I know  from our family research that Huguenots fleeing from France(some
of my  ancestors were from Sedan) after Louis the XIV issued the Edict  of
Fontainebleau (1685), which made Protestantism illegal, stopped over  in
Brussels before taking refuge in England and Ireland.  My  ancestors
resided in London for a time before traveling and staying briefly  in
Amsterdam on their way to Virginia in the 1690s.

Is the edict of Fountainbleu the name used for the revocation of the (1598)  
Edict of Nantes? The latter is the explanation used in SC for the Huguenot  
diaspora... Carl Steen
