Hi Marie,

Pleased to hear you have joined the Society and I am sure you will find it
useful. I most certainly have.

The members list is always the place to start if you are trying to find
information on a name. Likewise the proceedings, issued at regular
intervals, are a mine of information.

The library is also extremely good but to get the best out of it you need to
visit although the librarian is always prepared to search for you. Whilst
searching for an individual who was known to be a bookseller in Saumur,
France, I came across a book published by him in 1635 and this was in the
library. I have since found he was a major publisher in Saumur and this
information I would not have found without the Society's help.

Roy Day.

| At the November meeting, I was elected as a Fellow (Member) of the
society.
| Andrea thought that others might be interested in information about
applying
| for membership.
|
| Send a request for application form to:
|
| Mr. Robert Jacques, Administrative Officer
| The Huguenot Society of Great Britain and Ireland
| The Huguenot Library
| University College
| Gower Street
| London WCIE 6BT
|
| The society meets in May and November and members are elected at that
time.
| The fee for US members is $60.00 paid by check when application is mailed
| On the form is a place to fill in name and address of your bank and one
| signs and authorizes society to withdraw $40.00 at beginning of 2nd year
and
| each year one remains a member
|
| The application form is designed for residents of UK and states amount
| payable in Pounds.
|
| No proof of ancestry is required but an interest in promotion of society.

|
| I haven't been a member long enough to be very knowledgeable. Mr. Jacques
| has been very nice in all of the correspondence. It takes about 10 days
for
| mail from London to Georgia. The cost of a letter is 62 cents, I believe.
| I called Postoffice and two 33 cent stamps will take the letter to London.
