I'm of Huguenot descent - (my French family side escaped France a few hundred years ago as they were chased out). One half of the family stayed here and were good (one half were 'wine merchants///aka pirates and were deported to Australia),

The other Huguenot family in my family line (there's two lots) were sail makers and saddle makers and settled in Kent.

I guess some of these could be conected to the Acadians in their flight from France?
