A NEW TAPESTRY: AUSTRALIAN HUGUENOT FAMILIES

Convicts, goldminers, wealthy squatters, Governors of colonies, farmers, teachers and clergymen: their ancestors were religious refugees, but they came to Australia as migrants.

Our society’s second book, ‘A New Tapestry: Australian Huguenot Families’ tells the stories of 30 Huguenot (French Protestant) families and covers the full range of history, from the 17th to the 21st centuries, concentrating on the lives of Huguenot-descended men & women in Australia, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. They range from well-known Australians (Cazaly, Perdriau) to many lesser-known pioneers.

The cost is $20, plus $12 postage and handling within Australia. You can purchase via PayPal or credit card (see below).
