The Maid Of Orleans

France's Heroine

Joan D’ Arc 

also called  The Maid of Orleans

After I was older and had a chance to really find out about her.

 

I was amazed she was never given Super Star Status.

Mostly because if it were not for her. 

Well I believe the French would have become a country run by English men.  Plop There goes the great migration into French Canada.

I would not be here.  Along with the countless other French descendants of the great French migration [well the French men sent anyway].

What it took for her was more then bravery along with the confidence she held.  

As well held onto her belief that she had angels guiding her.  

What Great faith.

Then after she set the King back on his throne, what becomes of our Heroin?  She is arrested as a Witch.

The French do nothing to free her.  

No instead their Backs are turned against her.  

She is burned at the Stake.

                   Aggghhhhhh!!!

To remember Joan D’Arc is to remember that women as capable to do what is necessary.  

I am so pleased to be a many-times Great Grand Niece too her.  

                         You might be to!

Family Name Eure

Eure family name   

Where does this name originate?

I find a river in northern France that is named Eure.  Does this family name originate in France? 

I do not have the answers to these questions. 

 However I did find a web site with information on the Eure family in England going way, way , way way, way way & way back in time. 

 I went as far today as 1220 with a Sir hugh de Eure.

You know my ma-tra verify before you accept it.  It always a good start when you find a tree that has most of what you yourself have researched.  That you have come to your conclusion you write it down as accepted Fact.  You make note of your source. As always someone else must be able to also look at the same info and be able to make their own conclusion.  Enough preaching on sourcing your info..

the web address as mentioned above is:

As always please share your discoveries with the rest of us seeking out the same family.

Happy Ancestor Hunting
