You're wrong.
...You may want to check Patrick Van Kerrebrouck volumes of the "Nouvelle Histoire de l'Auguste Maison de France" to find proof of this.
Or you may just want to read this message carefully, so as not to contradict it with the very arguments it disproves.
Ouch. Reading old posts is
like being in a time capsule.
Leomichael, this I believe was your last post in 2006 and sadly ended in a challenge. I think that was the time I was around in here and started to fade away, part because of life and work and now I recall partly because of getting exhausted reading ping pong challenges like the above.
Re the Dukes of Lorraine and ancestry in general. Back in the 2006 Royal Forum none of us had an idea in a few more years technology and DNA would advance so fast and be accessible to so many. I'm glad I got to live this long (I'm only 63 now) to get to return back to these old threads and find out all the new information we have today to clarify heritage and historical lines.
Note aside: When I saw the map posted by An Ard Ari, my first thought was the area of Normandy where my spouse and in-laws recently traced as part of their past, too after 4 years of research online done by several senior family members here in NY, where their Dutch, and
one Norwegian lady named Aneeke Jans, ancestors arrived to New Amsterdam and descendants moved and propagated upstate to own farms they still have to this very day. Reason when we retired in Connecticut, we moved to upstate NY to do a full circle on the past, even though those are my in-law ancestors. My own
wild ancestors, per the DNA and family research online, were more northern Spain and Mediterranean people.
And, to continue the amazing time capsule thread questions from 2006 with updated 2023 visuals, here's a fascinating YouTube history fan-made Documentary on the lady in question. Enjoy!
And some more interesting history maps
