Hello Kevin,
Thank you for the email about Dumonts - I have tried googling both Dumont
and Huguenot with no luck so far but I had not thought of Rootsweb surnames
so thank you for that and I will give it a go.
Diana (Julie just forwarded it for me)

Hello Julie, If you try googling Dumont with Monmouthshire and
Huguenot
you
might find something.
Large numbers of Huguenots came to England and Ireland. I can only guess
that wales was included too.
I think your best bet would be to find other researchers via Google and
Rootsweb surname boards.
Best of luck,Kevin. Co Cork.
