Some of the Barnard family in England may have been Huguenots who fled from the Atlantic coast region of France circa 1685 (the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantes) or earlier than that date, however the evidence for this is tenuous, as the name does not appear in lists of proven Huguenot names. By contrast, the Barnard family in Holland (the western provinces of the Netherlands) can be definitively traced back to circa 1751 (Izaak Barnard) of Scheveningen. The countries from which they entered Holland prior to that date are uncertain. The Jewish branch of the Barnard family in England is well documented, and is thought to have arrived in England and Ireland, after the time of the readmission of Jews by Oliver Cromwell (1656); some of whom can be traced back to Rabbi Daniel Barnard of Canterbury, with notable descendants around London, Chatham, Dartford, Kingston upon Hull, Stockton-on-Tees, Bournemouth, Ipswich, Norwich and in Australia.

“In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 16:4.
“There will be but few people who, when at a loss for topics of conversation, will not reveal the more secret affairs of their friends.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
