Hoping for Huguenot Library assistance in London
I had emailed the Huguenot Society librarian earlier this year. He was kind enough to look at a file for me to determine there's only 2 pages in it. I assume it tells me my ancestor was not a Huguenot (b/c otherwise, why isn't there more documentation)... but it would be really nice to know what the response is. Also... I should make sure it actually is MY ancestor that was asked about. Also, I have been feeling pretty certain my ancestor was not a Huguenot... or, at least hadn't arrived with the wave of Huguenots to North Carolina. But, it would be nice to have confirmation, if possible.
It doesn't actually cost much, but I have had trouble with finances this year, and figure this isn't something I really need to spend on. They have a flat fee to digitize documents. It isn't a necessity. But would be nice to know what the pages say.
I asked a friend who lives in London, but he says he has no form of identification with which to access the library (how can anyone survive without ID??). The library requires an ID in order to allow people in.
It finally occurred to me, maybe I can just ask if someone here, already in London, and perhaps even, already a member of the Huguenot Society may be able to pop in for me sometime to copy/scan/take pic of the 2 pages in the file I'm interested in?
This is the information about visiting the Library.

It does say it requires an appointment set 2 weeks in advance.
Anyway... just thought I'd throw this request out there. Figure it can't hurt. Especially if someone else may already have research to do and are planning on going. Thanks!
