Do you have Huguenot ancestry?

It is estimated that 20-30% of the English population have Huguenot ancestors somewhere in their background. Most people would be unaware of this. Large numbers of migrants from the British Isles came to settle in Australia so there will be many Australians who also have Huguenot ancestry. If you find a French sounding name amongst your English or Irish ancestors there is a chance that you may be one of them.

The Huguenots were French-speaking Protestants who, subjected to religious persecution at various periods in France in the 16th to 18th centuries, sought refuge in neighbouring Protestant states, particularly England and the Netherlands.

For more information on Huguenot records please consult our information guide:http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/180139/SLQ_Info_Guide_3_35_-Tracing_Huguenot_heritage_-_2010_10.pdf
