Written by BFA historian Mary Bondurant Warren, after numerous researching trips to France and Switzerland, this is a history of the ancient ancestors of our immigrant ancestor, JEAN-PIERRE BONDURANT. He was an apothecary, born in Genolhac, France, who landed at Jamestown, Virginia, on 20 September 1700. A chapter entitled "Our Ancient Ancestors" was contributed by Jeff Duvall, and takes the Bondurant family back 30 generations from Jean-Pierre to Charlemagne. We learn of French, Spanish and Neopolitan ancestors we didn't know we had, and in the process a lot of French history. Along with family history and family trees, photographs of the sites and documents relating to the family, maps, a detailed driving tour of the Languedoc area of southern France allows you to visit at your leisure the important places associated with the Bondurant family ancestors and the Huguenots.
