The de la Valliere family

I have always, ...well, nearly always, or rather most of my adult life, wanted to research into my family tree. The Valliere branch being my first option due to the incredibly exciting story, & possibility, of being a descendant of King Louis 14th.... As I have never actually confirmed that my family are of this lineage, I can only sit & wonder - until this week that is.

I had a lovely e-mail from someone asking me how the business got it's name, & were we part of the de La Valliere family. This has prompted me to do some digging & actually start that family tree.

Having been given family trees that other, older, members of my family have compiled I hope to have a good start, albeit these documents are NOT the Valliere trees, I have already e-mailed family in the States to start on my quest.....exciting!!

But I must not digress too much as I have some new designs to get created, old stock & samples to sell ...do you think I will find time to try out my new surfboard??
