The father of George may have been Louis, who is said to have come from Normandy (France), but earlier family was in Denmark. Though Normandy is part of France, it was actually a Danish colony in France that was established by an agreement between Rollo (a Danish viking) and Charles III of France in the year 911, establishing the Duchy of Normandy that was ruled almost autonomously by Rollo and his descendants for many generations. The Duchy of Normandy was officially dis-established around 1400, and power reverted to the King of France. However, the majority of the inhabitants would have still been Danes even into the 16th century. This would mean there would still be family ties between Denmark and Normandy. Therefore, it is likely that even though Louis may have come from Normandy, he would have been of Danish descent. George Hargase was born in 1590/91.1 He was baptized in 1590/91 at St Mary Magdalene, Old Fish St, London, England.1 Children of George Hargase * George Hargase+ b. 1616/17, d. c 17161 * Anne Hargase b. 5 Mar 1617/181 Citations 1.
