A story of persecution and survival brought to life in this biography of the author's Huguenot ancestors, the Le Plastriers. Taken from family documents, books and letters, the first part of the book tells of the lives of these ancestors and the years of discrimination, they, and Huguenots in general, endured during the French Wars of Religion. Central to the story are the massacres and torture suffered by them at the hands of the Catholic kings, François 1, Charles 1V, and Henri 111, under the influence of their powerful and domineering mother, Catherine de Médicis, and later under Louis X111 and Louis X1V, who revoked of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 when many Huguenots fled. Drawing upon the rich fund of documentary material of the Renaissance period, My Huguenot Heritage shows readers a licentious French court, where grandiose lifestyles alongside poisoning, ambition, treason, and violence were an everyday occurrence. The second part of the book tells of the experiences of the family after their harrowing escape to England in 1685, and how they survived in a new land having left family, friends and all their worldly goods behind in the country of their birth.

Director of the 1985 Huguenot Heritage tercentenary commemoration, Gwynn surveys the contributions to Britain and Ireland by the French- speaking Calvinist refugees who crossed the Channel between the 16th and 18th centuries. Among the topics are the situation in France, settlements in England, government reaction, crafts and trades, churches, opposition, the impact of Louis XIV's defeat, and assimilation. The first edition was published by Routledge in 1985; the second incorporates literature published and artifacts discovered since then, and is more comprehensively footnoted.

From the Knights Templar to serving in the militia under George Washington, the Huguenot's have been keepers of the faith, fighters for freedom, and left their mark on history. The Huguenots were massacred in France in the 17th century when the Royals declared one king, one law, one religion. Fleeing for their lives, and for the right to worship as Protestants, many walked away from lives of nobility. Jacques Guyon settled on Staten Island; Louis Guion settled first in Rye, then New Rochelle, NY. Follow their journeys and the lives of their descendants in a true French-American saga. Of particular interest to genealogists, with a supporting appendix, especially for those families who intermarried with the Guion's.

The Huguenots were the most successful refugees to leave their homeland in search of freedom. The book tells of their questioning of the established Catholic faith in France and continues through the rise of Calvinism, the wars of religion, the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, and the global diaspora of the Huguenots. It examines the national events that shaped their times, and brings to life some of their personal stories of persecution and flight, and how they travelled far and wide to begin new lives with the promise of religious and personal freedom. The book not only tells their history but informs the reader of the numerous, diverse and ingenious inventions, many of which are still much in evidence in our lives today. The book focuses mainly on France and the United Kingdom but within its covers can be found a kaleidoscope of information of their worldwide diaspora. Included within its pages are countless, often previously unpublished, Huguenot family histories set against the events they lived through. The book covers 500 years of history from 1517-2017 and includes many courageous and selfless acts of Huguenot descendants during both world wars and identifies many well-known individuals who have Huguenot ancestry. There is also information on how to research your Huguenot ancestors. The book has been described as a factual novel as it embraces both dedicated meticulous cross-referenced research with the easy read of a novel. A book with a difference that will suit both academic scholars and those who have very little knowledge of the Huguenots but would like to know more.

This is an account of some discoveries made exploring my connections to South Africa through my maternal ancestors. It traces through seventeen generations and three families - Le Roux, Shaw and Nicholson - with a focus on France, Ireland, South Africa, Canada and Australia. The earliest evidence is from the 1580s in France and it is a story of migration in the broadest sense. From France the Le Roux brothers avoided persecution as they were of the Protestant faith. From Ireland, the Shaw and Nicholson families grasped new opportunities to settle elsewhere in a rapidly developing world. My parents emigrated from Cape Town to Australia to avoid the repressive Apartheid regime, starting a new life, but leaving so much behind.Sustaining connection with family across the globe has become easier with modern technology. Curiosity to find out more about family was stimulated by a letter and stories from my aunt, Suzanne Humphrey. There were fascinating characters who had overcome many challenges in various countries. With the opportunity to travel and find these places where ancestors had once lived, I have been able to discover much more.
