Europe / Re: french huguenots

Hi Maggie,

Thank you for all the info. I’m sure it will be useful in my search.
I’ve traced the family back to the 1600’s, living in Armagh, N.I.

From what I’ve learnt in my research, the Huguenots were affiliated to the Scottish Presbyterian faith, and I have found records for the family for baptisms and marriages in the Presbyterian church.

There are Flax growers and weavers amongst them, occupations which the Huguenots were known for. There is also mention in the family files of the family name Chartier.
I think this is a variant spelling of Chartres.

Please let me know if you find anymore.
Regards,
Moshe.

Has anyone found the name Villiers or it's derivatives amongst the Huguenot records or on any of the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland's CD's? Help appreciated, Moshe.

Hi all, has anyone had any success locating the name Villiers on the CD? I'm trying to trace my Huguenot ancestors who settled in Ireland and this is the family name. They arrived in Ireland sometime in the 1600's. Any help or light you can shed on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Moshe.

I've found several marriages for my family in the 3rd Presbyterian Church Armagh. From what i've found on the internet, the Huguenots when they migrated to other lands joined the already existing Presbyterian congregations where they resided. Can anyone shed any light on this?

I see there may be a connection to William of Orange, the Williamite wars and Pierre Drelincourt the Dean of Armagh with the Villiers family. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi jorose,

My family came to Ireland around the 1600's. I have an Andrew Villiers born in Armagh in 1680, and from research there was a Huguenot colony in Armagh. It's mentioned in a book by Grace Lawless Lee called "The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland", on the cover of the book there is a map of the settlements, one  of which is in Armagh, where my family settled. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. I've also tracked down some of my families descendants in Australia, at least one of them is convinced that the family is Huguenot. Regards, Moshe.
