The hamlet of Gourdol is probably where my earliest ancestors lived, sometime around the XVI-XVII century. They were protestants living in a catholic nation, which made for accurate record keeping difficult. However, most of my known ancestors can be traced back as having lived in the area, so the name of this hamlet is surely not a coincidence.
