History of the Huguenot Emigration to America
This is a valuable study of the Huguenot emigration to America. Baird has conducted a profound research, so profound that almost all Huguenot names which are connected with certain facts or places are included. The Huguenot immigration from France was taking place from the second half of the 17th century till the time of the Revolutionary War. Huguenots were French protestants who had to overcome a difficult way from France to Netherlands and Great Britain and then cross the ocean to find themselves in so desired America. The first immigrants settled down on the territory of the modern states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, and Virginia. Later on the families of Huguenot traveled to Pennsylvania and other states. Baird presents the genealogical details of the first Huguenots on the coasts of America.
