Welcome to the Guillon family tree website! Tracing the ancestry on my maternal grandfather's side of the family, we have learned that our roots go back, so far, to the 1820s in west-central France.Using Jersey as a stepping stone, the family moved to England in the mid-1800s and dispersed to Plymouth, Bristol, Poole, Brighton and London, and later Manchester, Derby and Nottingham, not to mention Montreal and London again, but this time Ontario, Canada! This website plans to be as much a tool for myself and my family as it does for anyone researching their own ancestry and who could be related in some way. If you think you may be related, please do not hesitate to contact me at the email address given at the bottom of every page. Updates  5th June 2007: Lots of new and exciting developments are coming in thick and fast! Watch this space for updates, coming soon. 27th Sep 2006: Following correspondence with David Simkin at Sussex PhotoHistory, further details concerning Maximilian's life and career as a photographer have come to light. The site has now been updated to reflect the new information. Thanks, David! 15th June 2006: Birth certificates have now been received from the Niort Mairie for Angele and Alexandre (previously referred to as Alphonse). Changes have now been made to the site, including the family tree. |
