Welcome to
The Huguenot Society of South Carolina

The Huguenot Society of South Carolina was established in 1885 to preserve the memory of the Huguenots who left France prior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration, November 28, 1787.  Today, the Society has nearly 2,000 members who are descendants of those Huguenots.     

The principal objectives of the Society are to:

bullet

Preserve the memory of the Huguenots

bullet

Promote a better understanding of the values and culture of these Huguenots.
bullet

Maintain genealogical records of the emigrants to this country and their descendants.

Membership in the Huguenot Society is open to those who can document that they are descendants in the male or female line of a Huguenot who emigrated to America prior to the promulgation of the Edict of Toleration on November 28, 1787.  No connection with South Carolina is required. (Click here for membership information.)

The Society maintains a library offering resources for historical and genealogical research.  A qualified researcher is available to offer assistance, both on site and by email or regular mail.  Members of the Society, as well as the general public, are invited to use the library facility during business hours.  A minimal fee is charged for non-members.
