Origin of Uy, Meaning of Uy
Origin: Some of the noblest families of France have been those whose names have been in the Huguenot history. For centuries prior to the reformation their names had become famed for distinguished services. One of these old famous French names is DuPuy, or it is also spelled, DePue, DuPuis, DuPew, Depuy, DePuis, DuPue and Depew. It is mentioned in the history of the county in the eleventh century, and was found in the southeastern section where LePuy, two hundred and seventy miles a little southeast of Paris, is the capital town of Haute-Loire, province of Languedoc. In the tenth century its name was Podium Sauctae Mariae, and it sent the flower of its chivalry to the crusades in 1096. Joining Haute-Loire on the northwest is the department of Puy de Lonie, province of Auvergue. Louis Moverie (1643-80), a French historian, says 'DuPuy is an old house prolific of illustrious men.' It is almost certain it had its origin in France. In 1033, when Conrad II. united to the German Em! pire two burgundies, he appointed Raphael DuPuy, who held the office of commander of the Roman cavalry and grand chamberlain of the Roman Republic as governor of the conquered province of Languedoc and Dauphiny, whose descendants became possessors of many fine estates.

Origin of Uy, Meaning of Uy
Origin: Belle van Zuylen?s vergeten oma: Maria Jacoba van Goor (1687-1737). Een beknopte studie over zwarten en kleurlingen in Europa en Nederland door de eeuwen heen De toevallige vondst van een prachtig portret van Maria Jacoba van Goor vormde aanleiding tot mijn archiefbronnen en literatuur onderzoek naar zwarte en gekleurde historische personen. Hierin geef ik een beeld van de methoden en problemen bij het identificeren van deze personen. Tevens was deze vondst een reden om de literatuur van Belle van Zuylen, de biografie?n en de herkomst van haar fortuin door een Afrocentrische bril te bekijken. Met haar gekleurde grootmoeder past onze Belle van Zuylen (1740-1805), madame de Charri?re, in het rijtje van schrijvers als de Russische Alexander Pushkin, de Franse Alexander Dumas, de Britten Elizabeth Barrett en haar man Robert Browning. Evenals de componist Ludwig von Beethoven en Queen Charlotte van Engeland. Allen Europeanen met grote verdiensten die zwarte voorouders hadden. Verder blijkt dat zij in Zwitserland bevriend was met Pierre-Alexander Du Peyrou (1729-1794), een bruine Surinaamse plantagehouder, die ook bekend is als de vriend en de uitgever van het werk van de beroemdste filosoof der Verlichting, Jean Jaques Rousseau. Deze studie weerlegt de gedachte dat zwarten in Nederland allochtoon en vreemd zijn, waar vaststaat dat zwarten al vanaf de klassieke tijd of zoniet eerder in Europa leven. Tevens voorziet dit vernieuwende werk in vele namen en veel portretten van gekleurde Europeanen als tegenwicht, tegen de traditionele neiging gekleurde voorouders te verbergen. Een deel van deze informatie is al bekend in de Engelssprekende wereld bij de Afrikanen in de diaspora. Helaas zal men deze Afrocentrische informatie tevergeefs zoeken in Nederlandse internetpagina?s of op ?witte? site?s. Daar volstaat men met vast te stellen hoe ?lelijk? Koningin Charlotte was met haar ?te brede neus en mond die dezelfde fout vertoonde.? In plaats van te erkennen dat zij Afrikaanse trekken had. Feitelijk worden wij gigantisch belogen door de ?witte? geschiedenis wanneer blijkt dat Columbus niets heeft ontdekt behalve Afrikanen die sinds de oudheid reisden tussen Afrika en de Amerika?s. Ivan van Sertima schreef daarover en toont o.a. vele afbeeldingen van gigantische Afrikaanse koningskoppen. Bernal stelde in ?Black Athena? vast dat de wortels van de Griekse beschaving in Egypte liggen en niet uit het niets ontstonden. De tijdlijnen worden zo verzonnen om zwarte beschavingen te omzeilen. Etnografie is klinkklare onzin. Afbeeldingen van zwarte farao?s en zwarten met grote verdiensten worden ?wit? gemaakt of anders verborgen of vernietigd. De grote voorloper is echter J.A. Rogers die al in 1940 onder moeilijke (lees: racistische omstandigheden) onderzoek deed naar de werkelijke geschiedenis en de rol daarin van zwarte mensen, die over de hele wereld te vinden zijn. Ook in de positie van heersers. Het Portugese, Italiaanse en Franse hof werd net niet onder de voet gelopen door zwarte hovelingen. Europese koningen en koninginnen hadden gekleurde kinderen. Sommigen, als Gustavus IV van Zweden kwamen zelf op de troon terecht. EGMOND CODFRIED
