Genealogy
OVERVIEW
Genealogy Without Tears
Genealogy Writes You into the Story of History
"To let each impression and each embryo of a feeling come to completion, entirely in itself, in the dark, in the unsayable, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own understanding, and with deep humility and patience to wait for the hour when a new clarity is born: this alone is what it means to live as an artist: in understanding as in creating."
--Rainer Maria Rilke
"Through scientific understanding, our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos. He is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional participation in natural events, which hitherto had a symbolic meaning for him. Thunder is no longer the voice of a god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree makes a man's life, no snake is the embodiment of wisdom and no mountain still harbors a great demon. Neither do things speak to him nor can he speak to things, like stones, springs, plants and animals. His immediate communication with nature is gone forever, and the emotional energy it generated has sunk into unconscious."
~Carl Jung, Collected Works 18, Paragraph 585
You Get the Genealogy You Deserve
Life and consciousness are the ultimate emergent phenomena, but we still don't know their real origin, which remains veiled in Mystery. We are Cosmic psychophysical beings with a core reaching down into the microcosm of quantum dynamics and the still center of Zero-Point. The zero-point of our genealogy is the Ur-ancestral couple lost to the mists of pre-history.
Beyond hormonal and limbic impulses and narratives of the biological imperative of procreation -- why or why not and when or with whom to create -- consciousness informs the inception of new life. Our reasons for giving birth are often unconscious. Each of us was conceived and each of us continues to conceive everyday. Conscious conception is the ritual of thought, prayer, energy, sex, and work around the event birth. Just as we can benefit from processing work around our own births, we can learn from the stories of our progenitors.
In the split second moment of conception, the two streams of genetic information from your parents, handed on from generation to generation over literally hundreds of millennia, combined in one single cell embodying your unique potential. It ensured that you became an unequaled living record of the lives and ways of your ancestors.
All of your ancient ancestors had one thing in common -- they were survivors who overcame daunting obstacles and hardships in their natural world. Your DNA is a legacy passed down to you from thousands of generations of fittest individuals. You have the best of their collective genes, all meticulously spelled out within the DNA of your genome.
Your individual DNA fingerprint depends on how the chromosomes line up at conception. Some traits from both parents’ potentials will be there, while others get excluded. So, some siblings can be redheads, others not; some can have family medical problems, others not, some may be Rh neg., others not. Extensive historical knowledge of cultural practices and human migratory patterns helps us piece each story together. We may find things we never imagined and find no evidence for traits known within our lineage.
Each individual is very much like the fractal units of every individual human being, yet is distinctly different in many dimensions--genetically, in a biological dimension. But each individual also resides in many dimensional worlds--some in academic worlds, some in spiritual worlds, some in political worlds, some in worlds of despair and some in worlds of optimism. Some individuals share like worlds and are polarized by some worlds.
A child and parents are fractal levels of a family tree and at the same time units of a larger community fractal, and may be a fractal unit of a religious group or political affiliation within that set. This same child, parents, the community are all fractals of county, state, national fractals and may be fractal units of sets within any of these larger fractals--organizations, spiritual affiliations, clubs, special interest groups, schools, workplaces, etc.
In genealogy the term direct line refers to a relationship of one person to another in a direct line. A direct-line ancestor is someone from whom you descend in a direct line, parent to child, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc. Direct-line research refers to genealogy research focused on one's direct-line ancestors. Blood relations refer to the underground stream, the Red River of Memories that flows within us. The Blood is real and it's fresh; it flows in your veins.
By contrast, collateral line is a term used to describe family relationships not in the direct line of descent such as siblings, spouses and children of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Researching direct-line ancestry is a common focus of genealogists and family history researchers. Proving a direct line of descent is generally required for membership in heritage societies. A mere seven generations back we have over 200 people in just our immediate, or father-mother, grandfather-grandmother line.
We are not just talking about the way you look, but about your ancestral memories, the complete set of instincts and response patterns that were responsible for the survival of those two genetic streams in the first place. The instincts and response patterns that you were actually born with are what Jung called the Collective Unconscious. Science calls it epigenetics. Genealogy functions as a therapeutic portal, much like dreams or symptoms allow us to enter the imaginal dimension.
We are born with both a psychological and a biological heritage, as determinants of behavior and experience. The collective unconscious, which results from experiences that are common to all people, also includes material from our prehuman and animal ancestry. It is the source of our most powerful ideas and experiences.
Jung described individual and collective symbols. Symbols veil what remains hidden to us. He called individual symbols "natural" symbols -- spontaneous productions of the individual psyche, rather than images or designs created deliberately. Personal symbols are found in dreams and fantasies. But, important collective symbols appear which are often religious images such as the cross, the six-pointed Star of David, the Grail, and the Buddhist wheel of life.
Jung says, "Just as the human body represents a whole museum of organs, each with a long evolutionary period behind it, so we should expect to find that the mind is organized in a similar way. It can no more be a product without history than is the body in which it exists" (1964, p. 67).
Quo Vadis?
Fundamentally, genealogy is a search for Self -- universal spirit. Your personal family tree merges with the collective in The World Tree. The goal is creating a single family tree for the world. The World Wide Web has made such collaboration possible, creating a single world family tree.
In mythology the World Tree is the axis between heaven and earth. Many people believed that gods and their messengers climbed up and down the tree to get from one realm to the other. Sometimes these trees were said to bear fruit that was powerful for healing or knowledge. Among those who study myths and legends, this type of tree is known as a “World Tree” or a “Cosmic Tree.”
The world tree is a universal symbol. It’s primary meaning is creation and consciousness (the divine will of creation). The growing of the the tree is the symbol of the creation of the Universe and its Evolution -- a Tree of Life. This was the symbol of the Druids (meaning “tree”). They believed that in the branches of the tree you could discern the secrets of the universe.
Some are armchair genealogists, while others hit the genealogy trail, making their life a perpetual pilgrimage and search by visiting family domiciles and sacred sites. Many search for relics or novel solutions to riddles they pose to themselves. It is a way of connecting the psychological dots into a seemingly coherent story, one that keeps the narrative moving forward while it looks back.
Some write novels that filter information and scenes through the consciousness of their characters. There are battles and leaders, matriarchs, patriarchs and malefactors. Others create esoteric organizations, usually with themselves set up as authority figures. They hook those who are susceptible to the promise of Mystery. Most such groups devolve into banal cults of personality, which all seem to share the same squabbles and organizational problems.
Some are convinced only they know the real truth of the matter. But you cannot really tell anyone anything, due to the brain's hardwiring. Research shows that in the public realm, a lack of information isn't the real problem. The hurdle is how our minds work, no matter how smart we think we are. We rationalize what our emotions already want to believe. Do facts matter? The answer, basically, is no. When people are misinformed, giving them facts to correct those errors only makes them cling to their beliefs more tenaciously.
Further, most exposés of the knowledge of the underground stream are materialistic interpretations of it. They claim to empower you while lining their pockets. Some of this may be compensatory to lack of power in other areas of life. Claims to shift world vision seem more of a self-serving perception than a reality -- more memes than genes.
Cognitive dissonance occurs when we filter our perceptions to screen out (deny) threatening information we cannot deal with. It is magical thinking to take a symbol to be its referent or an analogy to represent an identity. Magical thinking comes from an instinctual search and recognition of patterns, and regards symbols not as representations but as handles attached firmly to real-life objects and outcomes. Out of context, symbols are ineffectual. Evocative “power” is one of the attractive aspects of the meme concept which is also a symbol and signifiers of meaning that are context dependent.
There are three types of symbols: 1) Symbols that reflect intrinsic mental states; 2) Symbols that stand in for extrinsic (actual or objective) conditions or objects, and 3) Symbols that stand in relation to cultural artifacts, or constructs, or memes. Here the symbol and the object it represents are one and the same. Any distinction between symbol and symbolized is spurious. The emotional projection of symbols, or “magical thinking,” happens in psychosis, in cultures, and subcultures. Disgust is an emotion heavily caught up in symbolic and magical thinking. Yet, symbols can have biophysical and material effects. We trick ourselves into mobilization.
Magical thinking helps us feel more secure in an unpredictable world. By manipulating symbols, we imagine being able to manipulate the reality that a symbol represents, but it makes us vulnerable to manipulation, too. The psychology of superstition “works” better in a virtuality. Superstition provides the illusion of increased control. Symbols are captivating, indistinct, metaphoric and enigmatic portrayals of psychic reality. The content, i.e. the meaning of symbols, is far from obvious; instead, it is expressed in unique and individual terms while at the same time partaking of universal imagery. Our society is having to rethink such fundamental notions as money, security, growth and many other bases of our current worldview.
Symbols can be recognized as aspects of those images that control, order and give meaning to our lives. The source of symbols can be traced to the archetypes themselves which by way of symbols find more full expression. Symbols are thus one type of what Jung called “archetypal images,” that is, the representation in consciousness of an underlying archetype. The anamorphic is not the fractal, because the fractal is repeating a pattern.
When the dominant vision that holds a period of culture together cracks, consciousness regresses into earlier containers, seeking sources for survival which also offer sources of revival. Self-empowerment can be entangled with self-delusion. We can no longer distinguish clearly between neurosis of self and neurosis of world, psychopathology of self and psychopathology of world. Species-wide trauma is playing out on the world stage. We compulsively recreate individual and collective trauma, perhaps as a way to awaken ourselves. Such madness is its own ritual and revelation. (Miller, Holographic Archetypes)
Perhaps the biggest value of questionable literature is that people now search elsewhere for their own half-remembered origins.
Many who claim to guard the history actually prey on their vulnerable kinsmen. So we must look at the effects of such behavior rather than relying on proclamations. There have been many blatant hoaxes. It begs the question, "Where is this leading?". In many cases, the answer is nowhere. Reinterpreting sacred sites with idiosyncratic tropes doesn't make it so. Nor does finding out what the Templars or Cathars were doing substitute for one's own individuation and may work against it, fitting a modern person into an obsolete mold.
These overwrought works mostly regurgitate the symbolic understanding developed more completely in depth psychologies, applying skewed versions to the selected symbols, often from New Age thought, another faddish collective movement which mostly rehashes theosophical notions. There isn't much "new" about it. If such critique sounds like tough love it is because it comes from close observation of the effects of such subcultures. Schisms and tragedy have been the result, not illumination unless you count disillusionment as such.
Following pilgrimage routes, such as "the Camino" may be stimulating but will likely never be illuminating. It doesn't substitute for the work of self-discovery in the cave of the heart. Overlaying such sites with new age gloss doesn't improve the clarity of the situation and may just add irrelevant data. Our attunement to the world is especially influenced by culture and society, whether we call it human potential or human illusion.
In some cases, pilgrimage is another form of what is termed the geographic escape. There are many writers eager to host such trips for their own benefit. It has become a thriving cottage industry whether the goal is ancient aliens or earth chakras. That doesn't mean there is no value in such travel or mystery centers, but it doesn't supersede the inner work and may lead to flooding and inflation. Sentience is not the same as sentimentality. But people will do what they are going to do. All things seek their own level.
Ultimately, individuation is a solitary pursuit, a mode of experience that opens the door to the otherwise hidden world. To Edward Edinger (1972), individuation means not having to continually repeat the cycle, but to develop conscious dialogues between I and Self. Without a displaced religious obsession there is little reason to pursue the lies, theories or directives of others over one's own creative genius. Ultimately, the real issue with the bloodline has always been about the concept of "sovereignty".
It isn't merely our royal genealogy that makes us who we are. After all, we share most of it with millions of people. Still, there is no better way of actively working within your ancestral matrix than delineating and curating your own lines. What is unique is our personal reaction to such knowledge and how our relationship with it evolves as we assimilate and integrate that expanded awareness -- the Mystery of the whole matter.
Genealogy is the root of the hieros gamos or symbolic royal marriage. The rich variety of psycho-physical hierosgamic themes are illustrated in many alchemical works, illustrating simultaneous humanity and divinity. The hierosgamos union of opposites between human and divine is mediated by Mercurius, the Hermetic method, or hermeneutics. It requires interpretation of experiential material. For example, originally, the dove was a symbolic attribute of ancient female divinities of Mesopotamia.
We need To Know genealogy much like we need to know physics and psychology to comprehend what matter is, as well as what makes us matter. We have thousands of ancestors whose lines are not preserved, making the small slice of royal descent largely archetypal as well as material. The part stands for the Whole - the cosmic process.
In a Gnostic exercise for inner growth the personal mind must be made empty or void of all preconceptions, but at the same time become keenly attentive, transformed into pure sense, or capacity for greater sensations. The soul must be in a searching frame of mind, searching not inquiring, that is to say synthetic not analytic. Inquiry suggests penetrating into a thing with the personal mind; while searching denotes embracing and seizing ideas, "eating" or "digesting" or "absorbing" them, so to say; getting all round them and making them one’s own, surrounding them--it is no longer a question of separated subject and object as with the personal and analyzing mind.
The "vision" of the soul is, literally, the "eye" of the soul. The mind must be emptied of every
object, so that it may receive the fullness. It becomes the "pure eye," the æon, all-eye; not,
however, to perceive anything other than itself, but to understand the nature of understanding -- namely, that it transcends all distinctions of subject and object. Silence nurtures the divine -- The Great Silence and the Holy Fire. The One Body of all thing is the
Mother of souls, the Inbreather of life -- cosmic "vitalizing," or "quickening," or "ensouling".
Union of Opposites
The body is the alchemical laboratory that generates the subtle body, astral vehicle, and the Body of Light or Diamond Body as the highest vehicle. Consciousness is drawn up with sublimation. The elixir of life transforms body and consciousness.
The tensional relationship of the opposites, (life and death, good and evil, one and many), remains the great operational mechanism of manifest life and of transformation. This relationship exists within the context of a unitary world-model wherein matter and spirit, King and Queen, appear as aspects of a psychoid (psychophysical) realm of reality.
In alchemy the resurrection stands not for transcendence of the body, but its glorification and perfection. Alchemy is the art of seeing what is invisible to others, hearing what others are deaf to, and feeling what others are dead to. Sophia, the Divine Feminine, personifies that World Soul, of inherent primordial Wisdom.
We are affected not only by things that happen to us personally, but also by things that have happened in our lineage, to our parents, grandparents and ancestors. Epigenetics shows that the traumas that happened within our culture affect us. Ironically, this is more so when they have been forgotten, relegated to the unconscious realm, where they can cause physical symptoms, phobias, depression, nightmares and other unexplained things.
Another genealogical form of opposites is twins or siblings. They are there from the beginning, as Enki and Enlil, as Cain and Abel. Such myths arose in the age of Gemini, the Celestial Twins.
They were destined to become the most prolific progenitors of the world. Their offspring divided in two. Those that went east to cross the Bering Strait, to become the most prominent inhabitants of the New World as far as Tierra del Fuego, were the descendants of one brother, while the numerous descendants of the other brother that remained created a shock-wave in the Old World, felt as far as West Africa, the Atlantic and India.
Like in a fantasy tale, both people founded incredible civilizations, each highlights of human talent and splendor. Tales of the Two Brothers persisted in myth and legend, representing the dichotomy of all polarities and their underlying transcendental unity. This is a story of the reunion of the archetypal brothers.
Legends of the Two Brothers arose in the Age of Gemini (6000 BC - 4000 BC) and come down in the story of Cain and Able, which was historically preceded by allegorical stories of Enki and Enlil. Each Age has its gods. The Age of Gemini corresponded to the flourishing period of early Hinduism.
It was under this sign that Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu was manifested by the birth of the two pair of brothers: Rama and Lakshmana on the one hand, Satrughna and Bharata on the other. Rama Himself had twin sons: Lav and Kush.
Lav went to Russia; from this we get the name of Slav. The other son, Kush went to China, hence we get the name Kushan. These two divine principles were also incarnated as Buddha and Mahavira, then as Adi Shankaracharya and Gnyaneshwara. In other Avatars they were Hassan and Hussein, the sons of Fatima and Hazrat Ali.
The Quest
Joseph Campbell asks, "What is it we are questing for? It is the fulfillment of that which is potential in each of us. Questing for it is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself. There is nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence; in this way you will find, live, become a realization of your own personal myth."
The Quest for wholeness is the search for meaning, orientation, renewal, and transformation. By making the trauma in our lineage and in our culture more conscious, we can loosen its hold. This helps us to restore a sense of our own self and our own freedom of choice, and allows what is not ours to rest in peace. Thus, genealogy is a kind of healing ritual, which retrieves the lost and disowned parts of the soul, what we've buried in the earth and forgotten.
Thus your soul is your own self in the spiritual world. As the abode of the spirits, however, the spiritual world is also an outer world. Just as you are also not alone in the visible world, but are surrounded by objects that belong to you and obey only you, you also have thoughts that belong to you and obey only you. But just as you are surrounded in the visible world by things and beings that neither belong to you nor obey you, you are also surrounded in the spiritual world by thoughts and beings of thought that neither obey you nor belong to you.
Just as you engender or bear your physical children, and just as they grow up and separate themselves from you to live their own fate, you also produce or give birth to beings of thought which separate themselves from you and live their own lives.
Just as we leave our children when we grow old and give our body back to the earth, I separate myself from my God, the sun, and sink into the emptiness of matter and obliterate the image of my child in me. This happens in that I accept the nature of matter and allow the force of my form to flow into emptiness. Just as I gave birth anew to the sick God through my engendering force, I henceforth animate the emptiness of matter from which the formation of evil grows.
Nature is playful and terrible. Some see the playful side and dally with it and let it sparkle. Others see the horror and cover their heads and are more dead than alive. The way does not lead between both, but embraces both. It is both cheerful play and cold horror. (Jung, Red Book)
Genealogy is like organic gardening. We till the soil until things break through the surface where we tend and fertilize them with creative expression and contemplation. Living branches of our Tree become knotted together generating many leaves. Entwined with roses and thorns they represent the complexities of life, including the union of opposites. At the microcosmic level they may represent quantum entanglement. All macroscopic parts of the world are entangled quantum mechanically. Entanglement is a property of nonlocal quantum information exchange.
Jung pointed out that procreative power is only a special instance of the ‘procreative nature of the Whole', as illustrated in alchemical works such as the Rosarium Philosophorum, which depicts a symbolic hieros gamos, combining the powers of the upper and lower worlds, leading out the gold. We acquire an experiential understanding of the ontological wholeness of the cosmos and know we are in no way separate from that. Such non-duality that closes the gap between spirit and body was the magnificent obsession of the alchemists as it is of the mystics.
Eliade wrote, "The Sun and the Moon must be made one. . .above all, prajna, wisdom, must be joined with upaya, the means of attaining it. . .all this amounts to saying we are dealing with the coincidentia oppositorum achieved on every level of Life and Consciousness."
Chaos becomes cosmos; the profane becomes sacred; potential is actualized. Alchemical tracts bookend the entire alchemical process between an initial and final image. Opening and closing illustrations frame the psycho-physical transformation. Like dreams and moods, the fruits of personal insight and practical guidance affect us physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and/or spiritually, and become part of our being.
Death, afterlife beliefs, mediumship, and spirit possession are contentious subjects. Belief is a open-ended system. Anomalous experiences can arise as a function of relational care or concern. In a genealogical approach, we have no burden to prove the source of psi phenomena or synchronicities.
A Jungian approach is more concerned with their meaning in the life of the person who reports the phenomena. You cannot argue with anyone's belief or experience. It can be approached literally, metaphorically, or symbolically. Metaphors are paradoxical. Like Jung we take a phenomenological approach, looking backwards and forward at the same time. Jung's theory of possession by autonomous complexes differs from notions of possession within specific belief systems.
Social Anthropologist, Fiona Bowie writes: "Virtually all other cultures hold to the notion, based on the experience of individuals and groups, that the Self, if it exists at all, is permeable, and in constant contact and relationship with other selves at a psychic as well as a physical and emotional level. Communications may be unconscious or conscious, mediated by others or unmediated, wanted or unsought, but they exist nonetheless, and come in many different forms, with different results and effects. They involve communication between living humans and those who have died, between human and non-human beings, between visible and invisible entities.These entities may be projections of one or more minds, or have a non-human origin.The forces or entities with which people communicate may be regarded as angelic or demonic, helpful or dangerous, mischievous and playful or sad and lonely, and in need of help and guidance."
Ancestral impressions change us regardless of whether we make any logical waking connections or not. Even when we spot such connections, it can be limiting to assume that this was the sole ‘point’ of the discovery, and therefore drop further exploration or creative expression for an "Aha" moment. Carrying away golden coins, we may miss the priceless jewel fashioned or concealed within the chest itself.
Genealogy is an Art, a quest for the truth within. Harvesting the fruits of the Tree of Life mobilizes the soul for creative self-expression, self-discovery and self-healing. Much benefit and fulfillment comes simply by remembering, writing, tape-recording, sharing, painting, enacting or otherwise birthing them into the physical world. Understanding is always the experience of a gestalt. Creatively arranging the elements of a whole is precisely what genealogy does, anatomizing and analogizing.
Genealogy takes tremendous effort, like the Great Work. It affects the psyche with both historical and imaginal, known and unknown elements. It has its own magic, alchemy, and synchronicities. Psyche is Mystery, the very essence of humanity, and world. Jung comments, “In reality, there is nothing but a living body. That is the fact, and psyche is as much a living body as body is living psyche: it is just the same,” and “The psyche creates reality every day.”
Jungian genealogy is a broadly interdisciplinary approach, integrating research from neurosciences, genetics, depth psychology, anthropology, shamanism, and philosophy. We wish to consider the ways in which genetic, linguistic, historical, esoteric, and ethnographic data can be used to test theories.
We discuss theoretical and methodological concerns that are directly relevant to study, research and data interpretation. We have surveyed and are correlating historical sources and secondary sources: legends, folklore, astrological, genealogies, tales, chansons, oral histories, mystical writings, etc.
Even genetic genealogy requires interpretation -- hermeneutics, the study of theories and methods of the interpretation of systems of meaning, including interpretations of experience, or human behavior generally. It includes language and patterns of speech, social institutions, and ritual behaviors.
Genealogy is a search for the Beloved, and as such is a Way of the Heart -- a love of psyche.
“Love and the Soul (for that is what Psyche means) had sought and, after sore trials, found each other; and that union could never be broken.” This is the mythic theme. (Edith Hamilton, Mythology)
Genealogy is about Identity. Some attempt to garner social status through their genealogies when other avenues elude them. Some in search of their identity wind up finding their Shadow -- the archetypal adversary and trickster.
Each archetype has a shadow. The archetype of the shadow "coincides with the 'personal' unconscious, stranger/predator/evil intruder. When it is activated in a particularly strong and gripping way, inevitably interconnects the wider collective with the personal.
Archetypes do not create archetypes like themselves but like the shadows of archetypes like themselves. Archetypes evolve from the form in which they first present, but the underlying identity endures unchanged. Each have awakenings (revolution in culture) and crises (upheaval in public life).
Shadow, the dark archetype, is the root of defensive reaction formation (repression, denial, projection, and displacement). Consciousness of the Shadow benefits the group by enhancing social responsibility. We have to consciously suffer the perpetual tension of good and evil. We are shadow-possessed to the extent it dominates personality.
As each generation fulfills its midlife leadership role, it nurtures a child generation as its shadow that reacts against its elders' excesses. The four-fold cycle of generations propels the wheel of time. The social cycle begins in growth and moves through maturation into entropy, death, then rebirth. In a cyclic High people want to belong; in an Awakening, to defy; in an Unraveling, to separate; and in a crisis, to gather. Thus, in our lifetime we confront our deepest spiritual and worldly needs. (Strauss)
Underprotected children become over protective parents. Overprotected children become increasingly indulgent parents. But generations overlap making a complementary mix. There have been 24 post-medieval generations between the Arthurian generation and Millennial children. They are fourteenth in the American line.
The shadow is "the 'negative' side of the personality, the sum of all those unpleasant qualities we like to hide, what is hidden by the conscious personality. It is the enemy within, with which we must make peace. Von Franz declared the Shadow is simply the whole unconscious, as it also contains unlived aspects of the the Self. It also contains the potential necessary for healing.
Some people who come to genealogical practice use it to build a persona that becomes their main way of connecting in the world, an excessive commitment to a rather false image. We identify with our persona. Jung called it a social mask or psychological armor. Recovery, the aim of individuation, "is not only achieved by work on the inside figures but also, as conditio sine qua non, by a readaptation in outer life," according to Jung. We live in the present moment.
The path of Individuation is the psychological equivalent of self-initiation. The goal of individuation is self-realization through increasing conscious relationship with the Self, archetype of wholeness. This Self includes both positive and negative traits of an individual which, in the beginning of analysis, are generally projected out, or attributed to, the environment.
As the ego continues its heroic journey through the labyrinthine psyche, it comes into confrontation with personifications of various archetypal and ancestral characters. During the maturing process, these characters emerge from the undifferentiated mass of unconscious contents. Though their presence in the psyche was implied from the beginning, they begin to unfold in unique patterns in the life of the individual.
Jung called the persona the "conformity archetype." As part of its positive function, it protects the ego and the psyche from the varied social forces. Thus one goal for individuation is for people to "develop a more realistic, flexible persona that helps them navigate in society but does not collide with nor hide their true self". Eventually, "in the best case, the persona is appropriate and tasteful, a true reflection of our inner individuality and our outward sense of self."
Jung also cautioned, "It would indeed be the height of absurdity if a man tried to have a conversation with his persona, which he recognized merely as a psychological means of relationship." So, the purpose of genealogy is not to over-identify but distinguish ourselves from our ancestral lines. It is especially true for an adopted fantasy-based social role which functions like an actor's mask. A mask is what individuals wear to hide their real self or when gaming.
Hobby genealogists may be taken unawares by such strong feelings, images and impulses. A person unfamiliar with psychic dynamics may not recognize that these are processes that Jung described and for which he developed now time-tested therapies to circumvent the pitfalls of alienation, dissociation, projection, and inflation. It's as if unconscious contents lack genealogical links to consciousness proper.
A Jungian genealogy permits a cultural study of the unconscious and a psychological study of culture that facilitates an understanding of the emotional impact culture provides, the unconscious elements of group creation, and the multiple individual perspectives in each historical moment. Formal structures help us understand the significance of mythical discourse. Joseph Campbell called myth a mirror of the ego.
Theories and ideas also have 'genealogies' that trace how they transform over time as they are inherited through culture. This is particularly true of faith-based ideas. They can be used instead of historical analysis or traditional explanations that are more magical than effective. We can follow the transformation of notions without drawing conclusions on their origin.
Even without knowing the cause we can describe the transformations themselves, their strengths, weaknesses, ideology and competing arguments, mechanisms of coercion and contents of knowledge. A genealogy is an open system of relationships, the effect of making a process intelligible and describes cultural elaboration.
“Cultural complexes structure emotional experience and operate in the personal and collective psyche in much the same way as individual complexes, although their content might be quite different. Like individual complexes, cultural complexes tend to be repetitive, autonomous, resist consciousness, and collect experience that confirms their historical point of view”. (Thomas Singer and Samuel L. Kimbles, The Cultural Complex: Contemporary Jungian Perspectives on Psyche and Society).
Using an archaeology and genealogy of process reveals multiple strategies, conditions of acceptability, and a field of possiblities, and possible dislocations. We can look at socio-historical data as an event that allows us to describe ways of experiencing that are
unique to particular sets of people -- a group's way of perceiving itself. Repetitive group experiences take root in the cultural unconscious of the group.
Genealogy is the thread that connects. Joseph Campbell notes,
Centuries of husbandry, decades of diligent culling, the work of numerous hearts and hands, have gone into the hackling, sorting, and spinning of this tightly twisted yarn. Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
It stimulates the imaginal faculty and can induce strong identifications, projections, activated archetypes, ego inflations, and even possessions. Identification means being fused to an unconscious content. Projection is a kind of unconscious identification with the object. A complex is an entity within the unconscious that is a strange attractor for an emotion or way of being. Cultural complexes change over time.
The freed surplus of libido (psychological energy) causes inflation because an archetype has lost its container and becomes identified with the conscious mind. This activates various -isms, utopian fantasies, psychic infections, and a longing for collective ideals.
In possession, the archetype hijacks and overwhelms the conscious personality utterly, appearing as distinctly "other". Possession is a psychic rupture -- the phenomenology of the power of neurotic and psychotic symptoms. In the Middle Ages it meant a sort of obsessive suffering. Outside of the Jungian arena, the potential of the ancestral field has been derided or ignored as a coherent vector of spiritual and cultural experience. But it is a matrix within which we can deal with aggression, sadism, wealth, power, and position without becoming possessed by such shadow impulses, current or ancestral.
Individuation
Doing your genealogy can induce a process Jung called Individuation, by which an individual self emerges from the undifferentiated unconscious. A natural process, Individuation is the innate urge to wholeness -- self-actualization or self-realization. He said, "Evolution is the line of least resistance whereas individuation is the line of most resistance."
A person who enters this experiential dimension has gone beyond that of hobby genealogist, but without a consciousness map or a guide it may seem overwhelming. Even Jung complained of emotional flooding at the onset of his inner journey. Flooding is your physiological reaction to a perceived threat. The threat can be real, it can be an old tape replaying a pattern, or it can be imagined. Automatic, instinctive, reactive emotional processes rush in to numb and protect you from being overwhelmed.
Individuation helps us fulfill our conscious relationships with the ancestors and archetypes of the collective unconscious (ancestral memory). They come in dreams, in revere, in ritual, with the gentle assist of an "angel" or other surprise clues, and they inform our being, literally and figuratively. They carry mystery in their wake, often with cryptic messages or information that can later be verified or found in the physical world. Dynamic archetypes like The Quest or Hero's Journey inform and modulate our behavior.
They inspire our spiritual studies and humanitarian efforts, our self-expression, proclivities and desires. They compel our loves and help create our children, perpetuating the line. We are theirs and they are ours. We are family; we are Blood. We feel their experience from their point of view. As we collect them in name, we collect their experiences, integrating them into our own meaning.
We cultivate our own rows or lines of ancestors through genealogy, the pedigree of our origins. Genealogy and even genetic genealogy are pursuits that require interpretation of assembled data, not literal interpretation, due to hidden variables and a variety of other factors, including the interpretive bias of the researcher.
Thus, they are essentially Hermetic pursuits and should be approached as such, seeking both their wisdom and their subtle misdirection, outright lies of the past and present, misrepresentations, and other Trickster elements.
Even today, grandiose speculation often passes for science. Those unfamiliar with either subject are most likely to misinterpret their own family's functional relation to others, and likewise to misinterpret the evidence of their alleles in relation to antic origins and their meaning. Identifying SNPs from deep common ancestry, or rare SNPs related to shared characteristics helps us recognize one another as kin.
Even with scientific linkage to specific ancestral groups, self-discovery should not be confounded with personal mythology though both necessarily overlap. There is what the evidence shows or suggests, then the narrative which we construct from that limited evidence, which suggests certain things about our ourselves, our families, current and former cultures, and the future of society.
Hermeneutics is the study of theories and methods of the interpretation of systems of meaning, including interpretations of experience, or human behavior generally, including language and patterns of speech, social institutions, and ritual behaviors. It is a specific method or theory of interpretation, such as archetypal and depth psychologies, for example.
The word hermeneutics is a term derived from 'Ερμηνεýς, the Greek word for interpreter. This is related to the name of the Greek god Hermes in his role as the interpreter of the messages of the gods, the mystagogue who reveals divine mysteries.
Hermes was believed to play tricks on those he was supposed to give messages to, often changing the messages and influencing the their interpretation. The Greek word has the basic meaning of one who makes the meaning clear -- a decoder. DNA still manages to preserve its deepest secrets about who and what we are. We decode it by living our lives deeply.
The Men Who Would Be King
Your truth lies beyond any media controversies over bloodlines, false ideologies, erroneous claims, hoaxes, works of fiction, spin-doctored history, genetic superiority, occultism, vanity courts, ancient aliens, subcultures, cults, gnostic, pseudo-masonic or templar revivals, idioyncratic philosophies, or other ways people come together around their shared beliefs, real or self-delusional. Without conversation, philosophy is dogma.
There is no end to the pretentious claims of "royal" wannabees, phony personae, delusional fantasists, and obsessional megalomaniacs to be this or that reincarnation, usually to sell their "celebrity" brand. Let the buyer beware of self-styled experts with little or no traction. They are modern claimants to the mantles of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, St. Germain or any number of other illustrious figures.
By Soul, Jung is not defining something religious. He speaks of a return to the Soul of the World, the source of knowledge. Our instincts begin to grow sharper, our emotions more radical, the signs of life are of greater importance than logic, our perception of reality is no longer so rigid. We begin to deal with things we are not used to, and to react in ways that not even we ourselves would expect. Hillman speaks of soul or psyche as "a perspective rather than a substance, a viewpoint toward things rather than a thing itself."
Then we discover that if we can only manage to channel this surge of energy, it self-organizes as a very solid center, which Jung calls the Wise Old Man for men, or the Great Mother for women. It’s quite dangerous to allow this to manifest itself. Generally speaking, whoever reaches that point tends to consider himself holy, a tamer of spirits, a prophet. It's time for a reality check.
In the US, the 'New England family' - probably 100 million contemporary Americans descended from 5000 - 8000 Great Migration immigrants of 1620-50. If you have 50 or more sets (husbands and wives) of Great Migration immigrant forebears, you are probably related to almost all of the 100 million, within the range of 8th-12th cousins. The probability of kinship to notables is fully 100 percent, and the number of such 'household name' distant kin probably surpasses 500, possibly 1000." http://humphrysfamilytree.com/famous.descents.html
"Divine Pride" & Ego Inflation
So you find you come from royalty -- get over it! Many who make this discovery of ancestry become ego inflated, self-proclaiming pretentious titles to which they have no claim. Lying or confabulating does not make it so. The over-identification is the opposite of the right psychological move. At the very least, it puts the cart before the horse.
Jung describes his remedy: assimilation of contents of the collective unconscious, not through identification, but through confrontation, avoiding equation with either the lowest or highest aspects of one’s own psyche.
Jung’s warning that inflation necessarily attends identifying oneself with an archetypal motif would seem completely applicable to self-styled "royal" claimants. To do so means one is in the very first stage of initiation, utterly unconscious that the Persona or social mask is confounded with your Shadow self. It is a fallacious attempt to prop up a weak ego, not the claim of a "noble" ego or a valid claim of anything. As psychologists well know, the moral conflict is not to be settled merely by a declaration of superiority bordering on inhumanity, nor a declaration one is better than or fit to rule others in any way.
Afflicted pride is a version of ego-inflation which Jung sought to avoid by advising against identifying with assimilated contents. But people will defend their self-delusion self image to the grave, even when profoundly misconceived. It is an assurance of later problems and is an avoidance of the work of individuation. Jung's cautions are profound and serve to highlight the enormity of the task we are attempting. Jung frequently warns against the inflation attendant upon assimilation of autonomous complexes and identification with their content, as, for instance, when he says:
It will be remembered that in the analysis of the personal unconscious the first things to be added to consciousness are the personal contents and I suggested that these contents which have been repressed, but are capable of becoming conscious, should be called the personal unconscious. I also showed that to annex the deeper layers of the unconscious, which I have called the collective unconscious, produces an extension of the personality leading to the state of inflation. (Jung 1953, 7:243 )
Such misperception and misapplication of genealogy leads to positive and negative inflation and all their attendant ills:
In projection, he vacillates between an extravagant and pathological deification of the doctor, and a contempt bristling with hatred.
In introjection, he gets involved in a ridiculous self-deification, or else a moral self-laceration. The mistake he makes in both cases comes from attributing to a person the contents of the collective unconscious. In this way he makes himself or his partner either god or devil. Here we see the characteristic effect of the archetype: it seizes hold of the psyche with a kind of primeval force and compels it to transgress the bounds of humanity. It causes exaggeration, a puffed-up attitude (inflation), loss of free will, delusion, and enthusiasm in good and evil alike (Jung 1953, 7:110).
Positive inflation of the religious or megalomaniacal sort can lead to assumptions of grandeur, viewing oneself as having the universal panacea:
The second possible mode of reaction is identification with the collective psyche. This
would be equivalent to acceptance of the inflation, but now exalted into a system. In
other words, one would be the fortunate possessor of the great truth that was only
waiting to be discovered, of the eschatological knowledge that means the healing of
the nations. This attitude does not necessarily signify megalomania in direct form,
but megalomania in the milder and more familiar form it takes in the reformer, the
prophet, and the martyr. (Jung 1953, 7:260)
The prophet is convinced that he/she has the final truth but is merely inflated through identification with the forces of deep contents. The humble disciple affects the posture of only
following the master’s dictums:
But besides the possibility of becoming a prophet, there is another alluring joy,
subtler and apparently more legitimate: the joy of becoming a prophet’s disciple.…
The disciple is unworthy; modestly he sits at the Master’s feet and guards against
having ideas of his own. Mental laziness becomes a virtue; one can at least bask in
the sun of a semidivine being.…Naturally the disciples always stick together, not out
of love, but for the very understandable purpose of effortlessly confirming their own
convictions by engendering an air of collective agreement.…[J]ust as the prophet is
a primordial image from the collective psyche, so also is the disciple of the prophet.
(Jung 1953, 7:263-265)
In both cases inflation is brought about by the collective unconscious, and the independence
of the individuality suffers injury. In a similar vein:
These few examples may suffice to show what kind of spirit animated these movements. They were made up of people who identified themselves (or were identified) with God, who deemed themselves supermen, had a critical approach to the gospels, followed the promptings of the inner man, and understood the kingdom of heaven to be within. In a sense, therefore, they were modern in their outlook, but they had a religious inflation instead of the rationalistic and political psychosis that is the affliction of our day. (Jung 1969, 9:140)
Jung advises against identifying with offices and titles since such excludes the richness of our situation:
A very common instance is the humourless way in which many men identify
themselves with their business or their titles. The office I hold is certainly my special
activity; but it is also a collective factor that has come into existence historically
through the cooperation of many people and whose dignity rests solely on collective
approval. When, therefore, I identify myself with my office or title, I behave as though
I myself were the whole complex of social factors of which that office consists, or
as though I were not only the bearer of the office, but also and at the same time
the approval of society. I have made an extraordinary extension of myself and have
usurped qualities which are not in me but outside me. (Jung 1953, 7:227)
And:
There is, however, yet another thing to be learnt from this example, namely that these
transpersonal contents are not just inert or dead matter that can be annexed at will.
Rather they are living entities which exert an attractive force upon the conscious
mind. Identification with one’s office or one’s title is very attractive indeed, which
is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them
by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath all
the padding one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office—or
whatever their outer husk may be—is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for
personal deficiencies. (Jung 1953, 7:230)
The basic problem is that one has lost a healthy respect for the need to mediate between the
conscious and the unconscious, thereby (in one version) inflating the importance of the ego.

