I have 'Portarlington' by JS Powell pub. Frenchchurch Press, York,1994. There is also an excellent M.A.thesis by Raymond Hylton done at University College Dublin. Unfortunately it has not been published, but I had an opportunity once to read it. Hylton was also a contributor on Portarlington to The Huguenots & Ireland, an anatomy of an emigration pub lished after the conference in Dublin in 1985. Blanc family mentioned in Powell. If you want information email me direct at arabin@wave.co.nz There was a policeman Blong here in Mount Maunganui until last year when he and wife also in police moved to Australia.
