How the Listing is Alphabetized
The following rules delineated by The Huguenot Society of London are used for alphabetizing the listing of Huguenot ancestral names on this site:
- A prefix of d’ or de preceding a surname will be disregarded (i.e. d’Aubigné will be listed under "A" and de Pré will be listed under "P")
- Surnames preceded by des or du will be listed under "D" (i.e. Des Carrières, DuMoulin)
- Surnames preceded by la or le will be listed under "L" (i.e. La Caux, Le Bas)
- Surnames preceded by de la will be listed under "L" (i.e. de la Chevallerie)
- A prefix of van preceding a surname will be disregarded (i.e. van Notten will be listed under "N")
