2025 REGISTER OF QUALIFIED HUGUENOT ANCESTORS, 6th Edition: The Huguenot Researcher's Authoritative Sourcebook of Proofs
WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / October 18, 2026 / In celebration of the 250th anniversary of American independence, The National Huguenot Society is highlighting the publication of its 2025 REGISTER OF QUALIFIED HUGUENOT ANCESTORS, 6th Edition: The Huguenot Researcher's Authoritative Sourcebook of Proofs, a major genealogical reference work documenting more than 600 bona fide Huguenot ancestors and their descendants.
Created for genealogists, historians, lineage-society researchers and descendants seeking to trace their Huguenot heritage, the 884-page Sixth Edition brings together extensive documentation concerning recognized Huguenot ancestors and their descendants in a single research source.
"For many descendants, discovering a Huguenot ancestor opens the door to an extraordinary story of faith, persecution, migration and rebuilding a life in a new country," said Janice Murphy Lorenz, Editor & Honorary President General of The National Huguenot Society. "Huguenot genealogy is filled with fascinating family traditions, but establishing a bona fide Huguenot ancestor requires evidence. Our goal with this edition of the Register was to bring together carefully documented information that researchers can use to investigate and substantiate their own family connections."
At the heart of the volume are genealogical "proofs" and authorities referenced for qualified Huguenot ancestors. Extensive indexes enable researchers to search not only for ancestors and descendants, but also for members of family and social circles and for geographic place names-potentially providing additional paths for investigating Huguenot origins and migration.
The America 250 observance has particular resonance for Huguenot descendants. Huguenots and their descendants were among those who contributed to the founding of the United States and the cause of American independence, a heritage represented by figures such as George Washington, Paul Revere, Alexander Hamilton and Henry Laurens. The Sixth Edition identifies applicable Revolutionary War Patriotic Service recognized by the Daughters of the American Revolution, helping today's descendants connect their genealogical research with the Revolutionary-era service of earlier generations. It also incorporates maps, Huguenot history, artwork and historical images that place the genealogical records within their broader historical setting.
For researchers who suspect Huguenot ancestry but do not yet know where their connection lies, the Register can serve as a starting point for identifying possible ancestral and family connections. For established researchers, it provides a substantial reference source for evaluating and documenting Huguenot lineages. It is also an important resource for individuals preparing lineage documentation for membership in The National Huguenot Society.
The National Huguenot Society is a Protestant organization that welcomes members of all religious faiths. Its objectives are patriotic, hereditary, educational, historical and religious. Through genealogical research, historical preservation, education and commemoration, the Society works to preserve and promote awareness of the Huguenots and their legacy of faith, freedom and liberty of conscience.
