Who They Were & How They Influenced America
https://tinyurl.com/GRIVAHuguenotDec2022
Janice Lorenz, JD and Nancy Brennan, National Huguenot Society
Why did the Huguenots flee 17th century France and why did they come to America, particularly Virginia? These questions and more will be addressed by Huguenot researchers Janice Murphy Lorenz and Nancy Wright Brennan. In addition they will offer valuable tips and resources to help you begin or advance your study of Huguenot ancestors. Contributions made by Huguenots and information on the National Huguenot Society will be included in the program.
