In case it is of any help, my grandfather, Frank Henry Bloomfield b. 1901, worked with his cousin the Rev. Harry Bloomfield, to follow the Bloomfield family tree back to Sir William De Blomvyle c. 1222.

I understand there was a problem taking it back as far as Normandy to discover the very roots of Richard De Blonville; the French Authorities were apparently uncooperative.

I believe my mother, Barbara Bloomfield, may have a copy of the tree laying around, whilst the original will shortly be hanging on my wall. If any of you might wish to see a copy, I will see if I can arrange to have one sent to you... or you could always drop by to visit me in Suffolk... and bring a magnifying glass!

Welcome to rootschat.     I would be very interested, as I am sure several others on here would be. To be able to send you my  email address or other or for you to do the same via the PM system you need to make 2 more posts [anything will do].   John.

One.

Two. An error message told me to leave a delay between the postings...

Has this done the trick?

Hello Brooker 62

Like young tug I would also be very interested in seeing a copy of your family tree.  We have come to a grinding halt and do not know where to go next.  

My line is the same as Yi Win's our grandfather's were brothers, so i'm sure she would also be very interested. Look forward to hearing from you again   Gayla

Hello young tug and Galya,

It took Frank and Harry many years to get this far and thought they are long gone, I think it would be a good thing to share what they gathered. After all, it could save you a lot of frustration if they already found connections you have been looking for. I will ask my mother if she can get a copy of the tree posted up to me, one I can send out. The master copy is framed. Do either of you live in Suffolk, at all?

Give me a little time to find out re the copy and I will re-post asap.

Best, Trevor

I am in Wiltshire I'm afraid.

Not to worry, if my mother can find some (rather large) copies of the tree, I could post you one if you'd like.

My uncle, Peter Bloomfield, has following in the footsteps of his father Frank, been delving into this for many years also. I would hope to inform him of any new connections as things develop so he could talk about research and the vast database of knowledge he has stored in his head! Perhaps he might take up communication with you at some stage?