Understanding the Numbers
The Pyramid Theory, a doubling of ancestors each generation back, claims you have 2048 ancestors by the 12th generation in your past, and possibly 60,000 direct ancestors going back to the Crusades. By Generation #40, you would have more than one trillion ancestors.
About 360 years, or just short of 15 generations mtDNA peters out. At 15 generations, an individual living today would carry only three thousands of 1% (00.003052%) of the DNA of an ancestor who was “pure” anything 15 generations ago. So even if one ancestor was indeed Mediterranean or whatever 15 generations ago, unless they continuously intermarried within a pure Mediterranean population, the amount would drop by 50% with each generation to the miniscule amount that would be found in today’s current generation. With today’s technology, this is simply untraceable in autosomal DNA.
We are at the end of a long and winding genetic journey that continues after and through us. We are probably all connected by the 25th gr-grandparents, if you do the math. There is a great possibility that we are descendants (or are related) from almost everyone alive some seven hundred years ago. With our parents' generation as Nº 1, the number of persons is 33,554,432.
That number is the theoretical result of (x2) progression, since many of those ancestors are the same persons. The genealogical evidence shows that many of the families intermarried for generations, producing a rich genealogical matrix.
Yet, somehow a determined gen can survive intact through all those descendants and become a particle of memory that will give you a dejá vu once in a while. Ancestral memories may not be of actual events. They should not to be confused with the idea of past life or reincarnation as they are reactive response patterns and emotional states brought about by environment.
The past has gone and the future has yet to come. All you have is the present.
Genealogy Without Tears
Genealogy Writes You into the Story of History
"To let each impression and each embryo of a feeling come to completion, entirely in itself, in the dark, in the unsayable, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one's own understanding, and with deep humility and patience to wait for the hour when a new clarity is born: this alone is what it means to live as an artist: in understanding as in creating."
--Rainer Maria Rilke
"Through scientific understanding, our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos. He is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional participation in natural events, which hitherto had a symbolic meaning for him. Thunder is no longer the voice of a god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree makes a man's life, no snake is the embodiment of wisdom and no mountain still harbors a great demon. Neither do things speak to him nor can he speak to things, like stones, springs, plants and animals. His immediate communication with nature is gone forever, and the emotional energy it generated has sunk into unconscious."
~Carl Jung, Collected Works 18, Paragraph 585
You Get the Genealogy You Deserve
Life and consciousness are the ultimate emergent phenomena, but we still don't know their real origin, which remains veiled in Mystery. We are Cosmic psychophysical beings with a core reaching down into the microcosm of quantum dynamics and the still center of Zero-Point. The zero-point of our genealogy is the Ur-ancestral couple lost to the mists of pre-history.
Beyond hormonal and limbic impulses and narratives of the biological imperative of procreation -- why or why not and when or with whom to create -- consciousness informs the inception of new life. Our reasons for giving birth are often unconscious. Each of us was conceived and each of us continues to conceive everyday. Conscious conception is the ritual of thought, prayer, energy, sex, and work around the event birth. Just as we can benefit from processing work around our own births, we can learn from the stories of our progenitors.
In the split second moment of conception, the two streams of genetic information from your parents, handed on from generation to generation over literally hundreds of millennia, combined in one single cell embodying your unique potential. It ensured that you became an unequaled living record of the lives and ways of your ancestors.
All of your ancient ancestors had one thing in common -- they were survivors who overcame daunting obstacles and hardships in their natural world. Your DNA is a legacy passed down to you from thousands of generations of fittest individuals. You have the best of their collective genes, all meticulously spelled out within the DNA of your genome.
Your individual DNA fingerprint depends on how the chromosomes line up at conception. Some traits from both parents’ potentials will be there, while others get excluded. So, some siblings can be redheads, others not; some can have family medical problems, others not, some may be Rh neg., others not. Extensive historical knowledge of cultural practices and human migratory patterns helps us piece each story together. We may find things we never imagined and find no evidence for traits known within our lineage.
Each individual is very much like the fractal units of every individual human being, yet is distinctly different in many dimensions--genetically, in a biological dimension. But each individual also resides in many dimensional worlds--some in academic worlds, some in spiritual worlds, some in political worlds, some in worlds of despair and some in worlds of optimism. Some individuals share like worlds and are polarized by some worlds.
A child and parents are fractal levels of a family tree and at the same time units of a larger community fractal, and may be a fractal unit of a religious group or political affiliation within that set. This same child, parents, the community are all fractals of county, state, national fractals and may be fractal units of sets within any of these larger fractals--organizations, spiritual affiliations, clubs, special interest groups, schools, workplaces, etc.
In genealogy the term direct line refers to a relationship of one person to another in a direct line. A direct-line ancestor is someone from whom you descend in a direct line, parent to child, grandparent, great-grandparent, etc. Direct-line research refers to genealogy research focused on one's direct-line ancestors. Blood relations refer to the underground stream, the Red River of Memories that flows within us. The Blood is real and it's fresh; it flows in your veins.
By contrast, collateral line is a term used to describe family relationships not in the direct line of descent such as siblings, spouses and children of siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. Researching direct-line ancestry is a common focus of genealogists and family history researchers. Proving a direct line of descent is generally required for membership in heritage societies. A mere seven generations back we have over 200 people in just our immediate, or father-mother, grandfather-grandmother line.
We are not just talking about the way you look, but about your ancestral memories, the complete set of instincts and response patterns that were responsible for the survival of those two genetic streams in the first place. The instincts and response patterns that you were actually born with are what Jung called the Collective Unconscious. Science calls it epigenetics. Genealogy functions as a therapeutic portal, much like dreams or symptoms allow us to enter the imaginal dimension.
We are born with both a psychological and a biological heritage, as determinants of behavior and experience. The collective unconscious, which results from experiences that are common to all people, also includes material from our prehuman and animal ancestry. It is the source of our most powerful ideas and experiences.
Jung described individual and collective symbols. Symbols veil what remains hidden to us. He called individual symbols "natural" symbols -- spontaneous productions of the individual psyche, rather than images or designs created deliberately. Personal symbols are found in dreams and fantasies. But, important collective symbols appear which are often religious images such as the cross, the six-pointed Star of David, the Grail, and the Buddhist wheel of life.
Jung says, "Just as the human body represents a whole museum of organs, each with a long evolutionary period behind it, so we should expect to find that the mind is organized in a similar way. It can no more be a product without history than is the body in which it exists" (1964, p. 67).
Quo Vadis?
Fundamentally, genealogy is a search for Self -- universal spirit. Your personal family tree merges with the collective in The World Tree. The goal is creating a single family tree for the world. The World Wide Web has made such collaboration possible, creating a single world family tree.
In mythology the World Tree is the axis between heaven and earth. Many people believed that gods and their messengers climbed up and down the tree to get from one realm to the other. Sometimes these trees were said to bear fruit that was powerful for healing or knowledge. Among those who study myths and legends, this type of tree is known as a “World Tree” or a “Cosmic Tree.”
The world tree is a universal symbol. It’s primary meaning is creation and consciousness (the divine will of creation). The growing of the the tree is the symbol of the creation of the Universe and its Evolution -- a Tree of Life. This was the symbol of the Druids (meaning “tree”). They believed that in the branches of the tree you could discern the secrets of the universe.
Some are armchair genealogists, while others hit the genealogy trail, making their life a perpetual pilgrimage and search by visiting family domiciles and sacred sites. Many search for relics or novel solutions to riddles they pose to themselves. It is a way of connecting the psychological dots into a seemingly coherent story, one that keeps the narrative moving forward while it looks back.
Some write novels that filter information and scenes through the consciousness of their characters. There are battles and leaders, matriarchs, patriarchs and malefactors. Others create esoteric organizations, usually with themselves set up as authority figures. They hook those who are susceptible to the promise of Mystery. Most such groups devolve into banal cults of personality, which all seem to share the same squabbles and organizational problems.
Some are convinced only they know the real truth of the matter. But you cannot really tell anyone anything, due to the brain's hardwiring. Research shows that in the public realm, a lack of information isn't the real problem. The hurdle is how our minds work, no matter how smart we think we are. We rationalize what our emotions already want to believe. Do facts matter? The answer, basically, is no. When people are misinformed, giving them facts to correct those errors only makes them cling to their beliefs more tenaciously.
Further, most exposés of the knowledge of the underground stream are materialistic interpretations of it. They claim to empower you while lining their pockets. Some of this may be compensatory to lack of power in other areas of life. Claims to shift world vision seem more of a self-serving perception than a reality -- more memes than genes.
Cognitive dissonance occurs when we filter our perceptions to screen out (deny) threatening information we cannot deal with. It is magical thinking to take a symbol to be its referent or an analogy to represent an identity. Magical thinking comes from an instinctual search and recognition of patterns, and regards symbols not as representations but as handles attached firmly to real-life objects and outcomes. Out of context, symbols are ineffectual. Evocative “power” is one of the attractive aspects of the meme concept which is also a symbol and signifiers of meaning that are context dependent.
There are three types of symbols: 1) Symbols that reflect intrinsic mental states; 2) Symbols that stand in for extrinsic (actual or objective) conditions or objects, and 3) Symbols that stand in relation to cultural artifacts, or constructs, or memes. Here the symbol and the object it represents are one and the same. Any distinction between symbol and symbolized is spurious. The emotional projection of symbols, or “magical thinking,” happens in psychosis, in cultures, and subcultures. Disgust is an emotion heavily caught up in symbolic and magical thinking. Yet, symbols can have biophysical and material effects. We trick ourselves into mobilization.
Magical thinking helps us feel more secure in an unpredictable world. By manipulating symbols, we imagine being able to manipulate the reality that a symbol represents, but it makes us vulnerable to manipulation, too. The psychology of superstition “works” better in a virtuality. Superstition provides the illusion of increased control. Symbols are captivating, indistinct, metaphoric and enigmatic portrayals of psychic reality. The content, i.e. the meaning of symbols, is far from obvious; instead, it is expressed in unique and individual terms while at the same time partaking of universal imagery. Our society is having to rethink such fundamental notions as money, security, growth and many other bases of our current worldview.
Symbols can be recognized as aspects of those images that control, order and give meaning to our lives. The source of symbols can be traced to the archetypes themselves which by way of symbols find more full expression. Symbols are thus one type of what Jung called “archetypal images,” that is, the representation in consciousness of an underlying archetype. The anamorphic is not the fractal, because the fractal is repeating a pattern.
When the dominant vision that holds a period of culture together cracks, consciousness regresses into earlier containers, seeking sources for survival which also offer sources of revival. Self-empowerment can be entangled with self-delusion. We can no longer distinguish clearly between neurosis of self and neurosis of world, psychopathology of self and psychopathology of world. Species-wide trauma is playing out on the world stage. We compulsively recreate individual and collective trauma, perhaps as a way to awaken ourselves. Such madness is its own ritual and revelation. (Miller, Holographic Archetypes)
Perhaps the biggest value of questionable literature is that people now search elsewhere for their own half-remembered origins.
Many who claim to guard the history actually prey on their vulnerable kinsmen. So we must look at the effects of such behavior rather than relying on proclamations. There have been many blatant hoaxes. It begs the question, "Where is this leading?". In many cases, the answer is nowhere. Reinterpreting sacred sites with idiosyncratic tropes doesn't make it so. Nor does finding out what the Templars or Cathars were doing substitute for one's own individuation and may work against it, fitting a modern person into an obsolete mold.
These overwrought works mostly regurgitate the symbolic understanding developed more completely in depth psychologies, applying skewed versions to the selected symbols, often from New Age thought, another faddish collective movement which mostly rehashes theosophical notions. There isn't much "new" about it. If such critique sounds like tough love it is because it comes from close observation of the effects of such subcultures. Schisms and tragedy have been the result, not illumination unless you count disillusionment as such.
Following pilgrimage routes, such as "the Camino" may be stimulating but will likely never be illuminating. It doesn't substitute for the work of self-discovery in the cave of the heart. Overlaying such sites with new age gloss doesn't improve the clarity of the situation and may just add irrelevant data. Our attunement to the world is especially influenced by culture and society, whether we call it human potential or human illusion.
In some cases, pilgrimage is another form of what is termed the geographic escape. There are many writers eager to host such trips for their own benefit. It has become a thriving cottage industry whether the goal is ancient aliens or earth chakras. That doesn't mean there is no value in such travel or mystery centers, but it doesn't supersede the inner work and may lead to flooding and inflation. Sentience is not the same as sentimentality. But people will do what they are going to do. All things seek their own level.
Ultimately, individuation is a solitary pursuit, a mode of experience that opens the door to the otherwise hidden world. To Edward Edinger (1972), individuation means not having to continually repeat the cycle, but to develop conscious dialogues between I and Self. Without a displaced religious obsession there is little reason to pursue the lies, theories or directives of others over one's own creative genius. Ultimately, the real issue with the bloodline has always been about the concept of "sovereignty".
It isn't merely our royal genealogy that makes us who we are. After all, we share most of it with millions of people. Still, there is no better way of actively working within your ancestral matrix than delineating and curating your own lines. What is unique is our personal reaction to such knowledge and how our relationship with it evolves as we assimilate and integrate that expanded awareness -- the Mystery of the whole matter.
Genealogy is the root of the hieros gamos or symbolic royal marriage. The rich variety of psycho-physical hierosgamic themes are illustrated in many alchemical works, illustrating simultaneous humanity and divinity. The hierosgamos union of opposites between human and divine is mediated by Mercurius, the Hermetic method, or hermeneutics. It requires interpretation of experiential material. For example, originally, the dove was a symbolic attribute of ancient female divinities of Mesopotamia.
We need To Know genealogy much like we need to know physics and psychology to comprehend what matter is, as well as what makes us matter. We have thousands of ancestors whose lines are not preserved, making the small slice of royal descent largely archetypal as well as material. The part stands for the Whole - the cosmic process.
In a Gnostic exercise for inner growth the personal mind must be made empty or void of all preconceptions, but at the same time become keenly attentive, transformed into pure sense, or capacity for greater sensations. The soul must be in a searching frame of mind, searching not inquiring, that is to say synthetic not analytic. Inquiry suggests penetrating into a thing with the personal mind; while searching denotes embracing and seizing ideas, "eating" or "digesting" or "absorbing" them, so to say; getting all round them and making them one’s own, surrounding them--it is no longer a question of separated subject and object as with the personal and analyzing mind.
The "vision" of the soul is, literally, the "eye" of the soul. The mind must be emptied of every
object, so that it may receive the fullness. It becomes the "pure eye," the æon, all-eye; not,
however, to perceive anything other than itself, but to understand the nature of understanding -- namely, that it transcends all distinctions of subject and object. Silence nurtures the divine -- The Great Silence and the Holy Fire. The One Body of all thing is the
Mother of souls, the Inbreather of life -- cosmic "vitalizing," or "quickening," or "ensouling".
Union of Opposites
The body is the alchemical laboratory that generates the subtle body, astral vehicle, and the Body of Light or Diamond Body as the highest vehicle. Consciousness is drawn up with sublimation. The elixir of life transforms body and consciousness.
The tensional relationship of the opposites, (life and death, good and evil, one and many), remains the great operational mechanism of manifest life and of transformation. This relationship exists within the context of a unitary world-model wherein matter and spirit, King and Queen, appear as aspects of a psychoid (psychophysical) realm of reality.
In alchemy the resurrection stands not for transcendence of the body, but its glorification and perfection. Alchemy is the art of seeing what is invisible to others, hearing what others are deaf to, and feeling what others are dead to. Sophia, the Divine Feminine, personifies that World Soul, of inherent primordial Wisdom.
We are affected not only by things that happen to us personally, but also by things that have happened in our lineage, to our parents, grandparents and ancestors. Epigenetics shows that the traumas that happened within our culture affect us. Ironically, this is more so when they have been forgotten, relegated to the unconscious realm, where they can cause physical symptoms, phobias, depression, nightmares and other unexplained things.
Another genealogical form of opposites is twins or siblings. They are there from the beginning, as Enki and Enlil, as Cain and Abel. Such myths arose in the age of Gemini, the Celestial Twins.
They were destined to become the most prolific progenitors of the world. Their offspring divided in two. Those that went east to cross the Bering Strait, to become the most prominent inhabitants of the New World as far as Tierra del Fuego, were the descendants of one brother, while the numerous descendants of the other brother that remained created a shock-wave in the Old World, felt as far as West Africa, the Atlantic and India.
Like in a fantasy tale, both people founded incredible civilizations, each highlights of human talent and splendor. Tales of the Two Brothers persisted in myth and legend, representing the dichotomy of all polarities and their underlying transcendental unity. This is a story of the reunion of the archetypal brothers.
Legends of the Two Brothers arose in the Age of Gemini (6000 BC - 4000 BC) and come down in the story of Cain and Able, which was historically preceded by allegorical stories of Enki and Enlil. Each Age has its gods. The Age of Gemini corresponded to the flourishing period of early Hinduism.
It was under this sign that Rama, the seventh incarnation of Vishnu was manifested by the birth of the two pair of brothers: Rama and Lakshmana on the one hand, Satrughna and Bharata on the other. Rama Himself had twin sons: Lav and Kush.
Lav went to Russia; from this we get the name of Slav. The other son, Kush went to China, hence we get the name Kushan. These two divine principles were also incarnated as Buddha and Mahavira, then as Adi Shankaracharya and Gnyaneshwara. In other Avatars they were Hassan and Hussein, the sons of Fatima and Hazrat Ali.
The Quest
Joseph Campbell asks, "What is it we are questing for? It is the fulfillment of that which is potential in each of us. Questing for it is not an ego trip; it is an adventure to bring into fulfillment your gift to the world, which is yourself. There is nothing you can do that's more important than being fulfilled. You become a sign, you become a signal, transparent to transcendence; in this way you will find, live, become a realization of your own personal myth."
The Quest for wholeness is the search for meaning, orientation, renewal, and transformation. By making the trauma in our lineage and in our culture more conscious, we can loosen its hold. This helps us to restore a sense of our own self and our own freedom of choice, and allows what is not ours to rest in peace. Thus, genealogy is a kind of healing ritual, which retrieves the lost and disowned parts of the soul, what we've buried in the earth and forgotten.
Thus your soul is your own self in the spiritual world. As the abode of the spirits, however, the spiritual world is also an outer world. Just as you are also not alone in the visible world, but are surrounded by objects that belong to you and obey only you, you also have thoughts that belong to you and obey only you. But just as you are surrounded in the visible world by things and beings that neither belong to you nor obey you, you are also surrounded in the spiritual world by thoughts and beings of thought that neither obey you nor belong to you.
Just as you engender or bear your physical children, and just as they grow up and separate themselves from you to live their own fate, you also produce or give birth to beings of thought which separate themselves from you and live their own lives.
Just as we leave our children when we grow old and give our body back to the earth, I separate myself from my God, the sun, and sink into the emptiness of matter and obliterate the image of my child in me. This happens in that I accept the nature of matter and allow the force of my form to flow into emptiness. Just as I gave birth anew to the sick God through my engendering force, I henceforth animate the emptiness of matter from which the formation of evil grows.
Nature is playful and terrible. Some see the playful side and dally with it and let it sparkle. Others see the horror and cover their heads and are more dead than alive. The way does not lead between both, but embraces both. It is both cheerful play and cold horror. (Jung, Red Book)
Genealogy is like organic gardening. We till the soil until things break through the surface where we tend and fertilize them with creative expression and contemplation. Living branches of our Tree become knotted together generating many leaves. Entwined with roses and thorns they represent the complexities of life, including the union of opposites. At the microcosmic level they may represent quantum entanglement. All macroscopic parts of the world are entangled quantum mechanically. Entanglement is a property of nonlocal quantum information exchange.
Jung pointed out that procreative power is only a special instance of the ‘procreative nature of the Whole', as illustrated in alchemical works such as the Rosarium Philosophorum, which depicts a symbolic hieros gamos, combining the powers of the upper and lower worlds, leading out the gold. We acquire an experiential understanding of the ontological wholeness of the cosmos and know we are in no way separate from that. Such non-duality that closes the gap between spirit and body was the magnificent obsession of the alchemists as it is of the mystics.
Eliade wrote, "The Sun and the Moon must be made one. . .above all, prajna, wisdom, must be joined with upaya, the means of attaining it. . .all this amounts to saying we are dealing with the coincidentia oppositorum achieved on every level of Life and Consciousness."
Chaos becomes cosmos; the profane becomes sacred; potential is actualized. Alchemical tracts bookend the entire alchemical process between an initial and final image. Opening and closing illustrations frame the psycho-physical transformation. Like dreams and moods, the fruits of personal insight and practical guidance affect us physiologically, emotionally, psychologically, and/or spiritually, and become part of our being.
Death, afterlife beliefs, mediumship, and spirit possession are contentious subjects. Belief is a open-ended system. Anomalous experiences can arise as a function of relational care or concern. In a genealogical approach, we have no burden to prove the source of psi phenomena or synchronicities.
A Jungian approach is more concerned with their meaning in the life of the person who reports the phenomena. You cannot argue with anyone's belief or experience. It can be approached literally, metaphorically, or symbolically. Metaphors are paradoxical. Like Jung we take a phenomenological approach, looking backwards and forward at the same time. Jung's theory of possession by autonomous complexes differs from notions of possession within specific belief systems.
Social Anthropologist, Fiona Bowie writes: "Virtually all other cultures hold to the notion, based on the experience of individuals and groups, that the Self, if it exists at all, is permeable, and in constant contact and relationship with other selves at a psychic as well as a physical and emotional level. Communications may be unconscious or conscious, mediated by others or unmediated, wanted or unsought, but they exist nonetheless, and come in many different forms, with different results and effects. They involve communication between living humans and those who have died, between human and non-human beings, between visible and invisible entities.These entities may be projections of one or more minds, or have a non-human origin.The forces or entities with which people communicate may be regarded as angelic or demonic, helpful or dangerous, mischievous and playful or sad and lonely, and in need of help and guidance."
Ancestral impressions change us regardless of whether we make any logical waking connections or not. Even when we spot such connections, it can be limiting to assume that this was the sole ‘point’ of the discovery, and therefore drop further exploration or creative expression for an "Aha" moment. Carrying away golden coins, we may miss the priceless jewel fashioned or concealed within the chest itself.
Genealogy is an Art, a quest for the truth within. Harvesting the fruits of the Tree of Life mobilizes the soul for creative self-expression, self-discovery and self-healing. Much benefit and fulfillment comes simply by remembering, writing, tape-recording, sharing, painting, enacting or otherwise birthing them into the physical world. Understanding is always the experience of a gestalt. Creatively arranging the elements of a whole is precisely what genealogy does, anatomizing and analogizing.
Genealogy takes tremendous effort, like the Great Work. It affects the psyche with both historical and imaginal, known and unknown elements. It has its own magic, alchemy, and synchronicities. Psyche is Mystery, the very essence of humanity, and world. Jung comments, “In reality, there is nothing but a living body. That is the fact, and psyche is as much a living body as body is living psyche: it is just the same,” and “The psyche creates reality every day.”
Jungian genealogy is a broadly interdisciplinary approach, integrating research from neurosciences, genetics, depth psychology, anthropology, shamanism, and philosophy. We wish to consider the ways in which genetic, linguistic, historical, esoteric, and ethnographic data can be used to test theories.
We discuss theoretical and methodological concerns that are directly relevant to study, research and data interpretation. We have surveyed and are correlating historical sources and secondary sources: legends, folklore, astrological, genealogies, tales, chansons, oral histories, mystical writings, etc.
Even genetic genealogy requires interpretation -- hermeneutics, the study of theories and methods of the interpretation of systems of meaning, including interpretations of experience, or human behavior generally. It includes language and patterns of speech, social institutions, and ritual behaviors.
Genealogy is a search for the Beloved, and as such is a Way of the Heart -- a love of psyche.
“Love and the Soul (for that is what Psyche means) had sought and, after sore trials, found each other; and that union could never be broken.” This is the mythic theme. (Edith Hamilton, Mythology)
Genealogy is about Identity. Some attempt to garner social status through their genealogies when other avenues elude them. Some in search of their identity wind up finding their Shadow -- the archetypal adversary and trickster.
Each archetype has a shadow. The archetype of the shadow "coincides with the 'personal' unconscious, stranger/predator/evil intruder. When it is activated in a particularly strong and gripping way, inevitably interconnects the wider collective with the personal.
Archetypes do not create archetypes like themselves but like the shadows of archetypes like themselves. Archetypes evolve from the form in which they first present, but the underlying identity endures unchanged. Each have awakenings (revolution in culture) and crises (upheaval in public life).
Shadow, the dark archetype, is the root of defensive reaction formation (repression, denial, projection, and displacement). Consciousness of the Shadow benefits the group by enhancing social responsibility. We have to consciously suffer the perpetual tension of good and evil. We are shadow-possessed to the extent it dominates personality.
As each generation fulfills its midlife leadership role, it nurtures a child generation as its shadow that reacts against its elders' excesses. The four-fold cycle of generations propels the wheel of time. The social cycle begins in growth and moves through maturation into entropy, death, then rebirth. In a cyclic High people want to belong; in an Awakening, to defy; in an Unraveling, to separate; and in a crisis, to gather. Thus, in our lifetime we confront our deepest spiritual and worldly needs. (Strauss)
Underprotected children become over protective parents. Overprotected children become increasingly indulgent parents. But generations overlap making a complementary mix. There have been 24 post-medieval generations between the Arthurian generation and Millennial children. They are fourteenth in the American line.
The shadow is "the 'negative' side of the personality, the sum of all those unpleasant qualities we like to hide, what is hidden by the conscious personality. It is the enemy within, with which we must make peace. Von Franz declared the Shadow is simply the whole unconscious, as it also contains unlived aspects of the the Self. It also contains the potential necessary for healing.
Some people who come to genealogical practice use it to build a persona that becomes their main way of connecting in the world, an excessive commitment to a rather false image. We identify with our persona. Jung called it a social mask or psychological armor. Recovery, the aim of individuation, "is not only achieved by work on the inside figures but also, as conditio sine qua non, by a readaptation in outer life," according to Jung. We live in the present moment.
The path of Individuation is the psychological equivalent of self-initiation. The goal of individuation is self-realization through increasing conscious relationship with the Self, archetype of wholeness. This Self includes both positive and negative traits of an individual which, in the beginning of analysis, are generally projected out, or attributed to, the environment.
As the ego continues its heroic journey through the labyrinthine psyche, it comes into confrontation with personifications of various archetypal and ancestral characters. During the maturing process, these characters emerge from the undifferentiated mass of unconscious contents. Though their presence in the psyche was implied from the beginning, they begin to unfold in unique patterns in the life of the individual.
Jung called the persona the "conformity archetype." As part of its positive function, it protects the ego and the psyche from the varied social forces. Thus one goal for individuation is for people to "develop a more realistic, flexible persona that helps them navigate in society but does not collide with nor hide their true self". Eventually, "in the best case, the persona is appropriate and tasteful, a true reflection of our inner individuality and our outward sense of self."
Jung also cautioned, "It would indeed be the height of absurdity if a man tried to have a conversation with his persona, which he recognized merely as a psychological means of relationship." So, the purpose of genealogy is not to over-identify but distinguish ourselves from our ancestral lines. It is especially true for an adopted fantasy-based social role which functions like an actor's mask. A mask is what individuals wear to hide their real self or when gaming.
Hobby genealogists may be taken unawares by such strong feelings, images and impulses. A person unfamiliar with psychic dynamics may not recognize that these are processes that Jung described and for which he developed now time-tested therapies to circumvent the pitfalls of alienation, dissociation, projection, and inflation. It's as if unconscious contents lack genealogical links to consciousness proper.
A Jungian genealogy permits a cultural study of the unconscious and a psychological study of culture that facilitates an understanding of the emotional impact culture provides, the unconscious elements of group creation, and the multiple individual perspectives in each historical moment. Formal structures help us understand the significance of mythical discourse. Joseph Campbell called myth a mirror of the ego.
Theories and ideas also have 'genealogies' that trace how they transform over time as they are inherited through culture. This is particularly true of faith-based ideas. They can be used instead of historical analysis or traditional explanations that are more magical than effective. We can follow the transformation of notions without drawing conclusions on their origin.
Even without knowing the cause we can describe the transformations themselves, their strengths, weaknesses, ideology and competing arguments, mechanisms of coercion and contents of knowledge. A genealogy is an open system of relationships, the effect of making a process intelligible and describes cultural elaboration.
“Cultural complexes structure emotional experience and operate in the personal and collective psyche in much the same way as individual complexes, although their content might be quite different. Like individual complexes, cultural complexes tend to be repetitive, autonomous, resist consciousness, and collect experience that confirms their historical point of view”. (Thomas Singer and Samuel L. Kimbles, The Cultural Complex: Contemporary Jungian Perspectives on Psyche and Society).
Using an archaeology and genealogy of process reveals multiple strategies, conditions of acceptability, and a field of possiblities, and possible dislocations. We can look at socio-historical data as an event that allows us to describe ways of experiencing that are
unique to particular sets of people -- a group's way of perceiving itself. Repetitive group experiences take root in the cultural unconscious of the group.
Genealogy is the thread that connects. Joseph Campbell notes,
Centuries of husbandry, decades of diligent culling, the work of numerous hearts and hands, have gone into the hackling, sorting, and spinning of this tightly twisted yarn. Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; and where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world.
It stimulates the imaginal faculty and can induce strong identifications, projections, activated archetypes, ego inflations, and even possessions. Identification means being fused to an unconscious content. Projection is a kind of unconscious identification with the object. A complex is an entity within the unconscious that is a strange attractor for an emotion or way of being. Cultural complexes change over time.
The freed surplus of libido (psychological energy) causes inflation because an archetype has lost its container and becomes identified with the conscious mind. This activates various -isms, utopian fantasies, psychic infections, and a longing for collective ideals.
In possession, the archetype hijacks and overwhelms the conscious personality utterly, appearing as distinctly "other". Possession is a psychic rupture -- the phenomenology of the power of neurotic and psychotic symptoms. In the Middle Ages it meant a sort of obsessive suffering. Outside of the Jungian arena, the potential of the ancestral field has been derided or ignored as a coherent vector of spiritual and cultural experience. But it is a matrix within which we can deal with aggression, sadism, wealth, power, and position without becoming possessed by such shadow impulses, current or ancestral.
Individuation
Doing your genealogy can induce a process Jung called Individuation, by which an individual self emerges from the undifferentiated unconscious. A natural process, Individuation is the innate urge to wholeness -- self-actualization or self-realization. He said, "Evolution is the line of least resistance whereas individuation is the line of most resistance."
A person who enters this experiential dimension has gone beyond that of hobby genealogist, but without a consciousness map or a guide it may seem overwhelming. Even Jung complained of emotional flooding at the onset of his inner journey. Flooding is your physiological reaction to a perceived threat. The threat can be real, it can be an old tape replaying a pattern, or it can be imagined. Automatic, instinctive, reactive emotional processes rush in to numb and protect you from being overwhelmed.
Individuation helps us fulfill our conscious relationships with the ancestors and archetypes of the collective unconscious (ancestral memory). They come in dreams, in revere, in ritual, with the gentle assist of an "angel" or other surprise clues, and they inform our being, literally and figuratively. They carry mystery in their wake, often with cryptic messages or information that can later be verified or found in the physical world. Dynamic archetypes like The Quest or Hero's Journey inform and modulate our behavior.
They inspire our spiritual studies and humanitarian efforts, our self-expression, proclivities and desires. They compel our loves and help create our children, perpetuating the line. We are theirs and they are ours. We are family; we are Blood. We feel their experience from their point of view. As we collect them in name, we collect their experiences, integrating them into our own meaning.
We cultivate our own rows or lines of ancestors through genealogy, the pedigree of our origins. Genealogy and even genetic genealogy are pursuits that require interpretation of assembled data, not literal interpretation, due to hidden variables and a variety of other factors, including the interpretive bias of the researcher.
Thus, they are essentially Hermetic pursuits and should be approached as such, seeking both their wisdom and their subtle misdirection, outright lies of the past and present, misrepresentations, and other Trickster elements.
Even today, grandiose speculation often passes for science. Those unfamiliar with either subject are most likely to misinterpret their own family's functional relation to others, and likewise to misinterpret the evidence of their alleles in relation to antic origins and their meaning. Identifying SNPs from deep common ancestry, or rare SNPs related to shared characteristics helps us recognize one another as kin.
Even with scientific linkage to specific ancestral groups, self-discovery should not be confounded with personal mythology though both necessarily overlap. There is what the evidence shows or suggests, then the narrative which we construct from that limited evidence, which suggests certain things about our ourselves, our families, current and former cultures, and the future of society.
Hermeneutics is the study of theories and methods of the interpretation of systems of meaning, including interpretations of experience, or human behavior generally, including language and patterns of speech, social institutions, and ritual behaviors. It is a specific method or theory of interpretation, such as archetypal and depth psychologies, for example.
The word hermeneutics is a term derived from 'Ερμηνεýς, the Greek word for interpreter. This is related to the name of the Greek god Hermes in his role as the interpreter of the messages of the gods, the mystagogue who reveals divine mysteries.
Hermes was believed to play tricks on those he was supposed to give messages to, often changing the messages and influencing the their interpretation. The Greek word has the basic meaning of one who makes the meaning clear -- a decoder. DNA still manages to preserve its deepest secrets about who and what we are. We decode it by living our lives deeply.
The Men Who Would Be King
Your truth lies beyond any media controversies over bloodlines, false ideologies, erroneous claims, hoaxes, works of fiction, spin-doctored history, genetic superiority, occultism, vanity courts, ancient aliens, subcultures, cults, gnostic, pseudo-masonic or templar revivals, idioyncratic philosophies, or other ways people come together around their shared beliefs, real or self-delusional. Without conversation, philosophy is dogma.
There is no end to the pretentious claims of "royal" wannabees, phony personae, delusional fantasists, and obsessional megalomaniacs to be this or that reincarnation, usually to sell their "celebrity" brand. Let the buyer beware of self-styled experts with little or no traction. They are modern claimants to the mantles of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, St. Germain or any number of other illustrious figures.
By Soul, Jung is not defining something religious. He speaks of a return to the Soul of the World, the source of knowledge. Our instincts begin to grow sharper, our emotions more radical, the signs of life are of greater importance than logic, our perception of reality is no longer so rigid. We begin to deal with things we are not used to, and to react in ways that not even we ourselves would expect. Hillman speaks of soul or psyche as "a perspective rather than a substance, a viewpoint toward things rather than a thing itself."
Then we discover that if we can only manage to channel this surge of energy, it self-organizes as a very solid center, which Jung calls the Wise Old Man for men, or the Great Mother for women. It’s quite dangerous to allow this to manifest itself. Generally speaking, whoever reaches that point tends to consider himself holy, a tamer of spirits, a prophet. It's time for a reality check.
In the US, the 'New England family' - probably 100 million contemporary Americans descended from 5000 - 8000 Great Migration immigrants of 1620-50. If you have 50 or more sets (husbands and wives) of Great Migration immigrant forebears, you are probably related to almost all of the 100 million, within the range of 8th-12th cousins. The probability of kinship to notables is fully 100 percent, and the number of such 'household name' distant kin probably surpasses 500, possibly 1000." http://humphrysfamilytree.com/famous.descents.html
"Divine Pride" & Ego Inflation
So you find you come from royalty -- get over it! Many who make this discovery of ancestry become ego inflated, self-proclaiming pretentious titles to which they have no claim. Lying or confabulating does not make it so. The over-identification is the opposite of the right psychological move. At the very least, it puts the cart before the horse.
Jung describes his remedy: assimilation of contents of the collective unconscious, not through identification, but through confrontation, avoiding equation with either the lowest or highest aspects of one’s own psyche.
Jung’s warning that inflation necessarily attends identifying oneself with an archetypal motif would seem completely applicable to self-styled "royal" claimants. To do so means one is in the very first stage of initiation, utterly unconscious that the Persona or social mask is confounded with your Shadow self. It is a fallacious attempt to prop up a weak ego, not the claim of a "noble" ego or a valid claim of anything. As psychologists well know, the moral conflict is not to be settled merely by a declaration of superiority bordering on inhumanity, nor a declaration one is better than or fit to rule others in any way.
Afflicted pride is a version of ego-inflation which Jung sought to avoid by advising against identifying with assimilated contents. But people will defend their self-delusion self image to the grave, even when profoundly misconceived. It is an assurance of later problems and is an avoidance of the work of individuation. Jung's cautions are profound and serve to highlight the enormity of the task we are attempting. Jung frequently warns against the inflation attendant upon assimilation of autonomous complexes and identification with their content, as, for instance, when he says:
It will be remembered that in the analysis of the personal unconscious the first things to be added to consciousness are the personal contents and I suggested that these contents which have been repressed, but are capable of becoming conscious, should be called the personal unconscious. I also showed that to annex the deeper layers of the unconscious, which I have called the collective unconscious, produces an extension of the personality leading to the state of inflation. (Jung 1953, 7:243 )
Such misperception and misapplication of genealogy leads to positive and negative inflation and all their attendant ills:
In projection, he vacillates between an extravagant and pathological deification of the doctor, and a contempt bristling with hatred.
In introjection, he gets involved in a ridiculous self-deification, or else a moral self-laceration. The mistake he makes in both cases comes from attributing to a person the contents of the collective unconscious. In this way he makes himself or his partner either god or devil. Here we see the characteristic effect of the archetype: it seizes hold of the psyche with a kind of primeval force and compels it to transgress the bounds of humanity. It causes exaggeration, a puffed-up attitude (inflation), loss of free will, delusion, and enthusiasm in good and evil alike (Jung 1953, 7:110).
Positive inflation of the religious or megalomaniacal sort can lead to assumptions of grandeur, viewing oneself as having the universal panacea:
The second possible mode of reaction is identification with the collective psyche. This
would be equivalent to acceptance of the inflation, but now exalted into a system. In
other words, one would be the fortunate possessor of the great truth that was only
waiting to be discovered, of the eschatological knowledge that means the healing of
the nations. This attitude does not necessarily signify megalomania in direct form,
but megalomania in the milder and more familiar form it takes in the reformer, the
prophet, and the martyr. (Jung 1953, 7:260)
The prophet is convinced that he/she has the final truth but is merely inflated through identification with the forces of deep contents. The humble disciple affects the posture of only
following the master’s dictums:
But besides the possibility of becoming a prophet, there is another alluring joy,
subtler and apparently more legitimate: the joy of becoming a prophet’s disciple.…
The disciple is unworthy; modestly he sits at the Master’s feet and guards against
having ideas of his own. Mental laziness becomes a virtue; one can at least bask in
the sun of a semidivine being.…Naturally the disciples always stick together, not out
of love, but for the very understandable purpose of effortlessly confirming their own
convictions by engendering an air of collective agreement.…[J]ust as the prophet is
a primordial image from the collective psyche, so also is the disciple of the prophet.
(Jung 1953, 7:263-265)
In both cases inflation is brought about by the collective unconscious, and the independence
of the individuality suffers injury. In a similar vein:
These few examples may suffice to show what kind of spirit animated these movements. They were made up of people who identified themselves (or were identified) with God, who deemed themselves supermen, had a critical approach to the gospels, followed the promptings of the inner man, and understood the kingdom of heaven to be within. In a sense, therefore, they were modern in their outlook, but they had a religious inflation instead of the rationalistic and political psychosis that is the affliction of our day. (Jung 1969, 9:140)
Jung advises against identifying with offices and titles since such excludes the richness of our situation:
A very common instance is the humourless way in which many men identify
themselves with their business or their titles. The office I hold is certainly my special
activity; but it is also a collective factor that has come into existence historically
through the cooperation of many people and whose dignity rests solely on collective
approval. When, therefore, I identify myself with my office or title, I behave as though
I myself were the whole complex of social factors of which that office consists, or
as though I were not only the bearer of the office, but also and at the same time
the approval of society. I have made an extraordinary extension of myself and have
usurped qualities which are not in me but outside me. (Jung 1953, 7:227)
And:
There is, however, yet another thing to be learnt from this example, namely that these
transpersonal contents are not just inert or dead matter that can be annexed at will.
Rather they are living entities which exert an attractive force upon the conscious
mind. Identification with one’s office or one’s title is very attractive indeed, which
is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them
by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath all
the padding one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office—or
whatever their outer husk may be—is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for
personal deficiencies. (Jung 1953, 7:230)
The basic problem is that one has lost a healthy respect for the need to mediate between the
conscious and the unconscious, thereby (in one version) inflating the importance of the ego.

