BTW, my own Virginia pedigree goes back to the construction of the first house by a Huguenot in the Tidewater ~ it was already a ruin by the time the English got there.

That's close to 400 years.

After that, the family was on the move for a long time, even to Indianapolis, Indiana.

My Huguenot ancestors came over on a land grant from the king in the late 1800s. They were placed west of the City of Richmond as a barrier between the English and the Indians. I don't live too far from there now.

Of course, I have American Indian ancestors who were here a good while before that. ;-)
