About
Horry Frost Prioleau

Here are family history books I have published, some with my wife, Diane Thys Prioleau. The "Family History" books detail many generations of ancestors of our four parents. The "Descendant" books detail all known descendants of our eight great grandparents. The other books focus on a particular topic named in the title. Pertinent facts, events, and pictures are included where available. All books are priced at printing cost plus $1. The four-volume "Register of Carolina Huguenots" is co-authored with Edward Lining Manigault, who provided most of the family history data. To see if your family is included, first consult the 20,000 person Index in Volume 4. See Volume 1 for a description of the book and contents. Born in New York City of Charlestonian parents, I have lived in The Hague, Holland, Charleston, SC, New York, NY, Darien, CT, Sacramento, CA, Manila and Davao, Philippines, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and now in the San Francisco Bay Area. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Business School, and a Korean War veteran, I had a business career in petroleum marketing and a family-owned foundry. On retiring, I became interested in family history, and now have data on nearly 6,000 relatives. I am married with four children, eleven grand-children, and four great-grandchildren.
