Early Origins of the Grandin familyThe surname Grandin was first found in Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where they held a family seat in the seigneurie of l'Eprevier. They were one of the leading aristocratic families of Normandy. They also branched to De Grondin, a village in the department of Gers in Aquitaine in the region of the midi-Pyrénées. The Grandin family of American entrepreneurs are generally thought to have emigrated to America from the Isle of Jersey in the Channel Islands in the early 1700s settling in Pleasantville, Venango County, Pennsylvania. The Grandin Brothers, John Livingston Grandin (1836-1912), and William James Grandin (1838-1904) and Elijah Bishop Grandin (1840-1917) rose to become oil prospectors, bankers, financiers and wheat farmers.
