Membership is open to any person, male or female, who is a descendant of a Manakin Huguenot Founder, male or female, or descended from a Huguenot resident of Virginia prior to 1786, provided the applicant meets all requirements of the organization. Those interested in joining should work through the registrar of the branch/chapter in your location. To find out the registrar in your area, email Manakintown@gmail.com or use the contact form below to find out the branch with whom you should contact. One must join through a  branch.  Most branch registrars accept word-processed applications (doc or pdf files), printed on acid-free paper in legal format. If you do not live in a state with a branch, you are welcome to join any branch.

To become a member of the Society, you will have to document fully an unbroken line of descent from one of the founders of the colony or a Huguenot immigrant resident of Virginia prior to 1786.  It is possible to refer to documents already submitted with applications being held at the Library.

You may find the society's research library
at Manakin in Richmond helpful for your own
research (804 794-5702). Documents submitted with past applications are especially valuable. The library of the Virginia Historical Society is strong in Huguenot materials. Check the on-line catalog at
http://www.vahistorical.org or call

804-342-9686. The Library of Virginia is another good resource, with some genealogical materials on the Huguenots not in our library.

Other good Richmond area resources (some with on-line catalogues and good
Huguenot materials) include the following:
