Without looking, I can tell you the listing will be less accurate than the
Huguenot listings. The edict closed the borders to
Huguenots. Any
Huguenot that left after the edict did so without the government knowing. The list was probably given to them from the
Huguenot society. The US list contains only the names of
Huguenots that has descenents proven descendents. Because 99% came over before 1700 that is most difficult to do. You need to have proof that your ancestor came from France and that he was of a proper faith. Then be able to prove the centuries of pedagree. If the society deams you proof solid then your ancestor is put on the list.
Just becase Jean
Doe was a
Huguenot does not mean your ancestor was a
Huguenot any more than we can tell your faith today by your surname.
If you are from N
America you might wish to write any NY city genealogical society. As them to research your surname in the registry of Eglise
Francaise a la Nouvelle
York. No need to guess how it should have been spelled back then. Let the experts figure that one out. Spellings are not consistant anyway.
n NYC. That is in print but in French. I think there was a
Huguenot church in the
Hudson valley but it was tiny. Like most of the colonies, New
Rochelle NY did not have a
Huguenot church. The French went to an Anglican Church as did many French even in NYC which had a French church close by. A great deal of
Huguenots wanted NOTHING to do with France. I suspect more went to the Trinity Church then the French church. That was the pretty church that survived 9-11 even though it was right next to the towers. It was also in the movie National
Treasure.
Most were wealthy merchants. The fact that they were wealthy and they knew sea captians allowed them to escape even though the borders were closed in the first month or two. Later, the government would have closed that option.
