[BITE SIZE] Pierre Chastain: Tenth-Great-Grandfather

Through the incredible journey of my tenth-great-grandfather, Pierre Chastain, we uncover the harrowing plight of the Huguenots as they fled relentless persecution in 17th-century France. Forced to navigate a hostile Europe in search of safety, their story takes us through waves of hardship until they finally find refuge in Virginia. As we dive deep into their struggle, we confront the cyclical nature of oppression and survival—revealing how history repeats itself in both heartbreaking and powerful ways. Links and Resources mentioned in this episode.
