hello, my name is Pamela Mitchell and my grandmother's name was also Ethel L'Hommedieu. That was her maiden name. She married William Blinn. I grew up in Brooklyn next door to her and I remember that she had at least 2 brothers, one who lived with her and my grandfather and one who would visit occasionally. I am going to visit my mother this weekend and will ask her for names. She was one of Ethel's children.I had heard a story that the name was given to the family by Joan of Arc and I was wondering if this was true. Thank You
