If you post a question in the G2G forum about someone in this category, use the Huguenot Migration project's tag: huguenot

Huguenot is the category for persecuted French Protestants and their descendants who were inspired by the writings of John Calvin in the 1530s.

The subcategory Huguenot Migration applies to the migrating Huguenots who left France between 1540 and 1790.

The criteria for applying the category:Huguenot to any Huguenot descendants anywhere in the world are:

1. If the Profile Person has, or was, a French Huguenot ancestor born after the 1530s (migrant or not)
2. If the Profile Person has a French name last name at birth (LNAB) (continuous French male line of descent)
3. If the Profile Person has Protestant church membership
4. If the Profile Person was born before 1789

• Starting in the 16th century the term "Huguenot" was originally used derisively in France, as the Catholic Church persecuted all Protestants throughout Europe, forcing Huguenots to flee or be exiled from France and to seek religious freedom in new countries.
• WikiTree's Huguenot Migration project "seeks to identify...those profiles of people who were known as Huguenots or French Huguenots who migrated out of France to other countries between 1540 and 1790."
• Many Huguenot exile families came to settle in New Netherland (see the New Netherland Settlers project for criteria) and for Category, see link: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:New_Netherland_Settlers. G2G discussions about New Netherland should use the New Netherland Settlers project's tag: new_netherland

End of the Huguenot era of persecution and restoration of French citizenship

• After 1724, persecution of Huguenot Protestants diminished in France, finally ending with the Edict of Versailles, commonly called the Edict of Tolerance, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of 1789, Protestants gained equal rights as citizens.
• The French government then encouraged descendants of exiles to return, offering them French citizenship in a 15 December 1790 Law: "All persons born in a foreign country and descending in any degree of a French man or woman expatriated for religious reason are declared French nationals (naturels français) and will benefit from rights attached to that quality if they come back to France, establish their domicile there and take the civic oath." This is the first law offering the right of return to the descendant Huguenot exile families.