Understanding the Numbers
The Pyramid Theory, a doubling of ancestors each generation back, claims you have 2048 ancestors by the 12th generation in your past, and possibly 60,000 direct ancestors going back to the Crusades. By Generation #40, you would have more than one trillion ancestors.
About 360 years, or just short of 15 generations mtDNA peters out. At 15 generations, an individual living today would carry only three thousands of 1% (00.003052%) of the DNA of an ancestor who was “pure” anything 15 generations ago. So even if one ancestor was indeed Mediterranean or whatever 15 generations ago, unless they continuously intermarried within a pure Mediterranean population, the amount would drop by 50% with each generation to the miniscule amount that would be found in today’s current generation. With today’s technology, this is simply untraceable in autosomal DNA.
We are at the end of a long and winding genetic journey that continues after and through us. We are probably all connected by the 25th gr-grandparents, if you do the math. There is a great possibility that we are descendants (or are related) from almost everyone alive some seven hundred years ago. With our parents' generation as Nº 1, the number of persons is 33,554,432.
That number is the theoretical result of (x2) progression, since many of those ancestors are the same persons. The genealogical evidence shows that many of the families intermarried for generations, producing a rich genealogical matrix.
Yet, somehow a determined gen can survive intact through all those descendants and become a particle of memory that will give you a dejá vu once in a while. Ancestral memories may not be of actual events. They should not to be confused with the idea of past life or reincarnation as they are reactive response patterns and emotional states brought about by environment.
The past has gone and the future has yet to come. All you have is the present.
Those Who Give Us Faces
"Our Lives Are Not Our Own; They Belong to Others"
"Our Lives Are Not Our Own; They Belong to Others"
All of your ancient ancestors had one thing in common--they were survivors who overcame daunting obstacles and hardships in their natural world. Your DNA is a legacy passed down to you from thousands of generations of fittest individuals. You have the best of their collective genes, all meticulously spelled out within the DNA of your genome.
Yours is a bloodline of courageous souls who conquered tough times by growing tougher themselves. Their hardiness lives on in you, but you will never see it fully manifest while just coasting along on the path of least resistance. No, if you want to grow stronger, you will have to push yourself physically, like your ancestors did.

