  It appears that Nicolaas and Janneken Bailleu moved from Verlinghem in French Flanders north to Holland near the city of Groede around the year 1702. This was the year that many Huguenots fled from France because of the persecution by the French crown. Back in the 1500's, the King of France, Henry of Navarre, (Henry IV) tried to firm up his claim as the rightful king of France. At first he was a Calvinist, but because of politics, he switched back to Catholic in order to appease the civil authorities. After several years of consolidating various forces, he had to make peace with his former enemies. He did this with several peace treaties. In France at this time there was not any religious freedom. You were either Catholic or Protestant. Henry decided to help his former friends, the Huguenots. He granted complete liberty of conscience and full equality before the law with mixed courts as a guarantee of justice. This was unheard of in his day. These special privileges were given in the Edict of Nantes (1598). When Louis XIV became king of France in 1661 he was fairly tolerant of Protestants and other groups within the Roman Catholic Church. However, as time went on, he became more and more incensed by dissidents and anyone who thought differently thaan himself. In 1672, he invaded Holland, took possession of Flanders (especially for the purpose of the Baljeu family, the town of Lille) and was on his way to conquer Amsterdam. The Dutch flooded the land and were able to repel the invaders. The Dutch had several allies such as Sweden, England and several German states. France retreated, but kept part of Flanders. At first the Edict of Nantes remained in effect. Huguenots had certain rights according to the law. The king even had several high ranking officials who were Huguenots. However, as time went on, he got rid of all people in his circles who criticized him for his actions. He replaced them with others who were less favourable towards Huguenots. In 1682 the intendants approved new methods of violence and harrassments against the Huguenots. Dragoons were quartered with Huguenots in their homes. This harrassment angered them so much that many of them left France. By 1685, most Huguenots had officially left the country. The Edict of Nantes was revoked. A great slaughter took place. Thousands of people were killed and their homes and possessions stolen. A vast exodus was the result, causing the greatest hardships. Whole families of grave, well-educated bourgeois, prosperous merchants and skilled artisans left France for Holland, Prussia, England, Brandenburg, South Africa, and other places around the world. One of those families was the Baillieu family. Along with a large group of other families, they took up residence just north and west of the town of Brugges, a region still controlled by the Dutch. The group set up a French speaking community. All records in this area were originally recorded in French. The spelling of the last name changed several times over the next few years until around the year 1800 when it took the name Baljeu.
