Hello,
I am researching the Petre/Peters connections, and my line comes down through Henry Peters of Fowey, Cornwall, England who married a sister of William Petre who was the Secretary of State to Henry the 8th, and the first in the line of Barons Petre. I am looking for Valentine and William Petre who were in Amsterdam or Antwerp, Holland and fled to England during the Holland Inquisition. I believe this Petre line was originally from France or Belgium and were merchants who came to Holland with their trades. There is a connection between the Petre and Peters families, and I am trying to find the connections in Holland. Any information would be appreciated! Thank you,
Lee Carr
