Introduction
This list is based largely on the book by Osvaldo Coisson, I Nomi di Famiglia delle Valli Valdesi (Torre Pellice, 1976). The catalog entry for this book in the Family History Library is here. Variations of surnames are given as in Coisson, including the use of parentheses (like this). The Coisson list is augmented by the list of German Waldensians extracted from the letters of Pieter Valkenier, "Register der Hugenottischen Geschichtsblatter (to access this material, click here. Valkenier spelling variations are set off by square brackets [like this].
At present, this list does not include Waldensian surnames in other areas, such as Provence, Sicily, Switzerland, etc., except as those same names also appear in the Valleys or in Germany.
It is crucial to realize that, until the 19th century, spelling was less structured than it is today. Pastors, notaries, and other record makers spelled names as they heard them. And some of the recordmakers were not fluent in the Waldensian dialect. In addition, the early surviving parish registers are in French, whereas the early surviving notarial records are in Italian; therefore, both French and Italian forms of surnames, with all their listed variations, should be checked.
For these reasons, effective research requires that you sound out the surname of interest to you and write down every single possible way of writing that name that you can think of. To the extent you can, apply what you know of the language of the family (French, German, Italian) and spell each pronunciation you can think of in that language, too.
- Check under all letters that sound similar to the first letter in the name. For example, the name Queyras is usually spelled Cairus; it would be necessary to check both C and Q.
- The letters "i" and "j" were frequently interchanged in past centuries. Thus, Coisson lists surnames beginning with "I" under "J."
- Names with a soft "g" or "j" sound could be spelled using either letter (Jourdan and Giordan), so look under both G and J.
- The French name Charrier was spelled Scharrier in German; check both C and S.
- Consider the possibility of articles (adjectives such as "the" or "of" in English) in the name; for instance, the name Bastie also occurs as La Bastie; in the list below, check under both letters of the alphabet (in this case, B and L).
- A hyphen (-) can have two functions in the list of names that follows. The most frequent indicates common variations of the surname. In such cases, the hyphen is separated by the variations of the surname by a space, both before and after the hyphen. For example:
Allio - Alliaud (the French form - the Italian form)
Andreon - Andrion - Andreone (the French form - a French variation - the Italian form)Notice careafully the spaces on both sides of the hyphens in the above examples. This convention is also used in the Coisson book.
But, for clarity to American readers, hyphens are also used in compound surnames. In these cases, there is *no* space between the names and the hyphen. For instance:
Armand-Hugon
Armand-Hugon-Paillas
- Coisson shows variations of a surname in two ways. One way is through the use of a hyphen, as noted just above (e.g., Allio - Alliaud). He uses this to identify variations of the surname in its more modern form (such as the French and Italian forms, shown in the examples above).
But he also shows surname variations in parentheses. This seems to indicate variations in the surname over time (in some cases, in fact, over a few centuries), or spelling variations that are different enough to be overlooked otherwise.
- A question mark (?) following a name indicates that the name seems to be a variation of the preceding surname, but that this is not certain.
To research any of these names in the Valleys for the period of the parish registers (about 1709 forward), click here about the Piedmont Project family group records. To research the names in the Valleys prior to 1709, that is, in the notarial records, click here.
Because it is at present complicated to include diacritical marks (accents, etc.) in converting files for the Internet, all diacritics have been removed.
