Portier in Holland and Indonesia
Hi there,
can someone tell me something about the migration of the Portiers from France to the Netherlands and the migration of Portiers from the Netherlands to Indonesia? I understand that the Portier family in France were part of the Hugenots and because they were Protestant they were persecuted by the Catholics, so they had to flee from France.
Some of them fled to the Netherlands and established themselves there. I understand that seven brothers of the Portier family migrated to Indonesia hence my existence (both my parents are Dutch-Indonesians).
Has anybody more info about this? I would really want to know.
