deMouilpied and Blondel Family Coats of Arms

This is the colored version of the de Mouilpied Family Coat of Arms. Also included on the right, is the Coat of Arms from the Blondel family. Thomas de Mouilpied, over in the left column there, was married to Marie Blondel, also pictured over on the left. These are the oldest photos known from the deMouilpied family.

DOUBLE CLICK ON THE COATS AND THEY WILL ENLARGE

Anyway, these coats are from another cousin who had them and aren't they wonderful! This dates back to the late 1500's. As a reminder, this Coat refers to a "Du Port, Seigneur de Mouillepie et de Boismasson."

There are several Blondel Coats but this is the one passed down to Marie. Supposedly there is a Blondel Coat of Arms in the St. Saviour Church on Guernsey up at the top of a column. I am hoping someone will visit the church and report back letting us know if it is the same. As I explained in a previous blog, families would alter Coats as they changed generations and/or families.
