Hello Grace,

It's good to hear from you again and I am certain my uncle would be very pleased with as much information from NZ as you could provide. I wouls be fascinated by how much unclue Peter might learn from the Blomfield Blondeville web site, too.

As for the French Connection, they got back as far as Richard De Blonvill who was the aforementioned sub tenant to Hubert De Monte Caniso, in Blonville, Normandy, around 1086. My memory - which could well be wrong here - tells me that when they requested assistance from authorities in France to identify the upline from thee, they were stopped. Again, my memory tells me the French didn't seem very keen to help some Rosbifs trace their lineage back over there... but I could be wrong. A month in  Normandy might help, but I donlt think they got that far, literally.

Best, Trevor

Hi Lady Grace,

I too would be interested in a copy of the pedigree you have please.

AND I noticed your 'new' crest picture - where did you get it done?

I've been trying in UK to get one done but the places I've contacted have only the standard Blomville (German origin) crest and unless I get the art work done myself and then present it to them I am struggling to find anyone who will take the description or picutre I have and 'make it up' for me.

I really want the crest and in a similar fashion to the one you've shown. It'll knock the mother-in-law for 6 if nothing else!

If anyone's interested I do have a hand written copy done in 1979 of the Blo(o)mfield pedigree - it seems mostly correct - I got it from a lady in USA who's relative had done it. It is of the Newton Flotman line not the Four Elms Pedigree. Stonham but I am willing to copy and pass around if anyone PM's me thier address.

I can also forward a Gedcom of the tree we have all on here put together - it does include my other side and I dont know how to split to to just Blo(o)mfield but I anyone is welcome to a copy - I can email that as a file but you'd need a programme such as Family Tree Maker or Legacy to run it from.

love Amanda (Yi Win)

Hi Amanda,

Sorry for dipping in to your conversation with Grace. I'm checking with my mother but I seem to remember there being a similar crest on the wall at my grandparents' house when I was young... which is some time ago now. If this should prove to be correct I could have it photographed and email a copy to you. There might even be the name of the maker on the back... we shall see, I hope I am correct.

Regards, Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Never worry about dipping into a conversation on this thread - its the best way to share all the info we have.

A copy would be very nice - all I have is the little piccy to the left courtesy of grace to go on if I do do anything - which of course i'd love to 

Therre used to be a coat of arms on the front of the property we live in but when it was sold the owners took it with them - there's a nice space left.......

Amanda, I think I sent you the latest Blomfield pedigree update it was for 2010.and a larger copy of the Blomfield coat of arms as well?...but can send again if you require it..re the newer  coat of arms..hmmm someone sent it to me....aha yes I'll have to try to remember where it is on my three computers lol..its very very nice I must agree...he's had it carved onto a wooden shield by the look of it....a simply super job.........hey nice to see you again:>)

ps I have your email so shall check what I sent you.....and rectify :>)

[Lady Grace]

I am certain we can sort things out. I'll let you know what my mother finds and when I can lay my hands on it.

You will not be surprised to know most of the roots are in East Anglia. In fact, when I take my motorcycle for a service in Newton Flotman, there is a large plaque beside the altar in the church next door, placed there by the Blundervilles, I think. All part of the same line.

I also traced a chap who lives in a large house on lands thought to comprise the old family estate, going back a good few centuries. It's fascinating.

Best, Trevor

trevor..I would be very interested in any photos of any Blomfield/Blomvyle estate/buildings/whatever  for my/our  Blomfield Family WW Website..another UK cousin Richard (Dick) thought he had it sussed for me..that was an Blomvyle Hall estate in, Woodbridge Easton Suffolk..... we had someone who actually was going to ask to take photos but that fell through..drat!  at some time this estate must have been in the hands/ belonged to a branch of the Blomvyle Family=hence the name...interesting indeed..

Hi Lady Grace,

Yes I have the 2010 tree and added it to the big one I have but the picture would have been on my old computer and that unofortuantely went 'poof' - I could try and retrieve it but if you have a copy that would be great. (and easier)

I can then print it out and take it to somewhere who will put it on a plaque like yours but the catch is most of them like to work with the artwork they have already and not one persons specifics and this Blomvyle Coat of Arms is not on the regular list.

Hi Amanda,

For you and anyone interested, I have posted a photo of the family crest on my profile - I hope you can see it clearly. I can email a copy if requested.

As I wrote to Grace yesterday, my uncle does not feel able to engage because of logistical issues and prior commitments, but I hope this image will go some way to providing some guidance regarding the appearance of the family crest. I shall also endeavour to discover where it was made.

Hard copies of my mother's side of the family tree should arrive here in a week or so, for those of you which have demonstrated ome interest in getting your hands one.

Regards, Trevor (Brooker)
