Administrative and membership records of the Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania. The Administrative series contains reports, correspondence, a small number of financial records, and several copies of the state and national organizations' constitutions and by-laws. Along with reports from the president, the treasurer, and the Junior Membership Committee, the series includes reports from the state society's two chapters. The Membership series comprises the bulk of the collection, and primarily contains membership applications. These applications include background information on the member, including age, occupation, immediate family members, religious affiliation, educational history, and other organizations to which the member belongs, as well as genealogical information connecting the member to a verified Huguenot line and references verifying that information. The series also includes handwritten indexes to the application, which cross-reference the surname of the member and the surname of the ancestor with the membership number.For more information on the Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania Records, the finding aid for the collection can be found here.