Usually, the term “Descents from Antiquity” refers to modern efforts to find plausible lines of descent. However, it can also include traditional descents that have varying degrees of reliability.
This project is designed to help clean up the many fictitious genealogies and to focus attention on legitimate debate about extending our shared genealogy. You can help us by identifying questionable lines. It is generally unhelpful to simply say something like, “No one can prove a descent from Julius Caesar.” What is most helpful is to identify the specific generations where the evidence fails, search for reliable sources, then start a discussion.
Because Geni is a collaborative environment, you should be cautious about cutting any connections mentioned here without starting a discussion and giving other users ample opportunity to weigh in.
Medieval forgeries
A common belief in antiquity and in the middle ages was that tribes took their name from a common ancestor. For example, the Historia Brittonum (Nennius, 9th century) names Alanus as the first man to live in Europe. He had a son Hiscion, and Hiscion’s four sons Francus, Romanus, Alamanus, and Brutus were the ancestors respectively of the French, Romans, Germans, and British. The name of this Alanus was probably a corrupted form of Mannus, the Old Germanic god who was the ancestor of mankind. Some scholars believe that Mannus was another name for Bor, the father of the god Odin in Norse tradition. In English, German and the Scandinavian languages we get our word man from Mannus.
When the Europeans converted to Christianity, they had a problem. Their royal families were only a few generations removed from the old gods. And, worse. Exposed to Roman arts and sciences, they discovered the idea of “historical time”. The world was older than they had ever thought about. Their royal pedigrees weren’t long enough to go back to the creation of the world.
From the Romans they learned that modern science had proved that everyone on earth was descended from Adam and Eve. (It said so in the Christian scriptures, which were absolutely true -- according the scholars.)
The answer was simple and obvious. The old gods had to have been humans, famous men and great warriors who came to worshipped as gods. And, if they were human, they must have been descended from Adam and Eve like everyone else. The trick was to figure out how.
One of the earliest surviving attempts to create this kind of genealogy is the Historia Brittonum by the Welsh monk Nennius (9th century), who recorded the following genealogy:
(1) Noah, his son (2) Japheth, his son (3) Joham, his son (4) Jobath, his son (5) Bath, his son (6) Hisrau, his son (7) Esraa, his son (8) Ra, his son (9) Aber, his son (10) Ooth, his son (11) Ethec, his son (12) Aurthack, his son (13) Ecthactur, his son (14) Ecthactur, his son (15) Mair, his son (16) Semion, his son (17) Boibus, his son (18) Thoi, his son (19) Ogomuin, his son (20) Fethuir, and his son (21) Alanus.
Nennius also tied Alanus to Rome by making him a husband of Rhea Silvia, whose twin sons Romulus and Remus are said to have founded Rome in 753 BCE. The connection is scarcely credible historically, but served neatly to graft the eponymous ancestors of the northern Europeans onto classical tradition by making them brothers of Romulus, the eponymous ancestor of the Romans.
These medieval genealogies connecting ancient kings to Adam are pure invention. They are interesting now because they show the history of history.
England
The Anglo-Saxons, forerunners of the modern English, were ruled by kings who claimed to be descended from the god Woden (Odin in the Norse versions). In later Scandinavian versions, Woden was the son of Bor, son of Búri. Some scholars believe that in the Germanic version, which included the Anglo-Saxons, Woden was the son of Mannus, the ancestor of mankind, who was son of Tuisto.
English monks kept Woden, but dumped Bor and Búri. They “discovered” that Woden was descended from Noah, but the process took several tries.
In one place, the 9th century Anglo-Saxon chronicle gives the following line. There are too few generations here, but this fragment might preserve the earliest non-divine version of Woden’s ancestry.
(1) Noah, his son (2) ---, his son (3) Finn, who was born in the ark, his son (4) Freothelaf, his son (5) Frithuwald, his son (6) Woden.
About the same time, Nennius in his Historia Brittonum gives a slightly different version. Here we get two more generations beyond Finn, which might also represent an authentic tradition.
(1) Geat, “who, as they say, was the son of a god”, his son (2) Godwulf, his son (3) Finn, his son (4) Frithuwulf, his son (5) Frithowald, and his son (6) Woden.
Nennius gives us more theology than genealogy. He says that Geat “as they say, was the son of a god, not of the omnipotent God and our Lord Jesus Christ (who before the beginning of the world, was with the Father and the Holy Spirit, co-eternal and of the same substance, and who, in compassion to human nature, disdained not to assume the form of a servant), but the offspring of one of their idols, and whom, blinded by some demon, they worshipped according to the custom of the heathen.”
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a collection of documents rather than a single document. In another place (855), it gives a fuller line.
(1) Noe [Noah], his son (2) Sceaf, his son (3) Bedwig Sceafing, his son (4) Hwala Bedwiging, his son (5) Haþra Hwalaing, his son (6) Itermon Haðraing, his son (7) Heremod Itermoning, his son (8) Sceldwea Heremoding, his son (9) Beaw Sceldwaing, his son (10) Taetwa Beawing, his son (11) Geat Taetwaing, his son (12) God wulf Geating, his son (13) Fin Godwulfing, his son (14) Frealaf Finning, and his son (15) Woden Frealafing. (Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, Plummer and Earle (eds.), 66, 67 and note 6).
A note says, “id est filius Noe se waes geboren on þaere earce Noes.” That is, “he [Sceaf] is the son of Noah, he was born in Noah’s ark.” This detail ties the old pagan tradition to the new Christian tradition. Sceaf was a Norse god who arrived by boat as a baby to rule the Danes. Now, he is neatly made the son of the Christian ark builder.
Later monks, perhaps competing for prestige with the Franks, decided to dump Noah and take Woden’s ancestry back to Troy, then connect the Trojans to the Jewish scriptures. This version runs as follows. Note that the names of the new generations, between (10) and (16) have been drawn chiefly from nicknames of the old god Thor. Some of the other names might have been invented in a similar way.
(1) Judah, ancestor of the tribe of Judah, his son (2) Zara, his son (3) Darda, his son (4) Erichthonious, his son (5) Tros, his son (6) Ilus, his son (7) Laomedon, his son (8) Tithonius, his son (9) Memnon, his son (10) Thor, his son (11) Einridi, his son (12) Vingethor, his son (13) Vingener, his son (14) Móda, his son (15) Magi [Noe], his son (16) Sceaf [Seskef], his son (17) Bedwig [Bedvig], his son (18) Hwala, his son (19) Hrathra [Annarr], his son (20) Itermon [Ítermann], his son (21) Heremod [Heremód], his son (22) Heremod [Heremód], his son (23) Beaw [Bjárr], his son (24) Tætwa, his son (25) Geat [Ját], his son (26) Godwulf [Gudólfr], his son (27) Finn, his son (28) Frithuwulf, his son (29) Frealaf [Fridleifr], his son Frealaf [Fridleifr], his son (30) Freawine, his son (31) Frithuwald, and his son (32) Woden.
Attempts to reconcile these genealogies by equating the human Frithuwald with the divine Bor, and the human Frealaf with divine Búri have been problematic, because they end by giving Woden a set of mythical relatives that include the Ice Giants.
France
The Franks, a confederation of Germanic tribes that formed the core of modern France, claimed descent from Francus (or Francio). According to one version of the story, Francus and his people were defeated by the Roman general Drusus in 11 BCE. Francus was killed, and they were relocated to the region between the Rhine and the Danube.
Frankish monks linked Francus to the kings of Troy. The Chronicle of Fredegar (7th century) mentions the legend. It was elaborated in the Liber historiae Francorum (probably 727). Successive generations continued adding new details.
In other words, the Franks claimed to be the distant cousins of the Romans (who claimed descent from Aeneas, another Trojan). It was a nice piece of political propaganda because it fit nicely with two things the Franks wanted to emphasize: (1) as cousins of the Romans they were equal to the Romans, and (2) as cousins and equals, they were the legitimate successors of the Roman empire.
The Grandes Chroniques de France (13th - 15th centuries), a vast compilation of historic material, refers to the Trojan origins of the French dynasty.
Johannes Trithemius' De origine gentis Francorum compendium (1514) describes the Franks as originally Trojans (called "Sicambers" or "Sicambrians") after the fall of Troy who came into Gaul after being forced out of the area around the mouth of the Danube by the Goths in 439 BCE (1:33). He also details the reigns of each of these kings—including Francus (43:76) from whom the Franks are named—and their battles with the Gauls, Goths, Saxons, etc.

Ireland John O'Hart (1824-1902), an Irish genealogist used ancient sources, such as the Lebor Gabála Érenn and the Annals of the Four Masters, to compile a genealogical history of Ireland, Irish pedigrees; or, The origin and stem of the Irish nation (1876). According to his work, the Irish kings are descended from Adam as follows:
- Adam

- Enos
- Cainan
- Mahalaleel
- Jared
- Enoch
- Methuselah
- Lamech
- Noah
- Japhet
- Magog
- Baoth ("to whom Scythia came as his lot")
- Phoeniusa Farsaidh (Fenius Farsa), King of Scythia
- Neuil
- Gaodhal (Gathelus), married Scota
- Asruth
- Sruth (who fled Egypt to Creta)
- Heber Scut (returned to Scythia)
- Beouman, King of Scythia
- Ogaman, King of Scythia
- Tait, King of Scythia
- Agnon (who fled Scythia by sea with the majority of his people)
- Lamhfionn (who led his people to Gothia or Getulia, where Carthage was afterwards built)
- Heber Glunfionn, King of Gothia

- Breoghan, King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal
- Bile, King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal
- Galamh (also known as Milesius of Spain), King of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal, married Scota

Note: We need to clarify the extent to which O’Hart’s genealogies follow ancient sources, and whether any of it was his own invention.
Ostrogoths The historian Jordanes wrote De origine actibusque Getarum ((The Origin and Deeds of the Getae/Goths, c531), commonly called the Getica. In it, he gives the history of the Goths.
Jordanes traces the Ostrogothic royal family, the Amelungs (Amali), to Hulmul, son of Gapt (Getica, 14). This Gapt is thought to be the same person as the Norse god Gaut or Geat. His son Hulmul was probably the same person as Humli, the ancestor of the Danes in Norse tradition. In a vairant version, Hervarar saga ok Heiðreks (13th century) says, "Of old, they say, Humli over Huns did rule, Gizur the Gauts, the Goths Angantyr, Valdar the Danes, the Romans Kjar, Alrek the Valiant the English people."
The genealogy seems to be artificial. Athalaric (?-534), king of the Ostrogoths in Jordanes time, is presented as the 17th Amal king of the Goths since Gapt, just as there had been 17 Roman kings between Aeneas and Romulus. Thus, the Amal dynasty presented itself as a second gens Iulia, ruling both Romans and Goths. In fact, the Amal dynasty is documented no earlier than Theodoric's father or grandfather, an ally of Attila the Hun. The Goths themselves are documented no earlier than 291.

Aeneas Gens Iulia, the family to which Julius Caesar belonged, claimed descent from the Roman goddess Venus (Greek: Aphrodite) through Aeneas, her son by her lover Anchises, who was a Trojan prince.
The legend that Aeneas escaped the Fall of Troy (about 1200 BCE) and journeyed to Italy goes back to at least the 5th century BCE. By 400 BCE, Aeneas was being venerated in Italy as the god Iuppiter Indiges, the tribal ancestor of Latins and Etruscans.
In some Roman traditions, Iulus, the semi-divine ancestor of gens Iulia, was identical with Aeneas’ son Ascanius (Vergil). In other traditions, Iulus was the son of Aeneas by his Trojan wife, Creusa, while Ascanius was the son of Aeneas' Latin wife Lavinia, daughter of Latinus (Livy). And, in still another tradition, Iulus was son of Ascanius, and disputed the throne with Silvius after Ascanius' death (Dionysius of Halicarnasus).
When medieval monks were inventing new genealogies Aeneas was a popular figure. In the Norse saga, the Deluding of Gylfe, he is called Anea. Medieval Welsh genealogies called him Annyn Tro. In one Welsh source he is called a son of Brydain (eponymous of Britain) and a grandson of Aedd Mawr (Edward the Great) who lived about 1300 BCE. These chronologies are too confused to be credible.
Anna, kinswoman of the Virgin Mary
The early Welsh royal families claimed to be relatives of the family of Jesus.
According to Harleian MS. 3958, Beli Mawr was husband to Anna (who may be a confabulation of Dôn), a "near kinswoman [consobrina] of the Virgin Mary." A medieval tradition identifies her as a sister (or daughter) of Joseph of Arimathea, but the tradition is not old enough to be authentic. There is no reason to think she was an historical figure.
Dôn seems to have been a Christianized version of the Celtic goddess Anû, the mother goddess of the Celts. In Gaul she was called Belisama. In Ireland she was Danu, the matriarch of the Túatha Dé Danann, who took their name from her. The Mabinogion, a collection of Welsh legends, calls her Dôn, sister of Mâth mab Mathonwy, King of Gwynedd.
"Chronologically speaking, if Anna married a Briton after her father arrived in this country, then we must assume that she was nearer to Jesus' age than her cousin, Mary (ie. born c. 0). Beli is recorded in the Mabinogion and Welsh Genealogies as having been the father of Caswallon (or Cassivellaunus), the leader of the Celtic tribes who repelled Cæsar's invasions of 55 & 54 bc. He could, therefore, not possibly have married Anna of Arimathea. Moreover, the local ruler whom Joseph received his land gift from, is said to have been Arfyrag (or Arviragus), Beli & Anna's supposed great great grandson." (David Nash Ford, "St. Joseph of Arimathea: Ancestor of Kings?" in Early British Kingdoms (visited Nov. 21, 2011).
King Arthur
If King Arthur was a real person, as many scholars believe, then he was a war leader in 6th century Britain. Some part of his life might have been authentically recorded by English monks such as Gildas (c500-570), Bede (672/3-736), Nennius (9th century), and Geoffrey of Monmouth (c1100-c1155). However, these accounts are confused and contradictory. Arthur might have been related in some way to the Roman aristocrat Ambrosius Aurelianus, although the relationship is first recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth, who was writing 600 years later.
There is no doubt about Ambrosius’ existence. He was mentioned in a near contemporary document by the monk Gildas, who says he won an important battle against the invading Anglo-Saxons. Some scholars believe it is possible to sketch a brief genealogy for Ambrosius, perhaps from the Roman usurper Constantine III or from a distant cousin of the Emperor Theodosius I (or both).
In modern times there has been an explosion of genealogies drawn from Grail romances that turn fictional characters from the 11th and 12th centuries into historical people. The seminal works for these genealogies are Holy Blood, Holy Gail, by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln (1982) and Bloodline of the Holy Grail, by Laurence Gardner (1996). They are best characterized as “alternative history”.
Beli Mawr
The early Welsh royal families claimed to be descended from Beli Mawr.
Beli Mawr was in fact a Welsh version the Celtic sun god. Among the Brythonic Celts he was Belenus (the Shining One), a fertility god who looked after sheep and cattle. In Ireland, he was Bilé, the god of death. His festival was Beltaine (Fire of Bel), held May 1st. On that day, purifying fires were lit.
According to the Mabinogion his name was Beli son of Mynogan. Wikipedia says, "However, it should be noted that in medieval Welsh tradition, Beli Mawr is often given the patronymic fab Manogan / Mynogan ("son of Manogan"). This appears to derive from a textual garbling of the name of a real historical figure, Adminius, son of Cunobelinus; after being transmitted through the Roman authors Suetonius and Orosius, this name became Bellinus filius Minocanni in the medieval Latin text from Wales, Historia Brittonum. Thus, although Beli became a separate personage in medieval pseudohistory from Cunobelinus (Welsh Cynfelyn, Shakespeare's Cymbeline), he was generally presented as a king reigning in the period immediately before the Roman invasion; his "son" Caswallawn is the historical Cassivellaunus."
According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, his name was Heli, he succeeded his father Digueillus, and he reigned 40 years.
The Mabinogion names his three sons as Lludd, Casswallawn and Nynnyaw, or four sons Lludd, Casswallawn, Llevelys and Eveyd. According to Geoffrey of Monmouth, he had three sons, Lud, Cassivelaunus and Nennius.
Brân the Blessed The early Welsh royal families claimed to be descended from Brân the Blessed and his father Llŷr Llediath.
Brân was legendary king of the Silures, probably originating as a Christianized form of the Celtic god Brân. He is one of the principal characters of the 1st Branch of the Mabinogion, which begins "Bran the Blessed (Bendigeidfran), the son of Llyr and Penarddun, daughter of Beli son of Mynogan, was ruler of Britain. Bran was the brother of Manawyddan and Branwen (Bronwen), and the half-brother of Nissyen and Evnissyen." He is said to have been succeeded by his uncle Caswallawn.
In Christian legend Brân is said to have been baptized in Rome in 36 CE. "Bran was said to have been taken as a captive to Rome where he joined the household of St. Paul. Returning to Britain, with SS. Aristobulus and Joseph of Arimathea some years later, he became among the first to introduce Christianity to the Island, hence his epithet of "the Blessed". This whole story is a late 17th century fabrication based on misinformation." (David Nash Ford, "Bran Fendigaid alias Bendigeitvran: Celtic God of Regeneration" in Early British Kingdoms(http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/bios/bran.html, visited Nov. 21, 2011)
The story of Brân's conversion to Christianity is probably a confusion with the historical Cunobelin (Arfyrag's father) who was thought to have been taken captive to Rome where he became converted to Christianity. (David Nash Ford, "St. Joseph of Arimathea: Ancestor of Kings?" in Early British Kingdoms (http://www.earlybritishkingdoms.com/articles/josanc.html, visited Nov. 21, 2011). Brân and Cunobelin both had sons named Caradoc, and the different Caradocs became confused. There is, no doubt an added confusion of Caradocs here, as far too few generations are given.
In Arthurian romance Brân became Bron(s), the Fisher King. He is said to have married Enygeus, a sister of Joseph of Arimathea and of Anna the Prophetess (perhaps the same person as Anna, the near kinswoman of the Virgin Mary. She had 12 sons, including Alain de Borron. This story mangles the earlier version, in which Brân was a grandson of Anna, the sister (or daughter) of Joseph of Arimathea.
In the Arthurian romance 'Bonedd yr Arwyr, Brân is made both a paternal and maternal ancestor of King Arthur.
Brutus The early Welsh kings claimed descent from Brutus, the legendary 1st King of Britain, which is said to have been named for him.
Welsh genealogists called him Brwt. He is said to have founded Troia Nova ("New Troy"), which became corrupted to Trinovantum, and now is London. He is not mentioned in any classical source and is not considered to be historical.
Brutus was first mentioned in the 9th century, by Nennius, who says he was a son of Hiscion, grandson of Alanus (Mannus), and a descendant of Noah. One variant makes him a grandson or great grandson of the Trojan hero Aeneas, great grandson of the legendary Roman king Numa Pompilius, and traces his genealogy to Japheth, son of Noah. Another variant makes him the son of Silvius and grandson of Ascanius, the father of Aeneas, and traces his genealogy to Ham, son of Noah. [Historia Brittonum.]
Geoffrey of Monmouth says Brutus was son of Silvius and grandson of Ascanius. He was exiled from Italy. He went to Greece, and liberated the Trojans enslaved there. Then, he crossed to the island of Albion, which he re-named for himself, and became the first king. After his death, each of his sons received one-third of Britain, Locrinus (England), Albanactus (Scotland) and Kamber (Wales).
Many scholars believe the Hiscion son of Alanus named by Nennius as Brutus' father was identical to the Istro son of Mannus, who appears in Germanic tradition as the eponymous ancestor of the Istvaeones, one of the three divisions of Germanic proto-tribes.
Charlemagne Millions of people in the world today are descendants of the Frankish emperor Charlemagne, and they can prove it. Charlemagne’s family were upstarts, however. There are no proven links between Charlemagne and his predecessors in the Merovingian dynasty. In fact, Charlemagne has only 10 proven ancestors. Using Ahnentafel numbering, his ancestry looks like this:
- Charlemagne
- Pepin the Short, father
- Bertrade of Laon, mother
- Charles Martel, father’s father
- Rotrude, father’s mother
- Caribert of Laon, mother’s father
- ---
- Pepin of Herstal, father’s father’s father
- Alpaida, father’s father’s mother
- ---
- ---
- ---
- Bertrada of Prüm, mother’s father’s mother
- ---
- ---
- Ansegisel, father’s father’s father’s father
- Begga, father’s father’s father’s mother
Some modern scholars, working with original documents, believe they have found evidence to show that Charlemagne’s ancestry can be traced, probably, to an old Roman senatorial family. The reconstruction is plausible, because the Franks who Charlemagne ruled had conquered the old Roman province of Gaul in 486, and the Franks are known to have intermarried with the surviving Gallo-Roman aristocracy.
- Flavius Afranius Syagrius, of Lyons; a Gallo-Roman senator
- (Syagria), his unknown daughter; married Ferreolus
- Tonantius Ferreolus, a Gallo-Roman senator; married Papianilla, clarissima femina, a relative of the Papianilla who was a daughter of the emperor Avitus, and who married Sidonius Apollinaris
- Tonantius Ferreolus, a Gallo-Roman senator; married Industria
- Ferreolus, a Gallo-Roman senator; married Dode, abbess of St.-Pierre de Rheims
- Ansbert, a senator; married Bilichilde
- Arnoald, Bishop of Metz
- Dode, probably his daughter; married St. Arnulf, Bishop of Metz
- Ansegisel, probably their son; married St. Begga; daughter of Pepin I, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia
- Pepin of Herstal, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia; married Alpais / Alpaida
- Charles Martel, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia; married Rotrude
- Pepin the Short, Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia; married Bertrada of Laon
- Charlemagne
Using this reconstruction as a starting point, many other scholars have attempted to extend Charlemagne’s ancestry further, with varying degrees of success.
Charles Constantine Charles Constantine (c903-c962), comte de Vienne and de Bellay, was a son of Louis III the Blind (c883-928), Holy Roman Emperor. His mother was either the Burgundian princess Adelais or the Byzantine princess Anna Myakes.
The debate over Charles Constantine’s ancestry is very heated. Anna Myakes was a daughter of the Byzantine emperor Leo VI. There were negotiations to betroth her to Louis III but it isn't clear whether the marriage ever took place. If the marriage did take place, and if Charles Constantine was a son of that marriage, his ancestry would include Byzantine emperors Leo VI and Leo's father, either Basil I or Michael III.
A key part of the debate is whether Charles really had the nickname Constantine. The name was uncommon in the west, so it supports the theory, accepted by Septimani, that his mother was the Byzantine princess Anna. However, the name might refer only to his imperial ancestry. Flodoard (894-966) called him Charles Constantine, but the evidence that he used the name in his lifetime is too weak to be reliable. A diploma of his father and his own charters call him only Charles.
Érimón mac Míl Espáine According to ancient Irish sources Érimón mac Míl Espáine brought his people, the Milesians, to Ireland about 500 BCE, and conquered it from an older race, the Tuatha Dé Danann. (See the Lebor Gabála Érenn, and others.) The story might (very arguably) have some foundation, but cannot be proven or disproven. (See above, under Ireland)
Francus French monks claimed that a Trojan prince, Francus, was the eponymous ancestor of the Frankish kings. Francus is first mentioned in Nennius' Historia Brittonum (8th century) as the son of Hiscion, and eponymous ancestor of the Franks. His Trojan ancestry came later.
In the Renaissance, Francus was generally considered to be another name for the Trojan hero Astyanax (son of Hector), who was saved from the destruction of Troy.
Jean Lemaire de Belges's Illustrations de Gaule et Singularités de Troie (1510–12) has Astyanax survive the fall of Troy and arrive in Western Europe. He changes his name to Francus and becomes king of Celtic Gaul (while, at the same time, Bavo, cousin of Priam, comes to the city of Trier) and founds the dynasty leading to Pepin and Charlemagne.[9] He is said to have founded and named the city of Paris in honor of his uncle Paris.
Gilles Corrozet's La Fleur des antiquitez... de Paris (1532) describes the French king Francis I as the 64th descendant of Hector of Troy.
In Pierre de Ronsard's epic poem La Franciade (1572), the god Jupiter saves Astyanax (renamed Francus). The young hero arrives in Crete and falls in love with the princess Hyanthe with whom he is destined to found the royal dynasty of France.

