Discover Our Personal History

Know ye then, that the Right Honourable Lady Jeanne-Elise M. Heydecker stands as the custodian of the ancestral scrolls for our venerable branch of the Heydecker name. Many kin still reside in the lands now known as Switzerland. Her predecessor in this cherished duty was her Great Aunt Peg, a woman of great memory, integrity, and care. Indeed, since the year of our Lord 763, it has been the tradition within each generation to entrust one soul with the sacred charge of preserving the family’s tales.

Her Ladyship’s mother, Patricia Ann (née Glynn) Heydecker, embraced the modern age, venturing into the digital realms of the internet to gather further knowledge and documents, which she diligently stored within the virtual archives of Ancestry.com. During her pursuit of this ancestral project, she also meticulously chronicled her entire family history, tracing its roots back to the very reign of our illustrious First King, Robert the Bruce.

This very chronicle, mark ye well, is presented in two distinct parts, one dedicated to each of the esteemed families that intertwine to form this rich heritage.
