A Valuable New Resource for All Genealogical Researchers

–Especially For Potential Huguenots–

Although this monumental genealogical reference book is for ALL genealogical researchers, it is also specifically designed to assist those genealogical researchers seeking to find Huguenot ancestors in order to join the ranks of Huguenots such as Paul Revere, & Huguenot descendants George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, & numerous presidents of the United States. Becoming an official Huguenot signals a coveted lineage to the French Protestants who emigrated to America & elsewhere between 10 December 1520 & 28 November 1787, then distinguished themselves through their courageous convictions of freedom of religion & conscience, honourable conduct, & service to their communities. The proof needed to establish the connections lies within the covers of this book.

This 2025 Register of Qualified Huguenot Ancestors, 6th Edition: The Huguenot Researcher’s Authoritative Sourcebook of Proofs identifies more than 650 Primary Huguenot ancestors & the first few generations of their families. If the researcher can prove descent from any one or more of them, the authorities presented herein will serve as authoritative proof of qualification in The National Huguenot Society. 850 + xxviii pages, all name index, all place-name index.

In addition to a comprehensive listing and index of the Primary Ancestors from whom members of the National Huguenot Society are descended, useful highlights include:

  • Biographical sketches of each Primary Ancestor, along with the first few generations of descendants;
  • Separate indexes for the Primary Ancestors & for all Ancestors, Descendants & Their Circle;
  • Full citations to source material for each Primary Ancestor, & any inter-family connections noted;
  • Huguenot Revolutionary War Patriots are identified & indexed in the Huguenot Patriots Index, &
  • Geographical locations, which are also incorporated into a detailed Place Names Index

NOTE: All ancestors from our prior editions are combined into this one book, and our older editions are no longer available for sale. Please be aware that many of the ancestor entries have been edited for clarification or to add references to connections to other Huguenot families; the entries for some Primary Ancestors were eliminated because they proved to instead be descended from another Primary Ancestor. Also, we have taken care to identify in the 2025 RQHA which lines are closed for the moment pending receipt of additional data and clarification, and which ancestors about whom we would welcome the receipt of additional data. The upshot is, you will need this 6th Edition to have the most up-to-date information about your potential Huguenot ancestors.

BONNE CHANCE ON YOUR GENEALOGICAL JOURNEY!