Genuissa, wife of Arvirargus Venissa (Genissa, Genvissa, Genuissa) is a fictional person who serves to link the Welsh kings to ancient Rome.
According to Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th century Historia Regum Britanniae, she was a daughter of the Roman Emperor Claudius, whom he gave in marriage to the British king Arvirargus once he had submitted to Rome.
According to Geoffrey's account she was very beautiful, and so enchanted Arvirargus that he preferred her company to anyone else's. He founded Gloucester, supposedly named after Claudius, in her honour. When Arvirargus fell out with Rome and Vespasian was sent to enforce a reconciliation, Venissa acted as mediator between them.
Venissa cannot be considered historical. She is not mentioned in authentic Roman history; her supposed husband Arvirargus is known only from a cryptic reference in Satire IV, a 2nd century satirical poem by Juvenal; and it is in any case inconceivable that a daughter, even an illegitimate daughter, of a Roman emperor could be given in marriage to a barbarian without attracting comment. Nonetheless, she and her husband, identified with the historical Caratacus, appear in many uncritical genealogies originating in the Tudor period.

Joseph of Arimathea The Christian scriptures say that Joseph of Arimathea was an influential member of the Sanhedrin who petitioned Pontius Pilate for Jesus’ body, but give no details about his life or family. According to the Talmud, he was the younger brother of the father of the Virgin Mary. That is, he was Mary's uncle and Jesus' great-uncle.
Some modern writers venture that he might be identified with Josephus (Jewish: Yosef ben Matityahu, Roman: Titus Flavius Josephus), a Jewish historian and an apologist for the Roman empire. However, scholars dismiss the idea. Josephus was born in 37 CE, making him a generation younger than Jesus, so it would not be possible he was Jesus' great uncle.
The first mention of Joseph of Arimathea in connection with Britain is the Life of Mary Magdalene by Rabanus Maurus (766-856), Archbishop of Mainz. Jseoph first appears as the legendary Keeper of the Holy Grail in Robert de Boron's Joseph d'Arimathie (early 13th century), which says he settled in Britain after the Crucifixion of Jesus, bringing the Holy Grail with him. The story spawned a rich literature on the same theme. Later tradition says he was a wealthy merchant who owned tin mines in Cornwall. Some popular fiction has him bringing Jesus with him to Britain to be trained by Druids there.
Lleuver Mawr (to be added)
Llyr Lediaith The early Welsh royal families claimed to be descended from Llŷr Llediath.and his son Brân the Blessed.
The story is not reliable. Llyr was a Celtic sea god, cognate of the Irish god Lir, but perhaps also a historical King of the Silures. As an historical figure, he is said to have been educated in Rome by Augustus Caesar. His home was at Dunraven castle, situated on a hill called Twyn Rhyvan (the Hill of Rome) in Glamorgan.
He was used by Shakespeare as a prototype for King Lear.
Makhir of Narbonne
Makhir of Narbonne (8th century) was the leader of the Jewish community of Narbonne, and the ancestor of an important family there. Prof. Arthur Zuckerman suggested that he was the same person as Natronai ben Habibi, an exilarch who was deposed and exiled from Baghdad (A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 1972). He also suggested that Makhir was the same person as Maghario, Count of Narbonne.
Zuckerman went further. In the poem Willehalm by Wolfram von Eschenbach (c1170-c1220), the hero Guillem de Gellone is the son of Aymeri de Narbonne by his wife Alda / Aldana, daughter of Charles Martel. Guillem de Gellone's real-life counterpart was Guillaume I, comte de Toulouse, son of Theodoric, a count in Septimania. Zuckerman suggested that the poem changed the names, but memorialized actual relationships. So, Guillaume's father Theodoric must have been the same person as Aymeri. Then, Zuckerman identified Theodoric / Aymeri with Makhi / Natronai / Maghario.
Scholars have dismissed Zuckerman's methodology as flawed. Nevertheless, Guillaume de Toulouse might have been Jewish. He led the Frankish forces when they captured Barcelona in 801. The campaign was memorialized in a poem In honorem Hludovici imperatoris ("In honour of Emperor Louis") (826), by Ermoldus Nigellus. The poem uses Jewish dating and portrays Guillaume de Toulouse as an observant Jew.
Muhammad
Modern genealogists have attempted to find a line of descent from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the rulers of Muslim Spain.
There is a possible line, through Zaida, the wife or concubine of Alfonso VI of Castile, but it is disputed.
The first problem with the line is that it comes through Ayesha, the wife of Yazîd I, the 2nd Umayyad Caliph (680-683). The Caliph’s descendants claimed that Ayesha was a daughter of Mohammad, a link that would substantially enhance their legitimacy. However, Muslim scholars say she was Muhammad's step-daughter, not his daughter. The title Sharif is accorded only to descendants of Muhammad’s daughter Fatima.
The second problem is that it is not entirely clear that Zaïda was really descended from Ayesha. Zaïda was a daughter-in-law (and probably also niece) of al-Mutamid, ruler of the taifa of Seville. He was a descendant of Ayesha, and if she was his niece, she shared that descent. Zaïda’s first husband was (her cousin?) Fath al-Ma'mum, the ruler of Córdoba and son of the Emir of Seville. He was killed in 1091 while trying to escape a seige of Córdoba. Zaïda made her way as a refugee to the court of Alfonso VI. He was already mature (age 51), married to a queen who was ill, and was lacking a male heir. Zaïda became his concubine, converted to Christianity, and took the Christian name Isabel. She bore Alfonso his only surviving son Sancho. It is not clear whether Alfonso subsequently married her. Her tombstone, erected long after her death, says, "Aqui descansa la reina Isabel, mujer del rey Alfonso, hija de Aben-Abeth, rey de Sevilla; que antes se llamaba Zayda," which translates as "here lies Queen Elizabeth, wife of King Alfonso, daughter of Aben-abeth, king of Seville; previously called Zaïda."
The third problem is that there are no known descents from Zaïda. Her only proven son Sancho died in childhood. It’s possible, however, that Zaïda might have been the same person as Alfonso’s wife Elisabeth. Elisabeth had two daughters who became the ancestors of many European royal families. Elisabeth’s burial plaque, erected long after her death, says she was a daughter of Louis [VI], but that would be chronologically impossible. She might have been a sister of Louis VI, or the plaque might be an attempt to disguise her non-Christian identity.
Pagano Ebriaci Pagano Ebriaci (?-c1091), of Pisa, ancestor of the Christian Ebriaci family, might have been a convert from Judaism, a son of Joseph of Fustat. The relationship is conjectural, and seems to have originated in the suggestion that the surname Ebriaci means "the Hebrew". Another theory is that the name Ebriaci might derive from a Latin word meaning drunk.
If Pagano Ebriaci was a son of Joseph of Fustat, then he was a grandson of Hezekiah IV, 38th Exilarch and a descendant of King David.
Pagano Ebriaci was an ancestor of Edmund FitzAlan, 9th Earl of Arundel, through Manfredo III, marchese di Saluzzo.
Scota
She is a legendary figure from whom the Scots took their name. She is said to have been the daughter of an unnamed Egyptian pharaoh. The context of her story shows that the Irish thought of her as a daughter of the pharaoh of the Exodus and a contemporary of Moses.
There are two different versions of her place in the genealogy. She was the wife either of Gaodhal Glas or of his descendant Míl Espáine.
An 11th century rescenison of the Historia Brittonum menions Scota. She also appears in the Book of Leinster, a 12th century redaction of the Lebor Gabála Érenn, where she married Geytholos (Gaodhal Glas). The earliest Scottish sources claim Geytholos was "a certain king of the countries of Greece, Neolus, or Heolaus, by name", while the Leinster redaction of the Lebor Gabála Érenn calls him a Scythian.
In variant manuscripts of the Lebor Gabála Érenn, Scota's husband was Míl Espáine.
Faced with the discrepancy, modern genealogists have created two Scotas.
There are many guesses about her father, Scota the wife of Gaodhal Glas being (perhaps) daughter of Pharaoh Cingeris, and Scota the wife of Míl Espáine being (perhaps) daughter of Pharaoh Nactabaeus. Both pharaohs are named only in medieval Irish sources, not in Egyptian sources.
Some genealogists make one or both women the daughter of whichever pharaoh they believe was the pharaoh of the Exodus.
Tamar Tephi
Tamar Tephi and Teia Tephei are said to have been daughters of Zedekiah, King of Judah, but they are fictitious. Their descents from the kings of Judah is a 19th century fraud, from a misreading of old Irish sources.
According to the colorful story, Tamar Tephi and her sister Teia avoided the fate of their brothers, who were killed by the King of Babylon at Riblah. The prophet Jeremiah spirited them off to Ireland via Egypt and Spain, along with the Stone of the Covenant, which became known as Lia Fail (Stone of Destiny). (We are left wondering why Jeremiah was not equally helpful to the rest of the royal family.)

400 generations ago; our farming mother
Our Farming Mother and The Birth of Warfare As the "Ice Age snow turns to summer rain" a mere 400 generations ago - less than 10,000 years - what historians refer to as "our farming mother" discovered that seeds from wild grains could be planted, nurtured, cultivated and harvested. "What she invents," says Brolin, "changes the pace of the human story; gives rise to cities, new technology, poverty, disease and war."
Mankind shows us those first farms in the Middle East and the first farming villages that dot the landscape of ancient Britain in 3,000 BC, but also the warfare that is born as men fight for farm land and harvests. As settlements grow, so do religions, empires and such "monuments to the dead" as Stonehenge and the great Pyramids -a "resurrection machine for pharaoh," which we see rise before us in dramatizations, like Cecile B. DeMille.
Suppose that you wanted a written record of your every ancestor…if you use the Pyramid Theory, a doubling of ancestors each generation back, you have 2048 ancestors by the 12th generation in your past, and possibly 60,000 direct ancestors going back to the Crusades.

Who are Desposyni?
They come from two distinct families: descendants of Joseph of Arimathea and the descendants of the couple formed by Jesus and Mary Magdalene.
Joseph of Arimathea, Grand Master of the Nazarene Sanhedrin and dignitary, was the brother of the father of Mary (the mother of Jésuset Nazarene High Priestess). Joseph of Arimathea was, therefore, the great uncle of Jesus. The second uncle of Mary was Zechariah the High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem Nazarene Grand Master, the father of John the Baptist (ascetic Essene). It is therefore not surprising that while Desposyni from two distinct branches are one and the same family.
Branch of the descendants of Joseph of Arimathea spread beyond Judea and strain caused in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Among the most famous, this branch has illustrious names such as Kings of Britain Coellyn, Lucius Mawr of Ewyas, Cunedd Camu-Lot, Helen wife of the Roman Emperor Constantius I, King Catheloys fisherman who has distinction of being resulting from the branch of the descendants of the second son of Jesus (Yeshuah Joseph by his father and the branch of Joseph of Arimathea by his mother Eurgen Cumbria.
Branch of Desposynique Sarah Damaris (daughter of Jesus and Mary Magdalene) joins her on the fate of pre-marrying Merovingian Anthenor IV. It was the second princess Desposyni to partner with this family since before she Athildis descendant of Joseph of Arimathea, daughter of King Coel of Camu had married King Lot Sicambre (Pre-Merovingian) Marcomir IV. The only family end of this branch, which has preserved the legacy of the Nazarene Rite was the family De Saint-Clair, a descendant of Isabelle de Vermandois.
Branch of Desposynique Yeshuah Joseph (the youngest son of Jesus and Mary Magdalene) account for the Holy Grail Carriers such as José Faye, Kings Fishermen, Nacien I of Septimania, Pellam of Burgundy, but Taliesin the Bard (known as the name of Merlin the Magician), Garin Loherain of Monglane (Perceval le Galois), Magdala Narbonne (girl Garin) the wife of Prince Rhedea Sigisbert IV

Searching Invisible Women Ancestors
http://genealogy.about.com/od/women/a/female_ancestor.htm
The individual identities of women who lived prior to the twentieth century are often very tangled in those of their husbands, both by law and by custom. In many places, women were not allowed to own real estate in their name, to sign legal documents, or to participate in government. Men wrote the histories, paid the taxes, participated in the military and left wills. Men were also the ones whose surname was carried into the next generation by the children. As a result, female ancestors are often neglected in family histories and genealogies—listed with only a first name and approximate dates for birth and death. They are our "invisible ancestors." This neglect, while understandable, is still inexcusable. Half of all of our ancestors were women. Each female in our family tree provides us with a new surname to research and an entire branch of new ancestors to discover. Women were the ones who bore the children, carried on family traditions, and ran the household. They were teachers, nurses, mothers, wives, neighbors and friends. They deserve to have their stories told - to be more than just a name on a family tree.
"Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors."
-- Abigail Adams, March 1776 So how can you, as a genealogist, locate someone who is "invisible?" Tracing the female side of your family tree can be a bit difficult and frustrating, but is also one of the most rewarding challenges of genealogy research. By following a few basic research methods, with an added measure of patience and creativity, you'll soon be learning about all of the women who passed their genes down to you. Just remember, don't give up! If your female ancestors had given up, you might not be here today.

Davidic descent of the kings of France and Europe
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k108709z.r=jacques+bouchet.langFR
We know that Sarah Damaris, daughter of Jesus married Anthenor IV, King Sicambre (pre-Merovingian) and this couple is meets the double seed of Judah, son of Jacob, the patriarch. Judah had twin children: Pharez and Zerah.
One knows the fate of Pharez, ancestor of King David, but less is known about the route of Zara, the ancestor of the Merovingians.
The Marquis of Franquerie Andre Le Sage Franquerie La La Tourre ( one thousand nine hundred and one - one thousand nine hundred ninety-two ), writer and Catholic monarchist French, detailing the route descended from Zara and some of the ten tribes that formed the roots of the monarchies of Europe.
I do not agree with the political positions of the anti-Masonic Marquis, but I respect his considerable erudition enabled him to establish the Davidic ancestry of the kings of France. This book is for sale and available on the website http :/ / thomiste.pagesperso-orange.fr/ascdav.htm .
I quote here the passages inherent in the Davidic descent of the kings of France and details gleaned from the Marquis on some of the Ten Tribes of Israel who made the Great European families.

Double posterity of Judah
Judah, the twenty fourth degree from Adam, brother of Levi, the ancestor of the High Priests, and Joseph became the prime minister of Pharaoh of Egypt, Judah, saying I had two son of Syrian Tamar and the Bible states:
"As she was about to give birth, it seemed that there were twins in her womb. And when these children were ready to leave, one of them put his hand on which the midwife tied a ribbon scarlet , saying: "It will be released first." But this child withdrew his hand, the other left. then the midwife said: "Why is it wall divided because of you? . "That is why it was named Pharez. His brother, who had scarlet ribbon by hand and then went he was named Zara." (Genesis, chap. XXXVIII, verses 27-30, cf. Matthew, I, 3).
If the Bible gives these details, it is certainly to get our attention, because it does not say anything without a reason, and an American author, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote aptly:
"Why the Bible she would tell this strange story, unless the breach has been REPAIRED later between the two brothers? Still, it was the point of their lifetime. Was it The between their descendants?
"David, Zedekiah and Jesus were the Pharez branch and not that of Zara. Consider now the following:
"I ° - the breach is repaired the SCEPTRE must pass the line of Pharez than Zara.
"2 ° - Such transfer never took place before the reign of Zedekiah, who belonged to this line of Pharez.
"3 - It follows that the transfer had to take place AFTER the death of King Zedekiah.
"4 - To the lineage of David (Pharez) remained FOREVER to the throne, it was necessary that a REVERSAL roles, a marriage took place between HEIRS of the Pharez line and those of the lineage of Zara.
"According to the story, the descendants of Zara became nomads and headed northeast, in the territory of the Scythians, to join the ten tribes.
"But while the line Pharez-David-Zedekiah (the Bible calls HIGH and HIGH) still had the SCEPTRE, the line of Zara (called LOW DOWN and) always aspired to the honor of owning one day (1)."
Or was the author of Pharez branch of Judah Royal and Zara Kings Trojans authors themselves Sicambri, one of whose leaders, Marcomir IV, and Salic direct ancestor of the three branches of the Kings of France, was married Athildis who descended in the sixth generation of Anna, cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary and daughter of Saint Joseph of Arimathea whose common ancestor was King David, Solomon and Nathan also.
The SCEPTRE thus passed saliquement branch of Pharez than Zara and also provided the seed of David in the branch of Zara by several marriages, including Anna and Athildis above mentioned and previously by Tea Tephi the daughter of the last king of Judah by the kings of Ireland and Scotland, the ancestors of most European Sovereign Houses, as we shall see.
The ten tribes of Israel deported away from their country, did not return to Palestine but lost their national identity. The Jewish historian says: "The ten tribes of Israel, forming an immense multitude are so far beyond the river Euphrates" (Josephus - Jewish Antiquities, Volume II, Chapter 5).
They dispersed in the world among the Gentiles, especially to the West.
The Israeli population, transplanted by the collapse of the Assyrian empire, to 609 BC, settled along the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. During this collapse, the other tribes hitherto remained under the yoke were rejected further west towards Western Europe and became nomads.
Didier Apartian writes: "While the Assyrians named" Bitkhumery "the bulk of the Israelite tribes, the Greeks knew them as the" Cymry "or" Kimmeroi ", from which the term" Cimbri "and" Cimmerians ". The Cimbri and the Cimmerians came from the Dead Sea. "
They then found north of the Euxine. Around the seventh century, they were hunted by tribes from the north of Asia, and were called "Scythians", which explains why it is confused with the latter, but some historians call those Scythians invaded "Sacae" (6), which in reality were only the Cimmerians of Jewish origin among them.
These tribes were the Khazars, of Mongolian origin (7), to the fifth century invaded both banks of the Volga to the Don, west of the Caspian Sea at one time called "Khazar Sea" and northeast of the Euxine or Black Sea, around the Palus Maeotis, which is none other than the current Sea of Azov. Their heads in VIII century converted to Judaism and was circumcised.
Saxons:
Who invaded Germany, Scandinavia and the British Isles is then called by the general name of Saxons, or Isaac sounds, son of Isaac. Augustin Thierry gives an interesting indication: "Two historical evidence dating back to the time of Alexander the Great demonstrated the existence of a people called Kimmeri KIMRI or on the edges of the Septentrional Ocean in the peninsula brought later JUTLAND name "and most serious historians argue that the Cimbri had previously inhabited the valley of the Danube.
But history shows that a daughter of Priam, King of Troyes, where Memnon married at 22 Odin generation who married Frea, granddaughter of Lucius Athildis brother's wife Marcomir IV. Odin is the origin of various Saxon houses (see Koch. Volume 11, table 2 - He came from Scythia, about 120 years before Christ). Odin Norse mythology which was a god.
Régine Pernoud, in his History of the Gauls, writes: "At the time of thene (around 500 BC), the Celts have not yet history itself, they do not form an empire, but a kind of aggregate of people who seem to have been quite moving "(The Gauls, pages 31-32), and Thierry assimilates the Cimbri"
This is the last of these milestones that links Kimmeroi the Euxine to the Cimbri of Jutland, the Belgians of Gaul, the Britons of Albion, and leads us to recognize that in this great nation lay the core of the second Gallic race, and his name so ancient, so renowned, so extensive, that was the name of this race "(History of the Gauls, Introduction, page 70).
Gauls, Celts
Several tribes of Israel were established in the country GALAAD and the time of Christ this region was also called GAULONITIS. It should bring the name of region and Galatians Galli or Gauls eventually be given to the inhabitants of Gaul after its inhabitants were installed. On the other hand, Funck Brentano wrote:
"This name CELTIC they (the Celts) HE WAS GIVEN TO THEM THE SAME. Was also named the Galatians. Romans called them Galli" ("Origins"). Designations and Celts, Galatians, Gauls Galli and apply to the same people whose origin was Israel.
And it should be noted that these names are etymologically the origin of Vlachs, Walah, Wales, Welsh, Wales and also Gael. But the Hebrew word Golah, which is pronounced "GAULAU" meant EXILE and it appeared in the Bible in the second book of Kings, chapter XV, verse 19, that when the inhabitants of Gilead and Galilee were taken captive Assyria.
Rightly, Count Place in its Heraldic Problems (page 11) writes: "The tribes have followed, pushed each other until Providence has willed that the tribes of Israel with their répandissent leaders across Europe and the descendants of the House of Judah who should come into Gaul in the eternal decrees should be the new chosen people, Israel rejected the Ark of the Covenant. "
Add that the Abbé Boudet, parish priest of Rennes-les-Bains, in the Aude, a study published in 1886: The real Celtic language and Cromleck Rennes-les-Bains, in which he writes: "The Gaul been the focus of the final establishment of the Celtic family in the western countries of Europe "(page 1), and he adds:
"The Gals, descendants of Gomer, son of Japheth, went to Asia Minor at a time that we can not specify spread in Gaul, by repressing the Iberians to the south, east Ligurians. .. "
The Kimris formed the second part of the Gallic family. The Greeks and Romans named Kimmerioi called the Cimbri. In the year 631 BC, Scythian peoples, the report of Herodotus, fell on the edge of Palus Méotide and drove before them Kimris who walked into the sunset under the leadership of Huar Bras, ascended the course Danube and invaded Gaul the Rhine.
Next traditions kimriques Hu-ar-arm is not established point in Gaul, but he crossed the ocean and conquered misty Gals on the island of Albion "(pages 2 and 3). And it is a study outstanding on the relationship between the Hebrew language and the Celtic language. Moreover, Sir William Jones, founder of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, had found that reconciliations were needed between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin and thought that the Celtic and Gothic had the same origin as the Sanskrit and in his book Eastern Origin of Celtic Nations, the philologist proves conclusively that the Prichard Celtic language is the LINK THROUGH between Hebrew and languages INDO-EUROPEAN.
Another author, Didier Apartian in The Country French language according to the prophecy compares well these words of different languages and shows their common etymology.
Finally Father Hilaire Barenton, a scholar monk who was also a holy monk, published a series of books all the more impressive as each other and are essential: The Bible and the origins of humanity, The Origin of languages, religions and peoples "(1932). Origin grammars, The Mystery of the Pyramids and Egyptian chronology, not to mention Abraham in Egypt and Canaan and Joseph in Egypt and the Hyksos dynasty.
Iberians:
Indeed, quite originally the ancient inhabitants of our country were the Iberians were descended from Japheth but left few traces and crossed the Pyrenees. Javan, son of Japheth, son were several: Rodanim, ancestor of the inhabitants of Rhodes and the people who settled at the mouth of the Rhone, Elijah, ancestor of the Greeks and Latins; Tarsisa finally settled first in Asia Minor, where he founded the port of Tarshish before his descendants have settled in Liguria, Italy.
Gauls:
They constituted the bulk of the population before the Franks and were Celtic race. I refer to these issues works Jubainville The first inhabitants of Europe, Dottin, The Former peoples of Europe, Brentano Origins, and the Gauls Augustin Thierry's History of the Gauls, without omitting ancient authors: Diodorus Siculus and Strabo.
In Baptism and the coronation of Clovis, (...) Our Lord stood to hear his voice: "Do not be afraid, it is I, persevere in my fondness." And the Holy Spirit would appear in the form of the dove bringing in Saint Rémi balm of the Holy Ampulla, so that the kings of France are sacred with heavenly oil to mark its seven very special gifts and give them healing miraculous scrofula from their coronation (...).
And Saint Remi, inspired once again, insisted in his will confirm the promises in the name of God, he made Clovis and his successors, the kings of France until the end of time.
THE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE THE DESCENT
That said, let's talk documents that establish the historical facts. To investigate this issue which is the subject this conference, it should be made, depending on the period that we study, the following works:
FRANCE:
The general tradition of the Old Regime was the Kings of France descended from a son of Priam, whose posterity, after the destruction of Troy, had taken refuge first in Pannonia and in Flanders, near Tournay. Many ancient historians who speak of this origin. Recall that after Scipio Dupleix historiographer of France, Pepin assured down Hector said Degembard, which came from the ancient kings Trojans.
The preface to the "Compendium of Historians of Gaul and France" by Dom Bouquet (edition of Leopold Delisle, 1869) states on page XXI:
"The Historian Joseph says that the Gauls are Gomar, eldest son of Japheth. Gomar, he said, was the founding father of Gomarites, whom the Greeks called Galatians or Gauls. Eustache Antioch, St. Jerome, Isidore, chronic Pascale Joseph, son of Gorion, give the same origin to the Gauls. Joseph has not forged this opinion his head, he is more likely that he has taken from some ancient monuments. So do not reject slightly ... "(I, page 22)
Gregory of Tours wrote: "Some say that the Franks came from Pannonia, and first they inhabited the shores of the Rhine."
The preface of Volume II of the Code of Historians of Gaul and France, page XXIV wrote about it:
"The author of the Acts of the King of France, Paul Deacon in his book of the Bishops of Metz, Roricon Monk, Monk Aimoin Fleury, Sigebert of Gemblours, and all those who followed, watched this as a true original."
Fredegar, who lived in the first Dagobert, as the origin gives them the city of Troy, and Pannonia and the Danube.
Reports of Historians of Gaul and France cites "Gesta Francorum Regum" (He, pages 542-544), "Ex veteri Chronico Moissiacensis seu Musciacensis Cœnobii" (II, Page 648), the "Chronica Regum Francorum breviter digesta" by an unknown author (11, page 663), which the kings of France up to the kings Trojans.
Docume nts and also following that, not to mention the Trojan origin of the trace to Frankish chiefs mentioned in the documents that speak of their ancestry Trojan "Historica quaedam exerpta ex veteri stemmate genealogical Regum Franciæ" (It, page 665) The Chronicle of Adon, Archbishop of Vienna (11, page 666), the "Annales Francorum Fuldenses" (II, page 673), as well as a series of genealogies of the kings of France which relate to the same origin (It , page 695 et seq.)
The "Chronicle of Tongeren" lists the princes of the Franks in Pannonia during the 528 years they remained there.
Bartholomew of Mesme, in his chronicle written in the fourteenth century and is located in the Library of Bern, Switzerland.
César Nostradamus's son, Michael, in his "Chronicles of Provence" traces the origin of the Kings of France to the highest antiquity.
Jacques Charron, in 1630, published a "History of the Kings of France genealogy from Adam to Louis XIII."
François-Eudes Mezeray, the brother of St. John Eudes, without stating its origin, however, wrote in his "History of France"
"There are also people who, up until the war of Troy, the bring down a colony of Trojans, led after the destruction of the city by Scamander, said Francus son of Hector, on the edges of these same Palus (Maeotis) opinion is not entirely helpless ... "
The Abbot Honoré Mouth, Doctor of Theology, in his "Chronicle of Provence" published in 1664, shows the Trojan ancestry.
Include also consult about the Trojan War, the work of Baron de Behr: "Research on the History of heroic Times of Greece", published in 1856 in Paris.
Simon Pelloutier, in 1741, published in Paris: "History of the Celts and especially Gauls and Germans."
Bloodhounds gentleman, in the "Annals of the French Monarchy," published in 1724, gives many genealogical tables of royal ancestry and in particular, on page 200, cites forty-one degrees of Kings and Princes of the Franks over Clovis and also shows the unity of the three branches of the royal race. The first degree in the year 3509 the world "Marcomir son of Antenor, King of the Cimbri near the Black Sea, down the Trojans."
Chasot of Nantigny, especially in the volume of "Historical Genealogies of the Kings, Emperors, etc.., And all the houses that have survived Sovereign far," published in 1736 gives page 110, genealogies of kings Trojans 2489 2524 in the world and those of the kings of various parts of the Middle East and East before Our Lord and the three following volumes will until the eighteenth century. In volume 111, pages 2 and 6, it lowers the Kings of Priam, Duke of the Franks.
Koch, in "Genealogical Tables Sovereign Houses of Europe", published in two volumes in 1782 and 1818, in Volume II, gives the origins of houses descendant of Odin, whose ancestors came from the region of the Sea Noire.
Jacques Saillot must be consulted in the "Chronology Universal Sovereigns and Heads of State" and its "Clovis, King of the Franks and his paternal and maternal ancestors." However, we do not think that the kings of France are of the race of Odin, as he believes. They only go down, but by women.
Add the following books and authors affirm the unity of the three branches of the royal race.
The Cartulary of Hugh Capet, manuscript N 'Fund 7329 French National Library establishes the unity of the three branches of royal France.
Father Dominic of Jesus, Father Modeste completed by Saint-Amable, in his "Holy Monarchy, History, Chronological and Genealogical," published in 1677, gives very important genealogical tables.
"The Art of check dates", Benedictine, Dom cites Merle, the historian of Burgundy, and conclusively establishes the common ancestry of the Carolingians and Capetians.
Drudes Campagnolles published two booklets, in 1817: "A glance on the original unit of the three branches Merovingian, Carolingian and Capetian."
Piganiol Force in its "New description of France," the first volume, writes: "The Kingdom of France started the year 420 of the vulgar era and since that time has been succeeding in the male and sixty-five kings ruled by all from the same house ... "
Then there is the "Grand Dictionnaire Historique" of Moréri, without forgetting that the Bollandists in the Lives of the Saints give many indications that complement fortunately very large genealogical work.
Colonel Longin-Splinder gave an interesting paper on "The Bible, the value of historical, geographical and documentary," Paris 1952.
Bouillet, in his "Universal Dictionary of History and Geography", mentions the descent (page 1184, Hachette, 1914. The first edition was in 1860).
Finally, in a completely different field, recall the work of the Abbé Boudet, quoted earlier, "The true Celtic language," which showed that reconciliation was needed between the languages of the peoples Japhetic the south of France and also to those between the Hebrew language and the Celtic language, including etymologies ... Surprising since Gomer, son of Japheth, is the strain of the great Celtic family. Etc..
IN SWITZERLAND:
Library of Bern has a manuscript entitled "Genealogy of the Kings of France from Antenor, son of Priam (the Trojan) to Charles VI." And also the Chronicle of Mesme Bartholomew, the fourteenth century, which we have already spoken.
GERMANY:
The historian Trithemius, Spanheim in the sixteenth century, is mentioned.
A study would be to Austria and Italy about the origins of Houses of Habsburg and Savoy. Specify, without taking sides, that according Stabius, Taque Manlius, Synthemius, Trithemius, Lazius, Piespodius Chiflet and the House of Habsburg saliquement descended from the first Clotaire, King of France and of Chasot Nantigny mentioned with other systems in Volume IV of his book, page 229.
ENGLAND:
Most major genealogical publications, more or less on the official English Royal House set his Davidic descent. Include very old treasured manuscripts: "The Chronicles of Ireland," the "Langfeldgatal."
The Herald College London has a "Genealogy of the Kings Saxons" which indicates that Odin was the race of David, etc.. It would be easy to mention many documents, but it would be tedious. I only mention the following authors:
James Anderson and his "Royal Genealogies of Adam to the times" in 1712. Important work on the issue and states that all Sovereign Houses of Europe are descended from David.
Roger O'Connor, in 1822, recounts the migration of a tribe of Israel in Ireland and brought a manuscript of Phoenician dialect and language scithe shows that the three names given to Ireland are Hebrew.
Bernard Burke, in 1851, published "The Royal Families of England, Scotland, Walls with thein Descendants."

