Editing Huguenots (section)

==Emigration and diaspora==
As a final destination, most of the Huguenot émigrés moved to Protestant states such as the [[Dutch Republic]], [[England and Wales]] (prominently [[History of the Huguenots in Kent|in Kent]] and London), Protestant-controlled [[Ireland]], the [[Channel Islands]], [[Scotland]], [[Denmark]], [[Sweden]], [[Switzerland]], the electorates of [[Margraviate of Brandenburg|Brandenburg]] and [[Electoral Palatinate|the Palatinate]] in the [[Holy Roman Empire]], and the [[Duchy of Prussia]]. Some fled as refugees to the [[Dutch Cape Colony]], the [[Dutch East Indies]], various [[Caribbean]] colonies, and several of the [[Thirteen Colonies|Dutch and English colonies]] in North America.<ref name="Calvin">{{cite book|last=Calvin|first=Claude|title=The Calvin Families|publisher=University of Wisconsin|date=1945|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89062866439;view=1up;seq=1|pages=47–53, 57–71}}</ref> A few families went to [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] [[Russia]] and Catholic [[Quebec]].

After centuries, most Huguenots assimilated into the various societies and cultures where they have settled. Remnant communities of [[Camisard]]s in the [[Cévennes]], most Reformed members of the [[United Protestant Church of France]], French members of the largely German [[Protestant Reformed Church of Alsace and Lorraine]], and the Huguenot [[diaspora]] in England and [[French Australian|Australia]], all still retain their beliefs and Huguenot designation.
