Jaunay
This is the Jaunay One-name Study Home Page presented by Graham Jaunay
I hope that this site will assist:
to re-establish lost links between members of the family,
to encourage pride in our name and its history, and,
to research our family tree and share this knowledge with one another.
The name Jaunay originates from France. François Marie Jaunay fled the Revolution and established Jaunay's Hotel in Leicester Square London on the site of the Odeon Theatre. The Jaunays had long been associated with the nobility. François father, Jean Baptiste Jaunay was a member of the Prince de Condé household and an earlier ancestor had been the king's secretary in 1700. François had three children. Emma married Paul Krug the founder of Krug Champagne, the world's best champagne. Louisa married Adolphe Jacquesson also a champagne maker. Louis Brunet Jaunay was also a champagne maker and his son, my great grandfather, Frank, came to Australia in 1894 to help the local industry make sparkling wines.
