As well as investigating my direct ancestors I am also researching my cousins line who are Blundons from Newfoundland and later Nova Scotia. There is an enormous amount of information contained within the Newfoundland Gen Web andthe Grand Banks site, but I have not yet come across an online attempt to produce a family tree from the hundreds of Blundon/Blunden records shown. It appears that Florance Cowan (Blundon) from BDV, who has provided most of the transcriptions on these sites may have assembled more about this family but I have not seen it.

These pages first created Jan 2003 will attempt to post specific Blundon / Blunden information, particularly family trees, in an effort to make sense of the hundreds of B.M.D. records listed. Since that time several researchers have kindly shared their family information so that as of Dec 2008 my main data base has over 850 individuals descended from or related to the original Blundens of B de V.

Throughout the 18^th & 19^th Centurys the spellings gradually changed from Blunden to Blundon and were often used interchangeably depending upon who entered the information. It appears from the 1935 Census that by that time the majority of families were using the latter spelling, these list may not reflect those changes. Corrections and additions are always welcome.

Here is what I have so far, if you can add to it or require more information you may contact me by EMail

I will be pleased to post any information provided so that we can expand this family tree.
