de Chazal descendants and the third millennium.
The Spiritual Talisman that Francois de Chazal de la Génesté bequeathed his family is a precious inheritance. His attributes were many: open minded to the world, intellectually non-conformist and creative.
François de Chazal left France on the sailing ship Boutin bound for the Ile de France- Mauritius - from Lorient on the 31st March 1759. He took with him mystical secrets learnt from a protégé of Louis XV, the enigmatic Count of Saint Germain. François, it is said, was the sole repository of these secrets. For my part I believe the family retains some of the alchemy which made him such an exceptional person: brilliant, erudite, influential and a friend to all.
After François de Chazal the family tradition has continued, other prestigious personalities followed on, such as; Toussaint, Malcy, Edmond , Evenor, and more recently Malcolm. We could take credit for the achievements of our forebears but more importantly they give value to, and consolidate our own identity.
At present there are more than a thousand de Chazal, including those related by marriage and blood related, scattered around The World. The aim of this website is to unite us and help us find a balance between our past and the modern world.
