As direct
descendants of L’Seigneur, Jean de Meherence du Montmirel, by his
daughter, Francoise de Meherence du Montmirel, the members of the family
of Geuret dit Dumont have the right to adopt their coat of arm. It is
fitting and desirable that we adopt it. It is a beauty and inspiring in
its simplicity. It is still visible today if you were to go to France
and see the ancestor’s house. It is situated above the main front door.
It is weather beaten but can still be made out.
We can still visit
where Jacques Gueret lived in 1665. It is presently owned by a Levesque
family and has a stable of famous race horses. It is very interesting to
visit.
The Meherence was
one of the most ancient noble families of Bretagne, France. Their origin
goes back to 1350, with Raoul Bouchard de Meherence. One branch settled
in Normandy, in the region of Canchy and took the name of Meherence du
Montmirel. Lord of du Montmirel belongs to "Fais Honneur."
In terms of
Heraldic: L’argent is an emblem of clean honor, L’Azur is the emblem for
perfection, L’Or is the symbol of Generosity, Loyalty and Glory, Fair
Honneur speaks for itself. It shows working toward perfection.
