Devantier family

I’ve just had a message from Torben Devantie in Denmark:

I will just let you know, that the adress on my website The Devantier Family Tree, has changes a little bit.

It is now just

www.devantie.net

And if you are on facebook I have a group there called Devantier Family.

There is also a group on Orkut, Família Devantier, which has 55 members, mostly from the South American branches of the Devantier family.

Our branch of the Devantier family were Huguenots who left France in the 17th century and settled in Brandenberg, north-east of Berlin. From there descendants have spread to many parts of the world. A large group went to Denmark, and some have gone to North America, Australia and Brazil. There is more information about the family on our Devantier family page on Wikispaces.

Torben Devantie’s web site has a lot of  genealogical information on the family, showing how the various branches are linked.
