[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The fact that half the settlers in Nieuw Nederlands were Huguenots speaks to the scale of the Huguenot diaspora. The clockmakers of Switzerland were Huguenot gunsmiths gone pacifist. Every country in Europe has Huguenot populations. (E.g., the top Luftwaffe fighter General, Adolf Galland, was a Huguenot descendant.) There is still a Huguenot historical association in the Hudson Valley. New Rochelle, NY was named for the Huguenot stronghold of Rochelle France, and to this very day its library is called the Huguenot Library, although the current population is latter day minorities.

Hugenot Street in New Paltz, NY is billed as the "oldest continuously inhabited street in the United States." There are very neat, very low walled stone houses along the street. Towns full of weirdo libs, though.

There is a stained glass window in the New-York Historical Society's library on Central Park West depicting Louis XIV revoking the Edict of Nantes. (I think the king is running his sword through it.) I assume the founders of the society were linking their family histories to the diaspora that act caused.
