Record Search

If you want to search for records for any name in this family tree, or for any other family name, just click below on the first letter of the family name you are interested in. This will open a new tab in your browser giving you a list of family names beginning with that letter, for which there are baptism records in our database of half a million church and public registry records.

You can also select marriages or burials. Select the name you want and when the list of records is displayed you can easily refine the search, choosing a single parish, given name(s) and/or start and end dates.

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

  19. ↑ Light is cast on relationships within this part of the family by: R.P.9/242 (1632): "Jean Le Geyt, elder son [fils ainé] of the late Jean Le Geyt, fils Jean, and of Jeanne Le Gallais, his wife, together with Thomas Le Geyt, second-born son and Pierre Le Geyt in right of his wife Thomasse, daughter of the said late Jean Le Geyt and his said wife.." Messervy tells us, in ABSJ, V, 248, that these Le Geyts, being Thomasse`s family, were Le Geyts dit Le Maillier, whereas only Pierre Le Geyt, her husband, was a Le Geyt dit Rauvet
  20. ↑ R.P.12/231 (1642): "Elizabeth Baudains, veuve Thomas Le Geyt, fils Jean, was established tutrice of her children by [various persons including] Pierre Le Geyt [see above] and Jean Le Geyt"
  21. ↑ A deed dated 16th March 1722/3 [R.P.32/192] shows this Philippe Le Geyt as being "fils Philippe": "Susanne Le Geyt [probably baptised in 1693] resigned to Jean Le Geyt, son of Jean, all rights she had acquired from Philippe Le Geyt, son of Philippe". There is nothing to suggest the purchaser was a close relative. Philippe then bought from Jean Mauger, in right of his wife, on the 20th October 1724 [R.P.33/194] land on the Fief de Noirmont. He was described again as "Philippe Le Geyt, fils Philippe". Mauger then sold Philippe a slither of land on the same fief on the 18th January 1734 [R.P.38/65], this time describing Philippe as "fils Philippe, fils Philippe, fils Thomas." This is significant, as it not only establishes Philippe`s identity on arrival in a new parish, but distinguishes him from the Philippe Le Geyt (dit Reide), fils Benjamin, who was indigenous to the parish. Two years previously, [R.P.37/200 (27/01/1732)] Philippe and his wife, Sara Le Breton, had bought a house and further land on the Fief de Noirmont, in St Brelade, from Elizabeth Anley. The name of Philippe`s godfather provides a warning against assuming, without other grounds for doing so, that godparents of the same surname are related. Friendships among namesakes sometimes led to their being selected as godparents, on the basis that they were probably related in some way or another! In this case, Jean Le Geyt and Marthe Le Moigne, his wife, were Le Geyts dit Rauvet!
  22. ↑ R.P.46/93 (1758): "Elizabeth Fondan, wife of Josué Le Geyt and Marie Fondan, wife of Helier Martel, daughters of the late Philippe Fondan.."
  23. ↑ R.P.92/210 (1801): "Mse Elizabeth Le Geyt, daughter of Josué and of Elizabeth Fondan, his wife, principal heiress of her said late mother and [the co-heiresses] Mse Susanne Le Geyt and Mse Sara Le Geyt, wife of Patrick Neel". This establishes that Elizabeth`s elder siblings had died by 1801, without issue
  24. ↑ Godparents: Philippe Le Geyt, uncle, and Marie Le Geyt, wife of William Fruing
  25. ↑ Godparents: Philippe Coutanche and Sara Le Geyt, his wife, aunt of the child
  26. ↑ Soldier in the Company of Major Vavasor
  27. ↑ "Philippe Le Geyt junior" in 1741, and "senior" in 1798
  28. ↑ Philippe left a signed Jersey and Prerogative Court of Canterbury Will, dated 10/03/1785, of which his wife Susanne Carrel was to be the executor. His brothers Pierre and Jean and sister Anne received a shilling [this was usually for mourning]. The poor of St Brelade were also left a legacy. Philippe having left a P.C.C. Will, suggests he may have been a mariner
  29. ↑ Godparents: "Pierre Cabot, grand-père et Catherine Romeril, sa femme."
