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.

Don’t Cry

         You just might be related to Joan D’Arc.

How could I possibly know this?

By doing my research of course.  

Then a little Birdie told me.

Plus Ancesrty.com used to have a super duper cool feature. 

Hint read my post titled: 

"I found another Prime Fun thing on Ancestry.com"

Then in discovering this link, Thank You to my sister partner in Crime GeGe.  Of course she found it not me. 

I'm so Happy, Happy she did.

Now back to Joan d’Arc I have Canadien French on my mothers family tree.

This connections is 4 stars!   Untill I prove it's incorrect I will enjoy the fun of it.

Through my Mom’s line Joan d’Arc is my Great Grand Aunt Sharing the 27^th Grandparent Isabella Romee De Voutron with her.

       A statue of Joan d'Arc mother Isabella Romee De Voutron (de Voutron means of Voutron).

     In my research from long ago I had felt I had a strong possibility of being related to Joan d’Arc since her family was in Angers France the same time as my line.  Current mis-information on Joan d'Arc has her from the northeast area of France. 

Internet can twist and turn your research form 10+ years ago.  My theory is to save the info print the info and to post on your own blog.  Then you have it recorded for your
