Summary/Notes:

Historians have always believed that some of the Cape Huguenots from Provence and Dauphiné were descendants of members of the Vaudois religious group who had moved there form the Piedmont area. In this article, Cees de Jongh discusses the possibility that the ancestors of some of the Cape refugees from Provence might have been from the Aosta Valley. It is in this valley that Calvin stayed around 1536. In realtà l'articolo non fornisce nessuna prova per questa ipotesi [AdL, 29-10-2008]
