"The Society maintains a library offering resources for historical research and tracing of Huguenot ancestry. A qualified librarian/archivist, genealogist and registrar are available to offer assistance. Members of the Society as well as the public are invited to use the library facility during business hours. A minimal fee is charged for use of the library by non-members." http://www.huguenotsociety.org/

On August 25, 1572, St Bartholomew's Day, when thousands of Huguenots were suddenly massacred by government forces in Paris and elsewhere in France. The Edict of Nantes in 1598 gave almost complete religious freedom.

It was during this period that three brothers are said to have fled the Rhone Valley --where the Huguenots had been most concentrated -- and fled to Scotland, assuming the caldwell surname.

The Huguenot Library, at University College, Gower Street, London WC1, contains geneological docuyments.

An Irish Section of the Society was established in 1987 and it has over 100 members at the moment. Application forms for those wishing to join the Irish Section are available from the Honorary Secretary Annette Camier, Sunhaven, Celbridge, County Kildare. The initial membership charge is £26, and thereafter there is an annual fee of £16. Membership is not confined to people with Huguenot ancestors, anyone with an interest in Huguenot history is welcome to join.

All members of the Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland receive a copy of the Society's annual publication The Huguenot Proceedings. This booklet is both scholarly and readable, and is also a very useful work of reference. All members also receive a quarterly newsletter from London. Members of the Irish Section receive, in addition, at least two occasional newsletters.

No official help is given by the Society to its members in the area of researching ancestors. However, at the various meetings, help comes in the form of passing on advice and sharing of research findings. In September 1994, the Irish Section formally began the process of building up a collection of manuscripts, printed material, illustrations and artefacts. It is hoped that this will eventually become a vital source for those interested in the history and development of the French Protestant movement.

Most Huguenot families who settled in Ireland conformed, in due course, to the Church of Ireland, and so there are strong historical links between the two religious communities.
