Huguenot Settlers in America, 1600s-1900s

Description

This Family Archive CD contains electronically searchable text of the pages of sixteen Huguenot reference works published by the Genealogical Publishing Company. Together these books comprise the most notable collection of Huguenot reference materials in the English language. In general, they provide accounts of the origins of the Huguenots in France, their persecution and subsequent flight from the European mainland, and their dispersal throughout Great Britain and America. Key sections of the books are devoted to histories of Huguenot settlements and churches and to studies of the Huguenot influence on American life before the Revolutionary War. But the most significant portions of the books are reserved for accounts of Huguenot immigrants and their families, some taking the form of pedigrees, genealogies, and lengthy family histories, others appearing as lists of baptisms, marriages, and deaths. System Requirements: You must have a CD-ROM drive, and in order to read the CD you must use either the Family Archive Viewer (version 4.0 or higher), which is available as a free download at www.genealogical.com/content/dlfav6.html, or Family Tree Maker for Windows, version 4.0 or higher (Family Tree Maker software can be ordered from www.FamilyTreeMaker.com).
