Lignay History
Dear friends:
I would like to know which are the true origins of the LIGNAY family.
I did read already that the LIGNAY family has british and flemish origins.
I have an ancestor that was born in Portugal in the 17th century with the surname LIGNAY.
I also know that the descendants of the LIGNAY family did migrate to several countries including Chile.
If any person with the surname LIGNAY or other persons read this message i would like that this same person or these same persons tell me everything about the true origins of the LIGNAY family if possible.
I discovered already that the families LIGNAY, LINGEN and LIGNY are exactly the same family. For example, their armorial bearings are exactly equals. I also discovered that there were important and noble persons linked to the family LIGNY (some of them are linked to the House of Luxembourg and House of Luxembourg-Ligny) from the Middle Ages, etc.
All i know about the origins of the LIGNAY, LINGEN and LIGNY families i got it mainly through this genealogical Web site:
