On Monday, 24 July 2017, Kathy Chater, the author of Tracing Your Huguenot Ancestors (2012), will give a talk to Oxfordshire FHS titled ‘Huguenots in the British Isles’.
Kathy says: ‘Five hundred years ago Martin Luther’s protests against the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church of his day sparked religious controversy all over Europe. The Protestants in France, called Huguenots, were among the many waves of refugees from persecution who have over the centuries sought shelter in the British Isles. Many people have a family story of descent from them. How do you go about seeing if the story is true?’
Doors open at 7:15pm, when there will be advisors offering computer and genealogy help, a selection of Black Sheep books for sale, and tea and coffee available.