We know that Sarah Damaris, daughter of Jesus married Anthenor IV, King Sicambre (pre-Merovingian) and this couple is meets the double seed of Judah, son of Jacob, the patriarch. Judah had twin children: Pharez and Zerah.
One knows the fate of Pharez, ancestor of King David, but less is known about the route of Zara, the ancestor of the Merovingians.
The Marquis of Franquerie Andre Le Sage Franquerie La La Tourre ( one thousand nine hundred and one - one thousand nine hundred ninety-two ), writer and Catholic monarchist French, detailing the route descended from Zara and some of the ten tribes that formed the roots of the monarchies of Europe.
I do not agree with the political positions of the anti-Masonic Marquis, but I respect his considerable erudition enabled him to establish the Davidic ancestry of the kings of France. This book is for sale and available on the website http :/ / thomiste.pagesperso-orange.fr/ascdav.htm .
I quote here the passages inherent in the Davidic descent of the kings of France and details gleaned from the Marquis on some of the Ten Tribes of Israel who made the Great European families.
__________________
Double posterity of Judah
Judah, the twenty fourth degree from Adam, brother of Levi, the ancestor of the High Priests, and Joseph became the prime minister of Pharaoh of Egypt, Judah, saying I had two son of Syrian Tamar and the Bible states:
"As she was about to give birth, it seemed that there were twins in her womb. And when these children were ready to leave, one of them put his hand on which the midwife tied a ribbon scarlet , saying: "It will be released first." But this child withdrew his hand, the other left. then the midwife said: "Why is it wall divided because of you? . "That is why it was named Pharez. His brother, who had scarlet ribbon by hand and then went he was named Zara." (Genesis, chap. XXXVIII, verses 27-30, cf. Matthew, I, 3).
If the Bible gives these details, it is certainly to get our attention, because it does not say anything without a reason, and an American author, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote aptly:
"Why the Bible she would tell this strange story, unless the breach has been REPAIRED later between the two brothers? Still, it was the point of their lifetime. Was it The between their descendants?
"David, Zedekiah and Jesus were the Pharez branch and not that of Zara. Consider now the following:
"I ° - the breach is repaired the SCEPTRE must pass the line of Pharez than Zara.
"2 ° - Such transfer never took place before the reign of Zedekiah, who belonged to this line of Pharez.
"3 - It follows that the transfer had to take place AFTER the death of King Zedekiah.
"4 - To the lineage of David (Pharez) remained FOREVER to the throne, it was necessary that a REVERSAL roles, a marriage took place between HEIRS of the Pharez line and those of the lineage of Zara.
"According to the story, the descendants of Zara became nomads and headed northeast, in the territory of the Scythians, to join the ten tribes.
"But while the line Pharez-David-Zedekiah (the Bible calls HIGH and HIGH) still had the SCEPTRE, the line of Zara (called LOW DOWN and) always aspired to the honor of owning one day (1)."
Or was the author of Pharez branch of Judah Royal and Zara Kings Trojans authors themselves Sicambri, one of whose leaders, Marcomir IV, and Salic direct ancestor of the three branches of the Kings of France, was married Athildis who descended in the sixth generation of Anna, cousin of the Blessed Virgin Mary and daughter of Saint Joseph of Arimathea whose common ancestor was King David, Solomon and Nathan also.
The SCEPTRE thus passed saliquement branch of Pharez than Zara and also provided the seed of David in the branch of Zara by several marriages, including Anna and Athildis above mentioned and previously by Tea Tephi the daughter of the last king of Judah by the kings of Ireland and Scotland, the ancestors of most European Sovereign Houses, as we shall see.
The ten tribes of Israel deported away from their country, did not return to Palestine but lost their national identity. The Jewish historian says: "The ten tribes of Israel, forming an immense multitude are so far beyond the river Euphrates" (Josephus - Jewish Antiquities, Volume II, Chapter 5).
They dispersed in the world among the Gentiles, especially to the West.
The Israeli population, transplanted by the collapse of the Assyrian empire, to 609 BC, settled along the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea. During this collapse, the other tribes hitherto remained under the yoke were rejected further west towards Western Europe and became nomads.
Didier Apartian writes: "While the Assyrians named" Bitkhumery "the bulk of the Israelite tribes, the Greeks knew them as the" Cymry "or" Kimmeroi ", from which the term" Cimbri "and" Cimmerians ". The Cimbri and the Cimmerians came from the Dead Sea. "
They then found north of the Euxine. Around the seventh century, they were hunted by tribes from the north of Asia, and were called "Scythians", which explains why it is confused with the latter, but some historians call those Scythians invaded "Sacae" (6), which in reality were only the Cimmerians of Jewish origin among them.
These tribes were the Khazars, of Mongolian origin (7), to the fifth century invaded both banks of the Volga to the Don, west of the Caspian Sea at one time called "Khazar Sea" and northeast of the Euxine or Black Sea, around the Palus Maeotis, which is none other than the current Sea of Azov. Their heads in VIII century converted to Judaism and was circumcised.
Saxons:
Who invaded Germany, Scandinavia and the British Isles is then called by the general name of Saxons, or Isaac sounds, son of Isaac. Augustin Thierry gives an interesting indication: "Two historical evidence dating back to the time of Alexander the Great demonstrated the existence of a people called Kimmeri KIMRI or on the edges of the Septentrional Ocean in the peninsula brought later JUTLAND name "and most serious historians argue that the Cimbri had previously inhabited the valley of the Danube.
But history shows that a daughter of Priam, King of Troyes, where Memnon married at 22 Odin generation who married Frea, granddaughter of Lucius Athildis brother's wife Marcomir IV. Odin is the origin of various Saxon houses (see Koch. Volume 11, table 2 - He came from Scythia, about 120 years before Christ). Odin Norse mythology which was a god.
Régine Pernoud, in his History of the Gauls, writes: "At the time of thene (around 500 BC), the Celts have not yet history itself, they do not form an empire, but a kind of aggregate of people who seem to have been quite moving "(The Gauls, pages 31-32), and Thierry assimilates the Cimbri"
This is the last of these milestones that links Kimmeroi the Euxine to the Cimbri of Jutland, the Belgians of Gaul, the Britons of Albion, and leads us to recognize that in this great nation lay the core of the second Gallic race, and his name so ancient, so renowned, so extensive, that was the name of this race "(History of the Gauls, Introduction, page 70).
Gauls, Celts
Several tribes of Israel were established in the country GALAAD and the time of Christ this region was also called GAULONITIS. It should bring the name of region and Galatians Galli or Gauls eventually be given to the inhabitants of Gaul after its inhabitants were installed. On the other hand, Funck Brentano wrote:
"This name CELTIC they (the Celts) HE WAS GIVEN TO THEM THE SAME. Was also named the Galatians. Romans called them Galli" ("Origins"). Designations and Celts, Galatians, Gauls Galli and apply to the same people whose origin was Israel.
And it should be noted that these names are etymologically the origin of Vlachs, Walah, Wales, Welsh, Wales and also Gael. But the Hebrew word Golah, which is pronounced "GAULAU" meant EXILE and it appeared in the Bible in the second book of Kings, chapter XV, verse 19, that when the inhabitants of Gilead and Galilee were taken captive Assyria.
Rightly, Count Place in its Heraldic Problems (page 11) writes: "The tribes have followed, pushed each other until Providence has willed that the tribes of Israel with their répandissent leaders across Europe and the descendants of the House of Judah who should come into Gaul in the eternal decrees should be the new chosen people, Israel rejected the Ark of the Covenant. "
Add that the Abbé Boudet, parish priest of Rennes-les-Bains, in the Aude, a study published in 1886: The real Celtic language and Cromleck Rennes-les-Bains, in which he writes: "The Gaul been the focus of the final establishment of the Celtic family in the western countries of Europe "(page 1), and he adds:
"The Gals, descendants of Gomer, son of Japheth, went to Asia Minor at a time that we can not specify spread in Gaul, by repressing the Iberians to the south, east Ligurians. .. "
The Kimris formed the second part of the Gallic family. The Greeks and Romans named Kimmerioi called the Cimbri. In the year 631 BC, Scythian peoples, the report of Herodotus, fell on the edge of Palus Méotide and drove before them Kimris who walked into the sunset under the leadership of Huar Bras, ascended the course Danube and invaded Gaul the Rhine.
Next traditions kimriques Hu-ar-arm is not established point in Gaul, but he crossed the ocean and conquered misty Gals on the island of Albion "(pages 2 and 3). And it is a study outstanding on the relationship between the Hebrew language and the Celtic language. Moreover, Sir William Jones, founder of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta, had found that reconciliations were needed between Sanskrit, Greek and Latin and thought that the Celtic and Gothic had the same origin as the Sanskrit and in his book Eastern Origin of Celtic Nations, the philologist proves conclusively that the Prichard Celtic language is the LINK THROUGH between Hebrew and languages INDO-EUROPEAN.
Another author, Didier Apartian in The Country French language according to the prophecy compares well these words of different languages and shows their common etymology.
Finally Father Hilaire Barenton, a scholar monk who was also a holy monk, published a series of books all the more impressive as each other and are essential: The Bible and the origins of humanity, The Origin of languages, religions and peoples "(1932). Origin grammars, The Mystery of the Pyramids and Egyptian chronology, not to mention Abraham in Egypt and Canaan and Joseph in Egypt and the Hyksos dynasty.
Iberians:
Indeed, quite originally the ancient inhabitants of our country were the Iberians were descended from Japheth but left few traces and crossed the Pyrenees. Javan, son of Japheth, son were several: Rodanim, ancestor of the inhabitants of Rhodes and the people who settled at the mouth of the Rhone, Elijah, ancestor of the Greeks and Latins; Tarsisa finally settled first in Asia Minor, where he founded the port of Tarshish before his descendants have settled in Liguria, Italy.
Gauls:
They constituted the bulk of the population before the Franks and were Celtic race. I refer to these issues works Jubainville The first inhabitants of Europe, Dottin, The Former peoples of Europe, Brentano Origins, and the Gauls Augustin Thierry's History of the Gauls, without omitting ancient authors: Diodorus Siculus and Strabo.
In Baptism and the coronation of Clovis, (...) Our Lord stood to hear his voice: "Do not be afraid, it is I, persevere in my fondness." And the Holy Spirit would appear in the form of the dove bringing in Saint Rémi balm of the Holy Ampulla, so that the kings of France are sacred with heavenly oil to mark its seven very special gifts and give them healing miraculous scrofula from their coronation (...).
And Saint Remi, inspired once again, insisted in his will confirm the promises in the name of God, he made Clovis and his successors, the kings of France until the end of time.
THE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE THE DESCENT
That said, let's talk documents that establish the historical facts. To investigate this issue which is the subject this conference, it should be made, depending on the period that we study, the following works:
FRANCE:
The general tradition of the Old Regime was the Kings of France descended from a son of Priam, whose posterity, after the destruction of Troy, had taken refuge first in Pannonia and in Flanders, near Tournay. Many ancient historians who speak of this origin. Recall that after Scipio Dupleix historiographer of France, Pepin assured down Hector said Degembard, which came from the ancient kings Trojans.
The preface to the "Compendium of Historians of Gaul and France" by Dom Bouquet (edition of Leopold Delisle, 1869) states on page XXI:
"The Historian Joseph says that the Gauls are Gomar, eldest son of Japheth. Gomar, he said, was the founding father of Gomarites, whom the Greeks called Galatians or Gauls. Eustache Antioch, St. Jerome, Isidore, chronic Pascale Joseph, son of Gorion, give the same origin to the Gauls. Joseph has not forged this opinion his head, he is more likely that he has taken from some ancient monuments. So do not reject slightly ... "(I, page 22)
Gregory of Tours wrote: "Some say that the Franks came from Pannonia, and first they inhabited the shores of the Rhine."
The preface of Volume II of the Code of Historians of Gaul and France, page XXIV wrote about it:
"The author of the Acts of the King of France, Paul Deacon in his book of the Bishops of Metz, Roricon Monk, Monk Aimoin Fleury, Sigebert of Gemblours, and all those who followed, watched this as a true original."
Fredegar, who lived in the first Dagobert, as the origin gives them the city of Troy, and Pannonia and the Danube.
Reports of Historians of Gaul and France cites "Gesta Francorum Regum" (He, pages 542-544), "Ex veteri Chronico Moissiacensis seu Musciacensis Cœnobii" (II, Page 648), the "Chronica Regum Francorum breviter digesta" by an unknown author (11, page 663), which the kings of France up to the kings Trojans.
Docume nts and also following that, not to mention the Trojan origin of the trace to Frankish chiefs mentioned in the documents that speak of their ancestry Trojan "Historica quaedam exerpta ex veteri stemmate genealogical Regum Franciæ" (It, page 665) The Chronicle of Adon, Archbishop of Vienna (11, page 666), the "Annales Francorum Fuldenses" (II, page 673), as well as a series of genealogies of the kings of France which relate to the same origin (It , page 695 et seq.)

Bartholomew of Mesme, in his chronicle written in the fourteenth century and is located in the Library of Bern, Switzerland.
César Nostradamus's son, Michael, in his "Chronicles of Provence" traces the origin of the Kings of France to the highest antiquity.
Jacques Charron, in 1630, published a "History of the Kings of France genealogy from Adam to Louis XIII."
François-Eudes Mezeray, the brother of St. John Eudes, without stating its origin, however, wrote in his "History of France"
"There are also people who, up until the war of Troy, the bring down a colony of Trojans, led after the destruction of the city by Scamander, said Francus son of Hector, on the edges of these same Palus (Maeotis) opinion is not entirely helpless ... "
The Abbot Honoré Mouth, Doctor of Theology, in his "Chronicle of Provence" published in 1664, shows the Trojan ancestry.
Include also consult about the Trojan War, the work of Baron de Behr: "Research on the History of heroic Times of Greece", published in 1856 in Paris.
Simon Pelloutier, in 1741, published in Paris: "History of the Celts and especially Gauls and Germans."
Bloodhounds gentleman, in the "Annals of the French Monarchy," published in 1724, gives many genealogical tables of royal ancestry and in particular, on page 200, cites forty-one degrees of Kings and Princes of the Franks over Clovis and also shows the unity of the three branches of the royal race. The first degree in the year 3509 the world "Marcomir son of Antenor, King of the Cimbri near the Black Sea, down the Trojans."
Chasot of Nantigny, especially in the volume of "Historical Genealogies of the Kings, Emperors, etc.., And all the houses that have survived Sovereign far," published in 1736 gives page 110, genealogies of kings Trojans 2489 2524 in the world and those of the kings of various parts of the Middle East and East before Our Lord and the three following volumes will until the eighteenth century. In volume 111, pages 2 and 6, it lowers the Kings of Priam, Duke of the Franks.
Koch, in "Genealogical Tables Sovereign Houses of Europe", published in two volumes in 1782 and 1818, in Volume II, gives the origins of houses descendant of Odin, whose ancestors came from the region of the Sea Noire.
Jacques Saillot must be consulted in the "Chronology Universal Sovereigns and Heads of State" and its "Clovis, King of the Franks and his paternal and maternal ancestors." However, we do not think that the kings of France are of the race of Odin, as he believes. They only go down, but by women.
Add the following books and authors affirm the unity of the three branches of the royal race.
The Cartulary of Hugh Capet, manuscript N 'Fund 7329 French National Library establishes the unity of the three branches of royal France.
Father Dominic of Jesus, Father Modeste completed by Saint-Amable, in his "Holy Monarchy, History, Chronological and Genealogical," published in 1677, gives very important genealogical tables.

Then there is the "Grand Dictionnaire Historique" of Moréri, without forgetting that the Bollandists in the Lives of the Saints give many indications that complement fortunately very large genealogical work.
Colonel Longin-Splinder gave an interesting paper on "The Bible, the value of historical, geographical and documentary," Paris 1952.
Bouillet, in his "Universal Dictionary of History and Geography", mentions the descent (page 1184, Hachette, 1914. The first edition was in 1860).
Finally, in a completely different field, recall the work of the Abbé Boudet, quoted earlier, "The true Celtic language," which showed that reconciliation was needed between the languages of the peoples Japhetic the south of France and also to those between the Hebrew language and the Celtic language, including etymologies ... Surprising since Gomer, son of Japheth, is the strain of the great Celtic family. Etc..
IN SWITZERLAND:
Library of Bern has a manuscript entitled "Genealogy of the Kings of France from Antenor, son of Priam (the Trojan) to Charles VI." And also the Chronicle of Mesme Bartholomew, the fourteenth century, which we have already spoken.
GERMANY:
The historian Trithemius, Spanheim in the sixteenth century, is mentioned.
A study would be to Austria and Italy about the origins of Houses of Habsburg and Savoy. Specify, without taking sides, that according Stabius, Taque Manlius, Synthemius, Trithemius, Lazius, Piespodius Chiflet and the House of Habsburg saliquement descended from the first Clotaire, King of France and of Chasot Nantigny mentioned with other systems in Volume IV of his book, page 229.

Roger O'Connor, in 1822, recounts the migration of a tribe of Israel in Ireland and brought a manuscript of Phoenician dialect and language scithe shows that the three names given to Ireland are Hebrew.

Descent of the Kings of France (continued) and large Families of France
Another author, Didier Apartian in The Country French language according to the prophecy compares well these words of different languages and shows their common etymology. Finally Father Hilaire Barenton, a scholar monk who was also a holy monk, published a series of books all the more impressive as each other and are essential: The Bible and the origins of humanity, The Origin of languages, religions and peoples "(1932).
The Origin of grammars, The Mystery of the Pyramids and Egyptian chronology, not to mention Abraham in Egypt and Canaan and Joseph in Egypt and the Hyksos dynasty.

