimbri, Romans and Franks. We were made of stubborn stock retaining our identity, culture and land boundaries. Walloons were considered good-looking, strongly built, brunet skin color and dark haired. The Walloon land boundaries were tne northeastern part of France and the southwestern part of Belgium. Our people spoke a French dialect. Roubaix became a stronghold of the reformation. The Prince's of France and Spain not only warred over the control of our land; we also warred over what “religion” would be taught in our lands. We accepted the gospel teachings of the Reformed Church, thus earning the name Huguenots by the Catholic leadership. .
