French Genealogy: Huguenots

The Huguenots were French Protestants. They suffered persecution in Catholic-majority France. Because of this, many of them fled France to settle elsewhere in the 17th century. The first wave of Huguenots arrived in the U.S. in 1624 and began settling first in New York and New Jersey. After resettling, most Huguenots assimilated with existing Protestant groups in their new countries.
