+#Requires searches in the 19th and later centuries to be conducted in the parish registers of the Church of England. Many of the Huguenots assimilated into the Church of England society rather quickly. Because of the *Protestant similarities in doctrine and beliefs of the predmoinant church (Church of England), it did not take long for most next-generation and later Huguenots to assimilate into its ranks and English society in general. Most Huguenot Churches' registers in Great Britain were not kept much later than about 1830.
-*2.Requires knowing that French surnames by the 20th century are very likely to have been anglicized, sometimes rendering it difficult to determine the original “Huguenot” spelling of the family surname

-*3.Requires tracing them according to usual English ancestral research procedures viz, in not only Church of England parish registers and in Nonconformist registers, but in borough registers of occupations and trades, in tax assessments, churchyard inscriptions and burials, wills, parish chest records from the 1560’s to 1700
+#requires searches to be made in the Huguenot Society (of Great Britain) Publications which contain transcribed records from church registers which have mostly been indexed and published on FamilySearch.org. of Grat Britain's approximately 75 congregations, there are surviving registers for about 45-50 of them. Or, contact the Huguenot Society of Great Britain, directly, and have them provide a list of record agents in order to search not only the various Huguenot congregation registers they hold for Great Britain, but also&nbsp; Quarto Books which also provide records and details of Huguenots.
-*4.Assume that most Huguenot refugees came over to England in very poor or destitute conditions, although the average person was a skilled craftsman in a trade. Thus searches should be made in parish chest records in cases when they were poor or destitute, i.e. Rye or Winchelsea (Sussex) parish records. These records may be the only available record for a refugee, before moving on to or migrating to a larger township or city, such as Norwich, Canterbury, Dublin or London, or another country in the empire, etc.

-Nonconforming Church – Protestant church which conforms to the Church of England’s Book of Prayer
+[*Note: The main difference between the Church of England and Huguenot Church was the question of whether each Huguenot Church conformed to or were considered "Nonconforming" or, a church that "conforms to the Church of England’s Book of Prayer".]
