FYI....(maybe)

Across the way over at Mayport (Jacksonville Beach) is the National Monument commerating the French Huguenot settlement there. It is Ft Caroline and they have a pretty good visitors center with lots of stuff.

They also have a book by a Florida congressman called "The Three Voyages" that is the journal of Rene Laudonniere who made the trips circa 1586. The book is unusual in that it is a first source, not a secondary account of historians. The book recounts the problems with the efforts and relates the journeys all the way to East Tennessee. They were done in by treachery and Spaniards

it is available on Amazon

Thanks for the info! Will look for it. My amateur interest in genealogy sweetly connects me to my ancestors and my husband’s and always confirms how each of us are connected!
