Part of the New York Genealogical & Biographical Society Lecture Series

Participants will learn about: 1) the experiences of their ancestors in both Europe and America; 2) understand the available documentary sources of information (including rare European sources); and 3) current trends in Huguenot and Walloon scholarship.
