I added biographical information from one (in French) and one (in Italian) source, with formal references. The 5-page FR profile[1] includes a box (p13) with vital data that partly supports and may be a source for the 1-page Infobridge.IT resume[2]. The latter provides some blunderful English-language version at the foot of the page (not via Google Translate, which does a job obviously better). Indeed, the Infobridge English opens "Willard was born in Paris", a gross clash with the Italian original. Don't rely on it.
Husband. Francoise or François? He is/was a director, international director, bridge tournament director? international (EBL or WBF?) bridge-tournament director?
Father. according to grasset.com.fr via Google Translate "international chief referee of the French Bridge Federation, several times champion of France, for many years, abandoned the high competition to concentrate on the organization and management of events bridge." = international tournament director of the French federation? what's that, wh seems national to me?
Grasset is the publisher of his 1972 book "with the technical collaboration of Gérard Desrousseaux [3][4] -P64
... Perhaps a bridge "champion of France" in the sense USA has zillions of national champions. WBF and EBL player databases hit only Blandine Bajos de Heredia (at WBF) identically on search for 'Bajos de Heredia', 'Bajos', and 'Heredia' --Sylvie's sister, evidently [5]. -P64
Birthdate. IT source gives birthdate August (Agosto). FR.wiki fr:Sylvie Willard gives September without a source. I don't find the month or day, skimming our FR source that I can't read. PL.wiki pl:Sylvie Willard gives September, perhaps following FR.wiki, but provides External link to evidently-official Sport Accord World Mind Games "Athlete Information" [6] that gives August. So I/we say August for now!
--that is now formal source [ref name=SAWMG] -P64
Birthname. maybe Bajos de Heredia, Sylvie? Heredia, Sylvie de?
Geni.com shows Bajos de Heredia for the father, evidently completed by a family member if not himself [7].
bridge barred from the home "as a threat to education", I stated here this hour, unwilling to glean more from [ref name=quantin] via Google Translate. IBdH invited Sylvie to play with him "only at age 18" is clear, as now stated here, but I believe the point is that she had completed her baccalaureate, not the 18th birthday.
At least for Willard, Polish Wikipedia (PL.wiki) pl:Sylvie Willard#Przypisy provides detail references to WBF results database views or dedicated tournament subsites (and similarly a few at Euro-level). Many (or all?) PL.wiki links are up-to-date since a major reorganization at WBF that renders most of our world championships references {dead} (compare en:Venice Cup#References).
