Welcome to The Tijou Family Ancestry Page
This page is dedicated to the tijou family heritage that I am a part of. The knowledge of my heritage has been passed down to me by my Grandmother, Patricia Jean Stroop. I hope in the future to be able to describe the lineage n detail. For now I can proudly display the family crest.
The picture to the left is the crest as it was painted on a wooden shield. It is one of the family treasures. I scanned the shield and then slowly changed the wooden background to the white one shown here. My grandmother said she had it painted in France by a a "real" Frenchman. I have tried to keep as much of the detail intact.
I can also tell you that one of my
ancestors did the gates that I have displayed at the entrance to this website. He was a master wrought iron worker and also did the gates at St Paul's Cathedral in London.
