Related to Joan d'Arc

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

Lumber Jacks & Loggers " White Pine Era" In Michigan in 1840-1900 Booklet from Rolland H, Maybee

MICHIGAN WHITE PINE ERA... White Pine Was King

Milled white pine turned into an excellent working material for building.

Did you have an Ancestor that came to Michigan to work as a LumberJack? 

Michigan Logging Rivers

White Pine Era

White Pine the Pine highly sought after for its better quality.  Michigan was full of White Pine.

The rivers used in Michigan logging of White Pine were: Ontonagan, Menominee, Ford, Escanaba, Sturgean, Manistique, Tahquemenon, Chebogan, Black, Thunder, Au Sable, Boardman, Betsie, Manistee, Pine, Little Manistee, Pere Marquette, Muskegon, Molasses, Rifle, Au Gres, White, Tobacco, Chippewa, Tittabawassee, Cass, Saginaw, Bad, Shiawassee, Flint, Lower Black, Flat, Rogue, Grand Rivers.

Geneaolgy and Chess Game

                                    Chess

Recently I read the book"Queen of Katwe" A true story of a very young chess champion.  Has me thinking.

How many of you have played or still play chess.  In family history are we not kinda doing the same.  The King is the elusive Ancestor.  We are moving around, could be physically or sitting on your bottom using the internet.  Seeking out that ancestor who we believe is the right one.

Ah how happy we are not to have taken a DRAW,  that when we actually win this very long tedious game of ancestor chess we are successful in adding the correct name into our tree.

I learned chess when I was a teen babysitting for one of my regular babysitting jobs.  The mom was German.  She had been teaching the children.  The daughter Brenda, set me on the road to chess.  I could not get my siblings interested.  There were no chess clubs at school.  I learned as much as I could I tried to improve my game by reading the extremely boring old people chess book. 

I would teach what I knew mostly to children, it was great when they could surpass me.

Then when I had my own children I taught them to play chess .  My older son excelled in it. 

I have not played in a long time on a board,  cause now I play the ancestral game of catch the ancestor.

How does Haplogroups, You and Disease Exist in the same body.

Worth looking into for you and your decendants.

Did you do your DNA yet?

Did you know you can find out which Haplogroup your from.

Here is a explanation of it from Wikipedia:

 Haplogroup  What is That!???

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...A haplotype is a group of alleles in an organism that are inherited together from a single parent,^[1][2] and a haplogroup (haploid from the Greek: ἁπλοῦς, haploûs, "onefold, simple" and English: Group) is a group of similar haplotypes that share a common ancestor with a single-nucleotide polymorphism mutation.^[3][4] More specifically, a haplogroup is a combination of alleles at different chromosomal regions that are closely linked and that tend to be inherited together. As a haplogroup consists of similar haplotypes, it is usually possible to predict a haplogroup from haplotypes. Haplogroups pertain to a single line of descent. As such, membership of a haplogroup, by any individual, relies on a relatively small proportion of the genetic material possessed by that individual.

.

Then did you know your Haplogroup can determine if you can get certain illnesses, as explained here:

::Population Genetics and Disease Susceptibility: Characterization of Central European Haplogroups By mtDNA Gene Mutations, Correlation with D Loop Variants and Association With Disease

Their Abstract as follows: 

Abstract

Mitochondrial (mt)DNA haplogroups in a German control group (n = 67) were characterized by screening mitochondrial coding regions encompassing most of the ND, tRNA and cyt b genes. We used a PCR-SSCP screening approach followed by direct sequencing of polymorphic mtDNA fragments. Five major mtDNA lineages, diverging in at least nine different haplogroups, could be defined by characteristic polymorphic sites in mitochondrial genes. Additional sequencing of two hypervariable segments (HVS-I and II) of the non-coding displacement (D) loop in all control subjects revealed that certain D loop variants were strongly correlated with lineages and haplogroups, while others represented hotspots occurring frequently in different haplogroups. The existence of identified lineages and haplogroups received support from data in the literature, obtained by use of different approaches. Subsequently, we investigated four disease groups for association with these haplogroups: (i) LHON patients (n = 55) carrying at least one of the primary/intermediate LHON mutations at nt 3460, 11778, 14484 and/or 15257; (ii) patients suffering from Wolfram or DIDMOAD syndrome(n = 8); (iii) MELAS patients (n = 9); (iv) a group of children, who died from ‘sudden infant death syndrome’ (SIDS) (n = 9). The distribution patterns among the haplogroups of the disease groups (LHON, DIDMOAD and SIDS) differed considerably from the control population. LHON and DIDMOAD were significantly under-represented in the most frequent German haplogroup DC, but were concentrated in a mtDNA lineage defined by polymorphisms at nt 4216+11251+16126. As this lineage diverged into two precisely defined haplogroups, LHON and DIDMOAD could be assigned to the two haplogroups separately. Strikingly, SIDS was often found in association with two rare German haplogroups. MELAS patients were equally distributed among German haplogroups and, moreover, did not reveal any accumulation of specific D loop variants. We conclude that certain European mtDNA haplogroups define a genetic susceptibility basis for various disorders.

As you see in the abstract they are very telling illnesses/disease that have all to do with your Haplogroup.  Amazing and sad as stated in the abstract with SIDS.

So can your Haplogroup also keep you from becoming ill from Pandemics? I tried to find this out. There are no current studies on it.  Who knows in a few short years someone may take an interest as we might learn a result then. 

So you did do your DNA!  Did you know there is a service that can provide you with many answers?  I uploaded my raw DNA in a service called Prometheus.  It can tell you what color eyes you should have.  I had to share with them that nope my eyes are not so yellow as they say.  

It has all kinds of information to help you out.  Mine wtells me I'll have Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. Exactly what happened after I was menopausal.

Covid Pandemic and ETC...

 So your Ancestor created you before sub-coming to a Pandemic. 

That's great because here you are.  There are still babies being created and born here in Covid-19 times.   How many of them will remember the pandemic Covid-19 and pass the lessons learned to the New Generations?

   We can be sure most likely we will not be around.  Write in your journals.  Keep your story going.
