Regular Membership Application

For Application to the National Huguenot Society

Individuals wishing to become regular members of The National Huguenot Society must meet the following four qualifications:

• be at least sixteen years of age

• adhere to the Huguenot principles of faith and of liberty

• be a member of the Protestant faith

• be linearly descended in the male or female line from either:

    1. a Huguenot, without regard to ethnic origin or adherence to any particular sect of Protestantism, who, subsequent to 10 December 1520 and prior to the promulgation on 28 November 1787 of the Edict of Toleration, immigrated to North America or some other country;
  --OR--
    2. a Huguenot who, in spite of religious persecution, remained in France. "France", as used here, refers to any territory lying within the Kingdom of France on the date of the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration on 28 November 1787.

​

Each membership application, fully documenting linear descent from a Huguenot ancestor in an acceptable genealogical manner, must be accompanied by a one-time application fee plus a payment of the first year's annual dues. 

A listing of Huguenot surnames currently recognized as qualified Huguenot ancestors for purposes of admission to The National Huguenot Society is provided on this site to aid you in your research. These names comprise a complete listing of all Huguenot names submitted and documented to the satisfaction of The National Huguenot Society to date. This listing is not - and never will be - a complete or exhaustive listing of names that would qualify an individual for membership in the Society. Thousands of additional Huguenots have yet to be identified and documented according to accepted genealogical methods.

Further information about membership and information as to whom you can contact in your closest state society for assistance with an application is available by contacting the Florida State Registrar.
