Hi Elizabeth, Many years ago I was reading about lace making - I have my Swedish grandmother's lace making pillow and wanted to know more. As I recall, many Swedish women made lace and much of it was sold to the Belgians and Dutch. Clarke's mention of the name sounding like a Dutch name, brought it to mind and perhaps it might help with your search.

De Flon is apparently French and although some of this thread is in Swedahoovian, you can easily follow most of it. http://aforum.genealogi.se/discus/messages/576/104220.html?1057151917 As far as "what country does De Flon come from" this is interesting :-) <begin snip> - Johan Constant de Flon, b in Bourdeaux France, marries in Liège (in the then French-speaking Spanish Netherlands) Maria Gilliusdotter De Besche, whose family, stemming from the same area, had immigrated to Sweden <end snip> Interesting stuff...
