I descend from Anne CONVENT, wife of Philippe AMIOT-VILLENEUVE and daughter of Antoinette de LONGVAL & Guillaume CONVENT. It is through Antoinette de LONGVAL that my noble and royal lines come from (she would be my "gateway" ancestor). Antoinette's parents are Charles de LONGVAL, whose parents are not known at this time, and Louise de JOYEUSE. See the attached lineage chart for her ancestry. I would be glad to hear from anyone who is researching these families.
