Hello Daniel. Your search for the connection to Pierre Jean Blanchard is shared with many of us. It appears to have been referenced (at this time) from genealogy work of my grt. grandfather, H. Percy Blanchard. I have been trying to find the source of this info prior to coming into contact with others of this list but have found nothing concrete in our shared searches. Many would look at this as myth, folklore, or a romantic tint added to their lineage as no actual record(s) have been noted or recorded. When the Group was formed, one main aspect was the hope of finding any elusive info in regard to this sector of our trees. Nothing regarding this has come to light as yet, but many of us have discovered distant cousins and I, myself, have recieved many helpful messages about others back in different time periods. Most of the personal work of H. Percy was destroyed through such things as disinterested family members and of all things 'house cleaning' after his death. Very little of his actual handwritten material survived. When the family started to update it as for our family, my father was not even among the pages. Yours in the search also, Rannie Blanchard - Mt. Uniacke, N.S Descendent of 'Joseph' and Ann of 1637
