Pastre Family

The Pastre family of Hessen-Darmstadt were Waldensian, French Protestants whose ancestors spent hundreds of years of exile in Europe searching for a homeland that would allow them religious freedom.  They found that home in the Rohrbach-Wembach-Hahn area of Hessen-Darmstadt.  Their land lease was an expensive one, which left very little for living expenses.  But it provided the freedom they had so long desired.  The Rohrbach-Wembach-Hahn Colonie specialized in the stockingweaver trade, catering to men's fashion of that day.  Many young Germans moved to the Waldensian Colonie to learn the trade, but were not allowed to become landowners.  Property was passed within Waldensian families.  Marriage outside the colonie by women required surrender of land rights.  Eventually time and marriage caused assimilation into the German population. In 1830 German Lutherans began attending the Rohrbach Waldensian Church.  This researcher would like to correspond with anyone who has early information regarding the Pastre family.  (Thanks to Brigitte Köhler for historical details.)
