Mass Murder and Torture of French Protestants called Huguenots.
Started in the 1700's and Louis XIV was the worst one overall. Those that could or would fled to England, Ireland, USA & Canada mostly, they estimate 50,000 arrived in England Alone...
My Husband's family on his French side were all Huguenots or descendants of. I have done Ancestry study of them over the years and made acquaintances with more of his Family through it, which involved both sides of his Family. New Zealand there is his birth name honoured by a Long Road as one of his close Ancestors set up Coromandel as a gold rush town and made the town successful. The French side areAumoniers and have a long history of shining in the Arts. Sculptors and like...Eric Aumonier to name one was a Sculptor and one or his works is the kneeling Archer outside East Finchley Station London. I'll leave a link and the end part states about the USA Huguenots which might be of interest.
