One branch of my family is Huguenot, and we've been able to go back to the first ancestor who came here. It's going back to Holland and then France that seems to be the roadblock.

The rest of my ancestry is Irish, Scottish, Alsatian (French/German) and a sliver of Hungarian. None of the people in my family seem to have interest in working on that. I would imagine that Alsatian might be tough because over the centuries it kept being bounced back and forth between the French and the Germans.

Sufficiently high ranked Huguenots took pains to OBSCURE their trail out of the murderous hands of their close cousin, the King of France.
