I'm looking for any information about the Herlidan family of France, particularly of Britanny. My great grandfather stowed away on a boat from Brest and landed in Newfoundland, Canada. His name was Jean(John) Herlidan. The surname is only currently found on the South Coast of Newfoundland, and no where else in Canada. If anyone has any information about the family or the surname I would love to hear from you!

Thanks,
Vicki Mahar

Hi there, I noticed you replied to my posting, and realized it was the wrong spelling. Is there a connection between your surname and Newfoundland, Canada? Sometimes, families as they move to different locations, the spelling is changed. Perhaps that was the case here? So, I was still wondering, if you had thought there might be a connection.

Thanks,
Vicki

Hi Vicki
I'm your cousin,and I have a little information on the Herlidan surname. I've contacted a man in the United States who came to the USA about 10 years ago and says his great uncle still lives in Brest , France. He also said his great uncle was trying to trace the family history. He does not spell his last name the same way as we do.

Hi again
Sorry its been awhile. I remember the picture well that hung at Aunt Lottie's House. Its a very nice picture.
I have an e-mail address for a man in the U. S. who just happens to have come from France about 11 years ago. I've corresponded with him but he doesn't have a lot of information. He said his great uncle was compiling information on the family name. If we have any questions,we can email him the info and he can forward it on to his great uncle. His great uncle does not have email, as far as he knew.

Hi Joan,

I'm still trying to gather ancestry info. By any chance do you have the email address for the man you were chatting with from the US? I would love to know if his great uncle has any new info.

Thanks,
Vicki