Gauls:
They constituted the bulk of the population before the Franks and were Celtic race. I refer to these issues works Jubainville The first inhabitants of Europe, Dottin, The Former peoples of Europe, Brentano Origins, and the Gauls Augustin Thierry's History of the Gauls, without omitting ancient authors: Diodorus Siculus and Strabo.
In Baptism and the coronation of Clovis, (...) Our Lord stood to hear his voice: "Do not be afraid, it is I, persevere in my fondness". And the Holy Spirit would appear in the form of the dove bringing in Saint Rémi balm of the Holy Ampulla, so that the kings of France are sacred with heavenly oil to mark its seven very special gifts and give them healing miraculous scrofula from their coronation (...). And Saint Remi, inspired once again, insisted in his will confirm the promises in the name of God, he made Clovis and his successors, the kings of France until the end of time.
THE DOCUMENTS THAT PROVE THE DESCENT That said, now talking about documents that establish the historical facts. To investigate this issue which is the subject this conference, it should be made, depending on the period that we study, the following works:
FRANCE: The general tradition of the Old Regime was the Kings of France descended from a son of Priam, whose posterity, after the destruction of Troy, had taken refuge first in Pannonia and in Flanders, near Tournay. Many ancient historians who speak of this origin. Recall that after Scipio Dupleix historiographer of France, Pepin assured down Hector said Degembard, which came from the ancient kings Trojans. The preface to the "Compendium of Historians of Gaul and France" by Dom Bouquet (edition of Leopold Delisle, 1869) states on page XXI: "The Historian Joseph says that the Gauls are Gomar, eldest son of Japheth. Gomar, he said, was the founding father of Gomarites, whom the Greeks called Galatians or Gauls. Eustace of Antioch, St. Jerome, Isidore, the Chronicle Pascale Joseph, son of Gorion, give the same origin to the Gauls.
Joseph has not forged this opinion his head, he is more likely that he has taken from some ancient monuments. So do not dismiss lightly ... "(I, page 22) Gregory of Tours wrote:" Some say that the Franks came from Pannonia, and first they inhabited the shores of the Rhine. "The preface to Volume II of the Code of Historians of Gaul and France, page XXIV wrote about it:" The author of the Acts of the King of France, Paul Deacon in his book of the Bishops of Metz, Monk Roricon, Aimoin Monk Fleury, Sigebert of Gemblours, and all those who followed, watched this as a true original. "Fredegar, who lived under Dagobert I., as the origin gives them the city of Troy, and Pannonia and the Danube.
Reports of Historians of Gaul and France cites' Gesta Francorum Regum "(He, pages 542-544)," Ex veteri Chronico Moissiacensis seu Musciacensis Cœnobii "(II, Page 648), the" Chronica Regum Francorum breviter digesta " by an unknown author (11, page 663), which the kings of France up to the kings Trojans. And also the following documents, not to mention the Trojan origin to trace chefs francs mentioned in the documents that speak of their ancestry Trojan: "Historica quaedam exerpta ex veteri stemmate genealogical Regum Franciæ" (It, page 665), Chronicle of Adon, Archbishop of Vienna (11, page 666), the "Annales Francorum Fuldenses" (II, page 673), as well as a series of genealogies of the kings of France which relate to the same origin (He, page 695 et seq.)
The "Chronicle of Tongeren" lists the princes of the Franks in Pannonia during the 528 years they remained there. Bartholomew of Mesme, in his chronicle written in the fourteenth century and is located in the Library of Bern, Switzerland.
César Nostradamus's son, Michael, in his "Chronicles of Provence" traces the origin of the Kings of France to the highest antiquity. Jacques Charron, in 1630, published a "History of the Kings of France genealogy from Adam to Louis XIII". François-Eudes Mezeray, the brother of St. John Eudes, without stating its origin, however, wrote in his "History of France": "There are also people who, back to the Trojan war, bring down the d a colony of Trojans, led after the destruction of the city by Scamander, said Francus son of Hector, on the banks of the same Palus (Maeotis), a view that is not entirely helpless ... "The Father Honoré Mouth, Doctor of Theology, in his "Chronicle of Provence" published in 1664, shows the Trojan ancestry.
Include also consult about the Trojan War, the work of Baron de Behr: "Research on the History of heroic Times of Greece", published in 1856 in Paris. Simon Pelloutier, in 1741, published in Paris: "History of the Celts and especially Gauls and Germans". Bloodhounds gentleman in the "Annals of the French Monarchy", published in 1724, gives many genealogical tables of royal ancestry and in particular, on page 200, cites forty-one degrees of Kings and Princes of the Franks over Clovis and also shows the unity of the three branches of the royal race.
The first degree in the year 3509 the world "Marcomir son of Antenor, King of the Cimbri near the Black Sea, down the Trojans'. Chasot of Nantigny, especially in the volume of "Historical Genealogies of the Kings, Emperors, etc.. and all the houses that have survived Sovereign far ", published in 1736 gives page 110, genealogies of kings Trojans 2489-2524 the world and those of the kings of various parts of the Middle East and East before Our Lord and the three following volumes will until the eighteenth century.
In volume 111, pages 2 and 6, it lowers the Kings of Priam, Duke of the Franks. Koch, in "Genealogical Tables Sovereign Houses of Europe", published in two volumes in 1782 and 1818, in Volume II, gives the origins of houses descendant of Odin, whose ancestors came from the region of the Sea Noire. Jacques Saillot must be consulted in the "Chronology Universal Sovereigns and Heads of State" and its "Clovis, King of the Franks and his paternal and maternal ancestors."
However, we do not think that the kings of France are of the race of Odin, as he believes. They only go down, but by women. Add the following books and authors affirm the unity of the three branches of the royal race. The Cartulary of Hugh Capet, manuscript N 'Fund 7329 French National Library establishes the unity of the three branches of royal France.
Father Dominic of Jesus, Father Modeste completed by Saint-Amable, in his "Holy Monarchy, History, Chronological and Genealogical", published in 1677, gives very important genealogical tables. "The Art of check dates", Benedictine, Dom cites Merle, the historian of Burgundy, and conclusively establishes the common ancestry of the Carolingians and Capetians. Drudes Campagnolles published two booklets, in 1817: "A glance on the original unit of the three branches Merovingian, Carolingian and Capetian".
Piganiol Force in its "New description of France", the first volume, writes: "The Kingdom of France started the year 420 of the vulgar era and since that time has been succeeding in the male and sixty-five kings ruled by all from the same house ... "Then there is the" Grand Dictionnaire Historique "of Moréri, without forgetting that the Bollandists in the Lives of the Saints give many indications that complement fortunately large genealogical work. Colonel Longin-Splinder gave an interesting study on "The Bible, the value of historical, geographical and documentary", Paris 1952.
Bouillet, in his "Universal Dictionary of History and Geography", mentions the descent (page 1184, Hachette, 1914. The first edition was in 1860). Finally, in a completely different field, recall the work of the Abbé Boudet, quoted earlier, "The true Celtic language," which showed that reconciliation was needed between the languages of the peoples Japhetic the south of France and also to those between the Hebrew language and the Celtic language, including etymologies ... not surprising since Gomer, son of Japheth, is the strain of the great Celtic family. Etc..
SWITZERLAND: Library of Bern has a manuscript entitled "Genealogy of the Kings of France from Antenor, son of Priam (the Trojan) to Charles VI". And also the Chronicle of Mesme Bartholomew, the fourteenth century, which we have already spoken. IN
GERMANY: Trithemius historian, Spanheim in the sixteenth century, is mentioned. A study would be to Austria and Italy about the origins of Houses of Habsburg and Savoy. Specify, without taking sides, that according Stabius, Taque Manlius, Synthemius, Trithemius, Lazius, Piespodius Chiflet and the House of Habsburg descend saliquement of Clotaire I., King of France and of Chasot Nantigny mentioned with other systems in Volume IV of his book, page 229.
ENGLAND: Most major genealogical publications, more or less on the official English Royal House set his Davidic descent. Include very old treasured manuscripts: "The Chronicles of Ireland", the "Langfeldgatal". The Herald College London has a "Genealogy of the Kings Saxons" which indicates that Odin was the race of David, etc.. It would be easy to mention many documents, but it would be tedious. I only mention the following authors: James Anderson and his "Royal Genealogies of Adam to the times" in 1712. Important work on the issue and states that all Sovereign Houses of Europe are descended from David. Roger O'Connor, in 1822, recounts the migration of a tribe of Israel in Ireland and brought a manuscript of Phoenician dialect and language scithe shows that the three names given to Ireland are Hebrew. Bernard Burke, in 1851, published "The Royal Families of England, Scotland, Walls with thein Descendants".
Pastor FRA Glover: "Israels Wanderings" (Migrations of Israel) and in 1860 and 1881 "England remnant of Judah and the Israel of Ephra: im". Dr. Wilhelm Thomsen, Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark: "The relationship Between Ancient Russia and Scandinavia. and the Russian State ". Pastor WM Milner publishes "The Royal House of Britain year enduring Dynasty" (The Royal House of Britain, a dynasty that lasts). This book, between 1902 and 1975, had fourteen editions, and contains a huge genealogical table under the title "The Illustrious Lineage of the Royal House of Britain" which is part of Judah and without interruption until Queen Elizabeth II.
This table sets out, as James Anderson, all European Sovereign Houses descended from David. Add that Pastor WR Morgan published "Saint Paul in Britain and the British origins of Christianity." Saint Paul, in his Letter to the Romans (ch. XV vv. 24 and 28) speaks of travels in Spain. This is the country that would have happened in the British Isles. The "National Post" cites thirty-four authors and titles of books on Jewish ancestry of Britain (pp. 2 and 61-63). Another Protestant pastor, Ithel, published the "Annals Cambrial" that give the genealogy of Owen and two other authors, Colonel Gawler and HH Pain's studied the seed of Dan. Finally, Sharon Turner, in his "History of the Anglo-Saxons" Odin sent down from Jupiter, which is none other than Judah. Jean and Don Pottinger Moncreiffe published "Blood Royal", which had several editions since 1956.

Write a comment View the 0 comments Davidic descent of the Kings of France We know that Sarah Damaris, daughter of Jesus married Anthenor IV, King Sicambre (pre-Merovingian) and this couple is meets the double seed of Judah, son of Jacob, the patriarch. Judah had twin children: Pharez and Zerah. One knows the fate of Pharez, ancestor of King David, but less is known about the route of Zara, the ancestor of the Merovingians.
The Marquis of Franquerie Andre Le Sage Franquerie La La Tourre (1901-1992), writer and Catholic monarchist French, detailing the route descended from Zara and some of the ten tribes that formed the roots of the monarchies of Europe.
I do not agree with the political positions of the anti-Masonic Marquis, but I respect his considerable erudition enabled him to establish the Davidic ancestry of the kings of France.
This book is for sale and available on the website http :/ / thomiste.pagesperso-orange.fr/ascdav.htm.
I quote here the passages inherent in the Davidic descent of the kings of France and details gleaned from the Marquis on some of the Ten Tribes of Israel who made the Great European families.

Double posterity of Judah
Judah, the twenty fourth degree from Adam, brother of Levi, the ancestor of the High Priests, and Joseph became the prime minister of Pharaoh of Egypt, Judah, saying I had two son of Syrian Tamar and the Bible states: "As she was about to give birth, it seemed that there were twins in her womb. And when these children were ready to leave, one of the two passed his hand when the midwife tied a ribbon scarlet, saying: "This will release the first". But this child withdrew his hand, the other left. Then the midwife said: "Why is it wall divided because of you? ". That is why it was named Pharez. His brother, who had the scarlet ribbon left hand and then he was named Zara. "(Genesis, chap. XXXVIII, verses 27-30, cf. Matthew, I, 3).
If the Bible gives these details, it is certainly to get our attention, because it does not say anything without a reason, and an American author, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote aptly: "Why the Bible she would tell this strange story, unless the breach has been REPAIRED later between the two brothers? Still, it was the point of their lifetime. The was it between their descendants? "David, Zedekiah and Jesus were the Pharez branch and not that of Zara.
Now consider the following:
"I ° - the breach is repaired the SCEPTRE must pass the line of Pharez than Zara.
"2 - Such transfer never took place before the reign of Zedekiah, who belonged to this line of Pharez.
"3 - It follows that the transfer had to take place AFTER the death of King Zedekiah.
"4 - To the lineage of David (Pharez) remained FOREVER to the throne, it was necessary that a REVERSAL roles, a marriage took place between HEIRS of the Pharez line and those of the lineage of Zara .
According to the story, the descendants of Zara became nomads and headed northeast, in the territory of the Scythians, to join the ten tribes.
"But while the line Pharez-David-Zedekiah (the Bible calls HIGH and HIGH) still had the SCEPTRE, the line of Zara (called LOW DOWN and) always aspired to the honor of owning one day (1).
» Or Pharez fut l'auteur de la branche royale de Juda et Zara des Rois Troyens, auteurs eux-mêmes des Sicambres, dont l'un des chefs, Marcomir IV, ancêtre direct et salique des trois branches des Rois de France, avait épousé Athildis qui descendait à la sixième génération d'Anna, cousine germaine de la Très Sainte Vierge et fille de Saint Joseph d'Arimathie dont l'ancêtre commun était le Roi David, par Salomon et aussi par Nathan.
Le SCEPTRE passa donc saliquement de la branche de Pharez à celle de Zara et aussi la descendance de David assurée dans la branche de Zara par plusieurs mariages, notamment par Anna et Athildis, ci-dessus mentionnées et, antérieurement, par Tea-Tephi, la propre fille du dernier roi de Juda par les Rois d'Irlande et d'Ecosse, ancêtres de la plupart des Maisons Souveraines européennes, ainsi que nous allons le constater. Les dix tribus d'Israël, déportées loin de leur pays, ne rentrèrent pas en Palestine mais perdirent leur identité nationale.
L'historien juif précise : » Les dix tribus d'Israël formant une immense multitude se trouvent jusqu'à ce jour au delà du fleuve de l'Euphrate » (Flavius Joseph -- Antiquités Judaïques, tome II, chapitre 5). Elles se dispersèrent dans le monde parmi les gentils, plus particulièrement vers l'Occident. Les populations israéliennes, transplantées par l'écroulement de l'empire Assyrien, vers 609 avant Jésus-Christ, s'installèrent le long de la Mer Caspienne et de la Mer Noire. Lors de cet écroulement, les autres tribus restées jusqu'alors sous le joug furent rejetées plus à l'ouest, vers l'Europe Occidentale et devinrent nomades.
Didier Apartian écrit : » Alors que les Assyriens nommaient » Bitkhumery » le gros des tribus israélites, les Grecs les connaissaient sous le nom de « Cymry » ou « Kimmeroi », d'où proviennent les termes « Cimbres » et « Cimmériens ». Les Cimbres et les Cimmériens venaient de la Mer Morte. » On les trouve ensuite au nord du Pont Euxin.
Aux environs du septième siècle, ils furent chassés par des tribus venant du nord de l'Asie et qui s'appelaient les » Scythes « , ce qui explique qu'on les ait confondus avec ces derniers, cependant certains historiens appellent ceux que les Scythes envahirent les » Sacae » (6), qui en réalité n'étaient que les Cimmériens d'origine israélite parmi eux.
Ces tribus étaient les Khazars, d'origine mongole (7), qui vers le Ve siècle envahirent les deux rives de la Volga jusqu'au Don, l'ouest de la Mer Caspienne appelée à un moment » Mer des Khazars » et le nord est du Pont Euxin ou Mer Noire, autour du Palus Mæotis, qui n'est autre que l'actuelle Mer d'Azov. Leurs Chefs au Vllle siècle se convertirent au Judaïsme et les firent circoncire.
Les Saxons :
Ceux qui envahirent la Germanie, la Scandinavie et les Iles Britanniques s'appelèrent alors du nom général de Saxons, ou Isaac-sons, les fils d'Isaac. Augustin Thierry donne une indication intéressante : » Deux témoignages historiques qui remontent au temps d'Alexandre le Grand attestent l'existence d'un peuple appelé Kimmeri ou KIMRI sur les bords de l'Océan Septentrional dans la presqu'île qui porta plus tard la dénomination de JUTLAND » et la plupart des historiens sérieux affirment que les Cimbres avaient habité antérieurement la vallée du Danube. Or l'histoire montre qu'une fille de Priam, Roi de Troyes, épousa Memnon d'où à la 22e génération Odin qui épousa Frea, petite fille de Lucius frère d'Athildis, l'épouse de Marcomir IV. Odin qui est à l'origine des différentes maisons saxonnes (voir Koch. tome 11, table 2 -- Il arrivait de Scythie, environ 120 ans avant Jésus-Christ). Odin dont la mythologie scandinave a fait un dieu.
Régine Pernoud, dans son Histoire des Gaulois, écrit : » A l'époque de la Thène (vers l'an 500 avant Jésus-Christ) les Celtes n'ont pas encore d'histoire proprement dite, ils ne forment pas un empire, mais une sorte d'agrégat de peuples qui semblent avoir été assez mouvants » (Les Gaulois, pages 31-32) ; et Thierry les assimile aux Cimbres : » C'est le dernier de ces jalons qui rattache les Kimmeroi du Pont-Euxin aux Cimbres du Jutland, aux Belges de la Gaule, aux Bretons d'Albion, et nous amène à reconnaître que dans ce grand peuple résidait le noyau de la seconde des races gauloises, et que son nom si ancien, si renommé, si étendu, n'était que le nom même de cette race » (Histoire des Gaulois, Introduction, page 70).
Les Gaulois, les Celtes :
Plusieurs tribus d'Israël étaient établies dans le pays de GALAAD et, au temps du Christ cette région s'appelait aussi GAULONITIS. Il convient de rapprocher ce nom de région de Galates et Galli ou Gaulois qui finit par être donné aux habitants de la Gaule une fois que ses habitants s'y furent installés. D'autre part, Funck Brentano écrit : » Ce nom CELTE, ils (les Celtes) SE L'ÉTAIENT DONNÉ A EUX MÊMES. On les nommait aussi Galates. Les Romains les appellent Galli » (« Les Origines »). Ainsi les appellations Celtes, Galates, Galli et Gaulois s'appliquent au même peuple dont l'origine était Israël.
Et il ya lieu de remarquer que ces appellations sont à l'origine étymologiquement de Valaques, Walah, Wales, Welsch, Galles et aussi Gaël. Or le mot hébreu GOLAH, qui se prononçait » GAULAU » signifiait EXIL et il n'apparut dans la Bible au deuxième livre des Rois, chapitre XV, verset 19, qu'au moment où les habitants de Galaad et de la Galilée furent emmenés captifs en Assyrie.
Très justement, le Comte de Place, dans ses Problèmes Héraldiques (page 11), écrit : » Les tribus se sont succédées, poussées les unes les autres jusqu'au moment où La Providence a voulu que les tribus d'Israël se répandissent avec leurs chefs à travers l'Europe et que les descendants de la Maison de Juda vinssent en Gaule qui, dans les décrets éternels devait être le nouveau peuple choisi, Israël ayant rejeté l'Arche d'Alliance. » Ajoutons que l'Abbé Boudet, Curé de Rennes-les-Bains, dans l'Aude, a publié en 1886 une étude : La vraie langue celtique et le Cromleck de Rennes-les-Bains, dans laquelle il écrit : » La Gaule a été le point central de l'établissement définitif de la famille celtique dans les contrées occidentales de l'Europe » (page 1), et il ajoute : » Les Gals, descendants de Gomer, fils de Japhet, partirent de l'Asie Mineure à une époque que l'on ne peut préciser, se répandirent dans la Gaule, en refoulant les Ibères vers le sud, les Ligures vers l'est… » Les Kimris formaient la seconde branche de la famille gauloise. Les Grecs les nommaient Kimmerioi et les Romains les appelaient Cimbri.
En l'an 631 avant Jésus-Christ, les peuples scythiques, au rapport d'Hérodote, fondirent sur les bords du Palus Méotide et poussèrent devant eux les Kimris qui se dirigèrent vers le soleil couchant sous la conduite de Huar Bras, remontèrent le cours du Danube et envahirent la Gaule par le Rhin. Suivant les traditions kimriques, Hu-ar-Bras ne s'établit point dans la Gaule, mais il traversa l'Océan brumeux et conquit sur les Gals l'île d'Albion » (pages 2 et 3). Et il fait une étude remarquable sur les rapports existant entre la langue hébraïque et la langue celtique. D'autre part, Sir William Jones, fondateur de la Société Asiatique de Calcutta, avait constaté les rapprochements qui s'imposaient entre le sanscrit, le grec et le latin et il pensait que le celtique et le gothique avaient la même origine que le sanscrit et dans son ouvrage Eastern Origin of Celtic Nations, le philologue Prichard prouve irréfutablement que la langue celtique est la LIAISON INTERMÉDIAIRE entre l'hébreu et les langues INDO-EUROPÉENNES.
Another author, Didier Apartian in The Country French language according to the prophecy compares well these words of different languages and shows their common etymology. Finally Father Hilaire Barenton, a scholar monk who was also a holy monk, published a series of books all the more impressive as each other and are essential: The Bible and the origins of humanity, The Origin of languages, religions and peoples "(1932).
The Origin of grammars, The Mystery of the Pyramids and Egyptian chronology, not to mention Abraham in Egypt and Canaan and Joseph in Egypt and the Hyksos dynasty.
Iberians:
Indeed, quite originally the ancient inhabitants of our country were the Iberians were descended from Japheth but left few traces and crossed the Pyrenees. Javan, son of Japheth, son were several: Rodanim, ancestor of the inhabitants of Rhodes and the people who settled at the mouth of the Rhone, Elijah, ancestor of the Greeks and Latins; Tarsisa finally settled first in Asia Minor, where he founded the port of Tarshish before his descendants have settled in Liguria, Italy.
Gauls:
They constituted the bulk of the population before the Franks and were Celtic race. I refer to these issues works Jubainville The first inhabitants of Europe, Dottin, The Former peoples of Europe, Brentano Origins, and the Gauls Augustin Thierry's History of the Gauls, without omitting ancient authors: Diodorus Siculus and Strabo.
In Baptism and the coronation of Clovis, (...) Our Lord stood to hear his voice: "Do not be afraid, it is I, persevere in my fondness". And the Holy Spirit would appear in the form of the dove bringing in Saint Rémi balm of the Holy Ampulla, so that the kings of France are sacred with heavenly oil to mark its seven very special gifts and give them healing miraculous scrofula from their coronation (...). And Saint Remi, inspired once again, insisted in his will confirm the promises in the name of God, he made Clovis and his successors, the kings of France until the end of time.

I only mention the following authors: James Anderson and his "Royal Genealogies of Adam to the times" in 1712. Important work on the issue and states that all Sovereign Houses of Europe are descended from David. Roger O'Connor, in 1822, recounts the migration of a tribe of Israel in Ireland and brought a manuscript of Phoenician dialect and language scithe shows that the three names given to Ireland are Hebrew. Bernard Burke, in 1851, published "The Royal Families of England, Scotland, Walls with thein Descendants".
Pastor FRA Glover: "Israels Wanderings" (Migrations of Israel) and in 1860 and 1881 "England remnant of Judah and the Israel of Ephra: im". Dr. Wilhelm Thomsen, Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark: "The relationship Between Ancient Russia and Scandinavia. and the Russian State ". Pastor WM Milner publishes "The Royal House of Britain year enduring Dynasty" (The Royal House of Britain, a dynasty that lasts). This book, between 1902 and 1975, had fourteen editions, and contains a huge genealogical table under the title "The Illustrious Lineage of the Royal House of Britain" which is part of Judah and without interruption until Queen Elizabeth II.
This table sets out, as James Anderson, all European Sovereign Houses descended from David. Add that Pastor WR Morgan published "Saint Paul in Britain and the British origins of Christianity." Saint Paul, in his Letter to the Romans (ch. XV vv. 24 and 28) speaks of travels in Spain. This is the country that would have happened in the British Isles. The "National Post" cites thirty-four authors and titles of books on Jewish ancestry of Britain (pp. 2 and 61-63). Another Protestant pastor, Ithel, published the "Annals Cambrial" that give the genealogy of Owen and two other authors, Colonel Gawler and HH Pain's studied the seed of Dan. Finally, Sharon Turner, in his "History of the Anglo-Saxons" Odin sent down from Jupiter, which is none other than Judah. Jean and Don Pottinger Moncreiffe published "Blood Royal", which had several editions since 1956.

Write a comment View the 0 comments Davidic descent of the Kings of France We know that Sarah Damaris, daughter of Jesus married Anthenor IV, King Sicambre (pre-Merovingian) and this couple is meets the double seed of Judah, son of Jacob, the patriarch. Judah had twin children: Pharez and Zerah. One knows the fate of Pharez, ancestor of King David, but less is known about the route of Zara, the ancestor of the Merovingians.
The Marquis of Franquerie Andre Le Sage Franquerie La La Tourre (1901-1992), writer and Catholic monarchist French, detailing the route descended from Zara and some of the ten tribes that formed the roots of the monarchies of Europe.
I do not agree with the political positions of the anti-Masonic Marquis, but I respect his considerable erudition enabled him to establish the Davidic ancestry of the kings of France.
This book is for sale and available on the website http :/ / thomiste.pagesperso-orange.fr/ascdav.htm.
I quote here the passages inherent in the Davidic descent of the kings of France and details gleaned from the Marquis on some of the Ten Tribes of Israel who made the Great European families.

