Huguenot Australia

Aims and Activities

Our society's aims are:

to foster a bond of friendship amongst descendants of the Huguenots

to encourage knowledge of Huguenot history and the Huguenot contribution to all countries where they and their descendants settled, including Australia

to offer advice on Huguenot family history research

Activities

Meetings

Our meetings are held regularly in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane; we usually have at least one speaker who gives a talk on some topic of Huguenot interest.

This is followed by afternoon tea and a chance for members to mingle, get to know each other, and exchange information.

Our meetings are open to everyone. Details of time and place can be found in the upcoming events section.

Social Events

A variety of dinners, lunches, picnics and other activities are held regularly in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to allow members to socialise and get to know each other.

Journal and Newsletter

We publish our journal, 'Huguenot Times' twice a year (May and November) to keep in contact with all our members, especially those who live outside the big cities.

It includes articles of Huguenot interest, including the text of speeches given at our meetings and shared information on family history.
We also publish an e-newsletter via the Internet in August
