I established this page when I was writing my book, "Huguenot Heroes of America". I have Parkinson's and am no longer able to maintain this page. Would someone please take over? Good luck.

Jan Elder has written an engaging account of a portion of our history that has simply not been told. Once you have become acquainted with these heroes as Huguenots, you are not likely to forget how that role influenced their lives. This book is suitable for high-school readers as well as adults. I'm looking forward to sharing these stories with my family.

I'm not interested in starting a fight with the Catholic Church, I just want to tell the story of brave Hug immigrates who came to America and thrived.

Need more help, so many Huguenots came to America as part of settlers from other countries, I.e. The Dutch are credited. With settling Manhattan, actually many Hugs were in the group, as with Swedes in Deleware, any ideas? Jan

Thank everyone for your interest, we are currently compiling persecutions that directly contributed to the constitution and bill of rights. If anyone in your families suffered directly please let us know, I.e. Quartering of troops, they all felt effects of right to congregate.

Dear Huguenot Friends, It has taken three years to figure out how to descrine the reformation in 1,000 words so we can concentrate on our stories. I am really interested in where they are now and any contribution to the Amrican revolution. We have three wonderful stories, but are open to any others. Thank you, Jan
