Jean Pierre Bondurant Chapter -- Middle Tennessee
John Sevier Chapter - East Tennessee
William Witt Chapter -- East Tennessee
We welcome prospective members and are ready to assist prospects with their genealogy and applications. Searching for your Huguenot ancestors is a fulfilling effort and membership a pride, but the lasting result is knowing that you descend from a courageous and dedicated French Huguenot.

* At the 2023 Annual Fall TN Branch Meeting, a bylaw change was approved to elect TN Branch officers in ODD years instead of EVEN years. In the future, the TN Branch Officer election will align with the National Officer election (which is every two years in ODD-numbered years). All have agreed to serve one extra year during this term.
