Spotlight on the The Fonblanques of England and France with Emma Cox Posted 9 March 2023 by Julie GoucherShield of Johannes Fonblanque, 1808, courtesy of Emma Cox The September webinar is shining a spotlight on the Fonblaques One-Name Study. During this session we explore the Fonblanques of England and France; from Huguenot glassblowing in France to banking, law, writing and diplomacy in England in the 18th and 19th century. “Gentilhomme Verriers”, the Huguenot Fonblanque family were persecuted in France and sent two sons to England to escape. This is the story of their origins and descendants. We also explore researching Huguenot ancestry and researching genealogy in England and France.