Double posterity of Judah
Judah, the twenty fourth degree from Adam, brother of Levi, the ancestor of the High Priests, and Joseph became the prime minister of Pharaoh of Egypt, Judah, saying I had two son of Syrian Tamar and the Bible states: "As she was about to give birth, it seemed that there were twins in her womb. And when these children were ready to leave, one of the two passed his hand when the midwife tied a ribbon scarlet, saying: "This will release the first". But this child withdrew his hand, the other left. Then the midwife said: "Why is it wall divided because of you? ". That is why it was named Pharez. His brother, who had the scarlet ribbon left hand and then he was named Zara. "(Genesis, chap. XXXVIII, verses 27-30, cf. Matthew, I, 3).
If the Bible gives these details, it is certainly to get our attention, because it does not say anything without a reason, and an American author, Herbert W. Armstrong wrote aptly: "Why the Bible she would tell this strange story, unless the breach has been REPAIRED later between the two brothers? Still, it was the point of their lifetime. The was it between their descendants? "David, Zedekiah and Jesus were the Pharez branch and not that of Zara.
Now consider the following:
"I ° - the breach is repaired the SCEPTRE must pass the line of Pharez than Zara.
"2 - Such transfer never took place before the reign of Zedekiah, who belonged to this line of Pharez.
"3 - It follows that the transfer had to take place AFTER the death of King Zedekiah.
"4 - To the lineage of David (Pharez) remained FOREVER to the throne, it was necessary that a REVERSAL roles, a marriage took place between HEIRS of the Pharez line and those of the lineage of Zara .
According to the story, the descendants of Zara became nomads and headed northeast, in the territory of the Scythians, to join the ten tribes.
"But while the line Pharez-David-Zedekiah (the Bible calls HIGH and HIGH) still had the SCEPTRE, the line of Zara (called LOW DOWN and) always aspired to the honor of owning one day (1).
» Or Pharez fut l'auteur de la branche royale de Juda et Zara des Rois Troyens, auteurs eux-mêmes des Sicambres, dont l'un des chefs, Marcomir IV, ancêtre direct et salique des trois branches des Rois de France, avait épousé Athildis qui descendait à la sixième génération d'Anna, cousine germaine de la Très Sainte Vierge et fille de Saint Joseph d'Arimathie dont l'ancêtre commun était le Roi David, par Salomon et aussi par Nathan.
Le SCEPTRE passa donc saliquement de la branche de Pharez à celle de Zara et aussi la descendance de David assurée dans la branche de Zara par plusieurs mariages, notamment par Anna et Athildis, ci-dessus mentionnées et, antérieurement, par Tea-Tephi, la propre fille du dernier roi de Juda par les Rois d'Irlande et d'Ecosse, ancêtres de la plupart des Maisons Souveraines européennes, ainsi que nous allons le constater. Les dix tribus d'Israël, déportées loin de leur pays, ne rentrèrent pas en Palestine mais perdirent leur identité nationale.
L'historien juif précise : » Les dix tribus d'Israël formant une immense multitude se trouvent jusqu'à ce jour au delà du fleuve de l'Euphrate » (Flavius Joseph -- Antiquités Judaïques, tome II, chapitre 5). Elles se dispersèrent dans le monde parmi les gentils, plus particulièrement vers l'Occident. Les populations israéliennes, transplantées par l'écroulement de l'empire Assyrien, vers 609 avant Jésus-Christ, s'installèrent le long de la Mer Caspienne et de la Mer Noire. Lors de cet écroulement, les autres tribus restées jusqu'alors sous le joug furent rejetées plus à l'ouest, vers l'Europe Occidentale et devinrent nomades.
Didier Apartian écrit : » Alors que les Assyriens nommaient » Bitkhumery » le gros des tribus israélites, les Grecs les connaissaient sous le nom de « Cymry » ou « Kimmeroi », d'où proviennent les termes « Cimbres » et « Cimmériens ». Les Cimbres et les Cimmériens venaient de la Mer Morte. » On les trouve ensuite au nord du Pont Euxin.
Aux environs du septième siècle, ils furent chassés par des tribus venant du nord de l'Asie et qui s'appelaient les » Scythes « , ce qui explique qu'on les ait confondus avec ces derniers, cependant certains historiens appellent ceux que les Scythes envahirent les » Sacae » (6), qui en réalité n'étaient que les Cimmériens d'origine israélite parmi eux.
Ces tribus étaient les Khazars, d'origine mongole (7), qui vers le Ve siècle envahirent les deux rives de la Volga jusqu'au Don, l'ouest de la Mer Caspienne appelée à un moment » Mer des Khazars » et le nord est du Pont Euxin ou Mer Noire, autour du Palus Mæotis, qui n'est autre que l'actuelle Mer d'Azov. Leurs Chefs au Vllle siècle se convertirent au Judaïsme et les firent circoncire.
Les Saxons :
Ceux qui envahirent la Germanie, la Scandinavie et les Iles Britanniques s'appelèrent alors du nom général de Saxons, ou Isaac-sons, les fils d'Isaac. Augustin Thierry donne une indication intéressante : » Deux témoignages historiques qui remontent au temps d'Alexandre le Grand attestent l'existence d'un peuple appelé Kimmeri ou KIMRI sur les bords de l'Océan Septentrional dans la presqu'île qui porta plus tard la dénomination de JUTLAND » et la plupart des historiens sérieux affirment que les Cimbres avaient habité antérieurement la vallée du Danube. Or l'histoire montre qu'une fille de Priam, Roi de Troyes, épousa Memnon d'où à la 22e génération Odin qui épousa Frea, petite fille de Lucius frère d'Athildis, l'épouse de Marcomir IV. Odin qui est à l'origine des différentes maisons saxonnes (voir Koch. tome 11, table 2 -- Il arrivait de Scythie, environ 120 ans avant Jésus-Christ). Odin dont la mythologie scandinave a fait un dieu.
Régine Pernoud, dans son Histoire des Gaulois, écrit : » A l'époque de la Thène (vers l'an 500 avant Jésus-Christ) les Celtes n'ont pas encore d'histoire proprement dite, ils ne forment pas un empire, mais une sorte d'agrégat de peuples qui semblent avoir été assez mouvants » (Les Gaulois, pages 31-32) ; et Thierry les assimile aux Cimbres : » C'est le dernier de ces jalons qui rattache les Kimmeroi du Pont-Euxin aux Cimbres du Jutland, aux Belges de la Gaule, aux Bretons d'Albion, et nous amène à reconnaître que dans ce grand peuple résidait le noyau de la seconde des races gauloises, et que son nom si ancien, si renommé, si étendu, n'était que le nom même de cette race » (Histoire des Gaulois, Introduction, page 70).
Les Gaulois, les Celtes :
Plusieurs tribus d'Israël étaient établies dans le pays de GALAAD et, au temps du Christ cette région s'appelait aussi GAULONITIS. Il convient de rapprocher ce nom de région de Galates et Galli ou Gaulois qui finit par être donné aux habitants de la Gaule une fois que ses habitants s'y furent installés. D'autre part, Funck Brentano écrit : » Ce nom CELTE, ils (les Celtes) SE L'ÉTAIENT DONNÉ A EUX MÊMES. On les nommait aussi Galates. Les Romains les appellent Galli » (« Les Origines »). Ainsi les appellations Celtes, Galates, Galli et Gaulois s'appliquent au même peuple dont l'origine était Israël.
Et il ya lieu de remarquer que ces appellations sont à l'origine étymologiquement de Valaques, Walah, Wales, Welsch, Galles et aussi Gaël. Or le mot hébreu GOLAH, qui se prononçait » GAULAU » signifiait EXIL et il n'apparut dans la Bible au deuxième livre des Rois, chapitre XV, verset 19, qu'au moment où les habitants de Galaad et de la Galilée furent emmenés captifs en Assyrie.
Très justement, le Comte de Place, dans ses Problèmes Héraldiques (page 11), écrit : » Les tribus se sont succédées, poussées les unes les autres jusqu'au moment où La Providence a voulu que les tribus d'Israël se répandissent avec leurs chefs à travers l'Europe et que les descendants de la Maison de Juda vinssent en Gaule qui, dans les décrets éternels devait être le nouveau peuple choisi, Israël ayant rejeté l'Arche d'Alliance. » Ajoutons que l'Abbé Boudet, Curé de Rennes-les-Bains, dans l'Aude, a publié en 1886 une étude : La vraie langue celtique et le Cromleck de Rennes-les-Bains, dans laquelle il écrit : » La Gaule a été le point central de l'établissement définitif de la famille celtique dans les contrées occidentales de l'Europe » (page 1), et il ajoute : » Les Gals, descendants de Gomer, fils de Japhet, partirent de l'Asie Mineure à une époque que l'on ne peut préciser, se répandirent dans la Gaule, en refoulant les Ibères vers le sud, les Ligures vers l'est… » Les Kimris formaient la seconde branche de la famille gauloise. Les Grecs les nommaient Kimmerioi et les Romains les appelaient Cimbri.
En l'an 631 avant Jésus-Christ, les peuples scythiques, au rapport d'Hérodote, fondirent sur les bords du Palus Méotide et poussèrent devant eux les Kimris qui se dirigèrent vers le soleil couchant sous la conduite de Huar Bras, remontèrent le cours du Danube et envahirent la Gaule par le Rhin. Suivant les traditions kimriques, Hu-ar-Bras ne s'établit point dans la Gaule, mais il traversa l'Océan brumeux et conquit sur les Gals l'île d'Albion » (pages 2 et 3). Et il fait une étude remarquable sur les rapports existant entre la langue hébraïque et la langue celtique. D'autre part, Sir William Jones, fondateur de la Société Asiatique de Calcutta, avait constaté les rapprochements qui s'imposaient entre le sanscrit, le grec et le latin et il pensait que le celtique et le gothique avaient la même origine que le sanscrit et dans son ouvrage Eastern Origin of Celtic Nations, le philologue Prichard prouve irréfutablement que la langue celtique est la LIAISON INTERMÉDIAIRE entre l'hébreu et les langues INDO-EUROPÉENNES.
Prediction of Marcomir by Jean Bouchet
GENERATION OF LONG King Pharamond
The Trojans then called Scythians settled in the land of Pannonia (Region Lower Scythia) stayed there about 729 years. In the 440 before the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King Anthenor (descendant of the Trojans) ruled the Scythians. Many cruel people descended from the Scandinavian islands, now called the Goths, he declared war. After several battles lost and others won the King Anthenor was killed and a large number of Scythian with him. Marcomir his son succeeded him.
Marcomir, eldest son of Anthenor reigned 28 years after his father and began his reign after the death of his father. He was a magnanimous, very bold and warlike. He avenged the death of his father in several battles against the Goths its neighbors. While they were in far greater numbers than the Scythians, the fourth year of his reign, Marcomir took counsel with the greatest of his kingdom and he decided to destroy and annihilate the Goths, because he wanted to protect his people.
Finally, the Board of the people was that they could not destroy the Goths were too many. It was decided to move according to the oracle of the gods. Ministers of their gods were gathered to determine the will of the gods in the place where they had to go. After the ceremonies, the voice of the gods was heard saying to their idols Marcomir the voice of Jupiter not fear the long road misfortunes, to move towards the sunset and sit at the entrance of the river Rhine, and to get closer to Breton lords called English. They left the land of Pannonia, abandoning the Saxons and Goths.
The night of the same day, by divination Marcomire wanted a woman who felt great magician to know the good and bad fortunes. This woman showed her fantasy or otherwise by his body fatastic three crowned heads. The first was a Chouan, the Second was a Lion and the third an eagle. This eagle was in the middle and above with outstretched wings. The Lion and the Royalist right to left.
The eagle began to speak and said Marcomir "Your line will submit my head, and kill the lion will overcome the Chouan." The Chouan added: "If I'm ugly face, do not despise me for my King beautiful species know future things. Your generation will hear me from far away. After these things, the Lion will as a prisoner by the sword and believe in death. " However, the Lion King Marcomir told: "Very strong king, thou shalt be my guest with your family and your work you subjugueras Chouan soon and long after my rights you will be taught by great battles and tip. Then when I was overcome by thy right hand, eagle crown me lying on your left by the seed of Chouan. " After these things, the three heads were suddenly converted into human figures dressed as the King with the crown on his head, the scepter in his left hand and a sword in his right hand the King Marcomir saying: "The things that thou hast seen mean that you and your people will have a large and extensive kingdom which vary in length of time and many people who will reign, so he would never be divided into several parts. There remain divided into two when the Eagle would be associated with the Lion and also when the eagle Chouan implore the mercy disaster. "
And all these things said and uttered this vision disappeared. The King asked the soothsayer Marcomir Aliruna, meaning Prophetess, meant that the visions reported above. She tells him that the gods wanted him earlier and people could go to the land of the lion heading west. The Lion meant ancient people which was descended from Trojans who lived long on the Rhine. The other part of the river was inhabited by people of Chouan, the region of Gaul, a land full of great fruit. The eagle meant the Romans by their pride wanted to subjugate the world.
The Prophet said to the king loudly, "Go with your people inhabit the earth is between the people and those of the Lion Chouan, namely between the sea and the Rhine. The time will come when your people and that of the Chouan will be great wars and many are killed on both sides. But after several years, your successors will carry your seed will take by force the land of Chouan. After the Chouan was killed your descendants possess the time. They will submit to them the land of Lion from the sea west to the east. Finally, they possess the kingdom of the eagle with several nations and a king will come to thy seed, several kingdoms until after the third generation, the kingdom is confused by division. "
To hear these things, it must be assumed at first that there were three generations of kings of France Gallic. The first is that we are talking now of which came the King Pharamond which lasted until King Pepin, the second begins and lasts until Pepin King Hugh Capet and the third begins and lasts until Hugh Capet King Francis I., although there are some changes in generations.
However, all descended from Francus son of Hector male or female line.

However, all descended from Francus son of Hector male or female line.
In his book "The Descent of Mary Magdalene beyond the Da Vinci Code," Sir Laurence Gardner speaks of Father Malachi Martin and gives some details about the term Desposyni, I quote: "Father Malachi Martin eminent Jesuit, professor at the Vatican in 1964 was relieved of his wishes by Pope Paul VI. He had been employed at the Pontifical Biblical Institute, was a specialist in Semitic languages and had served the Holy See under Pope John XXIII. In reverting secular Malachi Martin became a writer. He unearthed a Greek word that was in the record before the Imperial Imperial Church of Contantin I only came to light. The word is Desposyni. "Desposyni" was the holiest distinctions in early Christianity, and even after a long time. It meant "Heirs of God" and as Father Martin explains, was exclusively reserved for the relatives of Jesus. "
The first use of the word "Desposyni" seems to be the fact that Julius Africanus of Edessa. This ancient historian, generally regarded as the father of chronography chrétiennt, said that even before Vespasian, the life of Jesus, Herod Antipas ordered the destruction of all aristocratic genealogies. But "Some people had sighted private documents ... and they put a point of honor to preserve the memory of their aristocratic origin. Among them, the people called Desposyni because of their kinship with the family of the Savior. "
Father Martin speaks of a time in 318, a delegation of Desposyni Rome. This fact is mentioned by Eusebius, historian of the period. The men were received by Bishop Sylvester the new Lateran Palace. Their spokesman, Joseph, argued that the heart of the Church should be in Jerusalem and not in Rome. Desposyni said that the Bishop should be a real Desposynos hereditary. After all, they said, the Bishop Clement of Alexandria wrote that Jacques, the brother of Jesus (as Bishop of Jerusalem Nazarene named) was the "Lord of the Holy Church and the bishop of bishops." Bishop Sylvester told the visitors that the power of Hi no longer subject to Jesus, but was in the hands of the Emperor Constantine! '
There is therefore surprising that the Church will be Desposynique contituée to Glastonbury and it is blown away from the dictates of Rome. It should no longer have the front of the stage before Chrétien de Troyes and other authors repeat the stories of the protagonists of the family through Desposyni illustrates the Grail legend. Christian writers would not have high men of Jewish heritage to high positions in a chivalrous, if the Grail tradition had not had to order the preservation of a sacred heritage, the preservation of the history of a family. In the thirteenth century, in his novel "Parzival" of Wolfram von Eschenbach made Knights of the Temple Guardians of the Grail family.

William Wallace Brave Heart Brave Desposyni
Sir William Wallace is one of the greatest national heroes of Scotland and the undisputed leader of the Scottish resistance against the English Empire prevailed over Scotland in the late 13th century.
William Wallace (c. 1270-1305) was a Scottish patriot who led his people against the occupation by the French (Normans) under King Edward I of England, better known by the name of Edward Longshanks and Edward the Sec.
He was a descendant of Boadicea and descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene by the Kings of Britain, the bard Taliesin, the House of Avallon del Acqs, line Carrier Grail, and Damaris by Sarah Childéramna France.
He had the physical well-known Maccabiah which came from Mary the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene the wife of Christ: He was red and very large as 6 feet 7 inches tall (2 m), while the average size men of the era rarely exceed 5 feet (1.52 m).
The sword of Wallace (exposed to Wallace Monument at Abbey Craig), claymore type, measuring approximately 66 inches in length (1.67 m), and its blade alone is 52 inches long (1.38 m).
Being the second son of the family, William did not inherit the title and lands of his father. These are rather went to Malcolm, the elder brother of William.
During the three years of insecurity that followed the death of King Alexander III, William Wallace developed his intellectual capacity and education with the help of his uncle and lined up for a career in the Church, a tradition for boys who did not inherit land, while demonstrating its abilities for French and Latin.
His love and passion for freedom can largely be attributed to his uncle, who taught him the true values and essence of freedom, as it is referred to in this phrase has often been used by William's uncle: Dico tibi verum, optima rerum livertas; Nunquam Servili sub vivito nexus, fili.
"I TE STATED IN THE TRUTH, FREEDOM IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TREASURE TO WIN. Do NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE IN SLAVERY, MY SON " This precept remained implanted in his memory until the end of his days.
Quote from William Wallace: "Man is powerful, it dominates the sky and the earth, they say, but it is still greater force because the hand that rules the world really is that rocks the cradle."
This man refused to legendary bravery oppression English (Norman) on the ground of Scotland and fought until his last breath for the independence of Scotland. He shook the English government on its foundations and even his agonizing death does not curbed the desire of Scots assert their freedom. One of the greatest feats of Wallace was his victory over the English at the Battle of 'Stirling Bridge '.
Passage of the speech William Walace before the Battle of Stirling: "Brothers, tomorrow, looking at your reflection, you will see a strong man, a man who fought for his nation, a proud man, proud to be Scottish. Today, we must wage a battle against the invader without thanks trespassed on our land. " Wallace's army, who had joined with Sir Andrew Moray, was composed at most 16 000 soldiers, including 150 armed horsemen. These soldiers were poorly armed and had no experience or training in combat, they were outnumbered by 3 to 1.
The battle lasted a little over an hour and the Scottish rebels massacred without mercy. In one fell swoop, the men of Wallace had destroyed most of the heavy knights and 5000 foot soldiers, including more than 300 archers Welsh. Victory This clearly demonstrated an army of simple peasants, with discipline and courage to fight and die for their country, is able to destroy the myth of English invincibility.
To William Wallace, the victory proved once again that he was not only a charismatic leader and a warrior, but his abilities and tactics of war were equally strong. Stirling Castle then fell into the hands of Wallace and Scotland was almost entirely free from the British forces. The victory was resounding. In December 1297, he was promoted and proclaimed Knight 'Guardian' of the kingdom of Scotland.
In 1305, he was betrayed by one of his knights, working in the service of Edward Longshanks, and was captured by the English near Glasgow. It was later brought to London where he is on trial for treason against the King of England.
Wallace said only that he was a Scot, born in Scotland, and he had never sworn allegiance to the King of England and he did not recognize the sovereignty of Edward on his own country. On August 23 of the same year, Wallace was executed. The indictment charged him with high treason, in respect That he HAD stormed and taken towns and castles, of high treason. "Traitor," Said Wallace, "I never was. "" Traitor, "Wallace said," I've never been. '
At that time, the punishment for treason was quite painful. Wallace was dragged by horses, a distance of 6 miles (9.65 km) in the streets of London. He was hanged and disembowelled before dying. His bowels were burned before his eyes, he was beheaded and his body was divided into 4 parts.
Shortly after the death of Wallace, Robert the Bruce led an army of Scots, more determined than ever to avenge Wallace and fight for their freedom. Robert the Bruce revived the national rebellion and crushed the English. In 1306 he was crowned King of Scotland.

William Wallace (c. 1270-1305) was a Scottish patriot who led his people against the occupation by the French (Normans) under King Edward I of England, better known by the name of Edward Longshanks and Edward the Sec.
He was a descendant of Boadicea and descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene by the Kings of Britain, the bard Taliesin, the House of Avallon del Acqs, line Carrier Grail, and Damaris by Sarah Childéramna France.
He had the physical well-known Maccabiah which came from Mary the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene the wife of Christ: He was red and very large as 6 feet 7 inches tall (2 m), while the average size men of the era rarely exceed 5 feet (1.52 m).
The sword of Wallace (exposed to Wallace Monument at Abbey Craig), claymore type, measuring approximately 66 inches in length (1.67 m), and its blade alone is 52 inches long (1.38 m).
Being the second son of the family, William did not inherit the title and lands of his father. These are rather went to Malcolm, the elder brother of William.
During the three years of insecurity that followed the death of King Alexander III, William Wallace developed his intellectual capacity and education with the help of his uncle and lined up for a career in the Church, a tradition for boys who did not inherit land, while demonstrating its abilities for French and Latin.
His love and passion for freedom can largely be attributed to his uncle, who taught him the true values and essence of freedom, as it is referred to in this phrase has often been used by William's uncle: Dico tibi verum, optima rerum livertas; Nunquam Servili sub vivito nexus, fili.
"I TE STATED IN THE TRUTH, FREEDOM IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TREASURE TO WIN. Do NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE IN SLAVERY, MY SON " This precept remained implanted in his memory until the end of his days.
Quote from William Wallace: "Man is powerful, it dominates the sky and the earth, they say, but it is still greater force because the hand that rules the world really is that rocks the cradle."
This man refused to legendary bravery oppression English (Norman) on the ground of Scotland and fought until his last breath for the independence of Scotland. He shook the English government on its foundations and even his agonizing death does not curbed the desire of Scots assert their freedom. One of the greatest feats of Wallace was his victory over the English at the Battle of 'Stirling Bridge '.
Passage of the speech William Walace before the Battle of Stirling: "Brothers, tomorrow, looking at your reflection, you will see a strong man, a man who fought for his nation, a proud man, proud to be Scottish. Today, we must wage a battle against the invader without thanks trespassed on our land. " Wallace's army, who had joined with Sir Andrew Moray, was composed at most 16 000 soldiers, including 150 armed horsemen. These soldiers were poorly armed and had no experience or training in combat, they were outnumbered by 3 to 1.
The battle lasted a little over an hour and the Scottish rebels massacred without mercy. In one fell swoop, the men of Wallace had destroyed most of the heavy knights and 5000 foot soldiers, including more than 300 archers Welsh. Victory This clearly demonstrated an army of simple peasants, with discipline and courage to fight and die for their country, is able to destroy the myth of English invincibility.
To William Wallace, the victory proved once again that he was not only a charismatic leader and a warrior, but his abilities and tactics of war were equally strong. Stirling Castle then fell into the hands of Wallace and Scotland was almost entirely free from the British forces. The victory was resounding. In December 1297, he was promoted and proclaimed Knight 'Guardian' of the kingdom of Scotland.
In 1305, he was betrayed by one of his knights, working in the service of Edward Longshanks, and was captured by the English near Glasgow. It was later brought to London where he is on trial for treason against the King of England.
Wallace said only that he was a Scot, born in Scotland, and he had never sworn allegiance to the King of England and he did not recognize the sovereignty of Edward on his own country. On August 23 of the same year, Wallace was executed. The indictment charged him with high treason, in respect That he HAD stormed and taken towns and castles, of high treason. "Traitor," Said Wallace, "I never was. "" Traitor, "Wallace said," I've never been. '
At that time, the punishment for treason was quite painful. Wallace was dragged by horses, a distance of 6 miles (9.65 km) in the streets of London. He was hanged and disembowelled before dying. His bowels were burned before his eyes, he was beheaded and his body was divided into 4 parts.
Shortly after the death of Wallace, Robert the Bruce led an army of Scots, more determined than ever to avenge Wallace and fight for their freedom. Robert the Bruce revived the national rebellion and crushed the English. In 1306 he was crowned King of Scotland.

Queens of Avallon
Merlin the Wizard, the Fairy Viviane, the Fairy Morgana, King Arthur … So many names which fill our imagination of dreams and fancies. But let us be a little bit realistic and we shall see that the reality removes not at all the magic of the History.
As we can see it in the presentation on the Nazareans rituals, the introduced women held personal meetings and respected a large number of rules and rites. These lunar rites reached us in the form of fragments hardly detectable at first sight, but it would seem that they continued in the person of Queens of Avallon who, for the European imagination were fairies in the real but unknown powers.
Taliesin the Bard whose legend will depict heroic deeds as Majesty Merlin the Wizard, skillful Councillor of young King Arthur Pendragon, was Archi-Druid and descendant of Yeshuah-Joseph. He married in 555, Avallon del Acqs's beautiful Viviane-Charis Queen, girl of supreme King of Avallon.
We know few things of this kingdom of Avallon and his King, if it is, that in its death he handed his throne to his daughter Viviane-Charis and that the Salic law was not current in its kingdom. Viviane-Charis thus received Queen's responsibility and from High Priestess of Avallon at the same time. Quite as his father had exercised during numerous years the same royal and religious responsibility surrounded with companions, Viviane, her, surrounded himself with young Priestesses.
I have no sources to go back up the lineage of King Supreme of Avallon, but the political and religious organization of this man at once King and Priest, reminded that of the antique Jewish monarchy, with its messianic royal distribution ( Michpat) and of Priest ( Tzedek).
This King thus had to belong to the family of David's House or to the Asmonean House, with which King also performed the office of Priest. We could even suppose that when John the Hirkan annexed Auvergne in the Rhineland for the Tribe Sicambre, he left a descendant in the South of France, transmitted him the royal responsibility and Priest and handed him the Nazareans secrets. This branch cut by the Asmonean House would then have continued up to this King Supreme of Avallon.
However the rites and the gifts inherent to the Nazareans Seers meet with a big neatness 700 years later with Viviane-Charis of Avallon. Furthermore, the family of Jesus being always worried that his descendants get married only between them, the theory of an alliance between David's House and the Asmonean House would come to reproduce the plan of the marriage of Jesus with Marie-Madeleine and this idea would be rather attractive.
In brief, from there, both Houses, that of David and that of Avallon were going to unite their descendants strictly until form the lineage of Kings Unifiers of Small French Brittany whose first known ancestor will be Nominöé.
Viviane-Charis received the badge royal of the Bee, because becoming Queen, she became officially the "Bee queen". She so promised to her people to stay up him until the Sacrifice of herself. The bee was thus the symbol of its Consecration.
She was then taken on in the red dress of the royal lineage of Eve and in a long black cape with hood representing her attachment to Nazarean Holy Order. She knew that she would reach the highest rank of the High Priesthood only having brought into the world her first child, that is when Co-Creator with God, her would have realized his High Work by giving birth.
She then took the oath to serve always the Cult of the Goddess, Divine Presence (Shékinah Celestial Mother).
This cult, was bound to the moon and to the morning star and practised between Sisters. However, it is advisable to underline that the Celtic rites of the cycle of the Earth were added to the nazareans rites of the Priestesses of Avallon, what prevents from highlighting exactly the loans of the initial rites.
Morgana The Faye, the girl of Ygerne of Avallon and Gwyr Llew, Duke of Carlisle, the mother of Mordred son of Arthur Pendragon, Morgana will be the last Priestess d' Avalon.
The Cult returned in Divine presence had for main symbols the Moon (image of Shékinah), the Morning star (image of Shékinah), the spiritual language of the nature, the water, the wind and the cycle of the life. Nazareans were convinced that the Earth must be served by the Priestesses so that she in his turn can serve the children of the people and what the cycle of the seasons is not interrupted nor disrupted.
Viviane II Queen of Avallon del Acqs, the younger daughter of King Supreme of Avallon, married Banns Bénoïc de Septimanie and brought into the world in 560: Lancelot del Acqs (more known under the name of Lancelot du Lac). Lancelot will be the bravest of the ground knights, but he lost the right for the Celestial Chivalry because of his lack of chastity.

Viviane II Queen of Avallon del Acqs, the younger daughter of King Supreme of Avallon, married Banns Bénoïc de Septimanie and brought into the world in 560: Lancelot del Acqs (more known under the name of Lancelot du Lac). Lancelot will be the bravest of the ground knights, but he lost the right for the Celestial Chivalry because of his lack of chastity.
Kings Fisherman detaining the Ark of the New Covenance reserved a room which belonged only to its service. The Cup of the Holy Grail was put down. Any oath, any alliance was contracted in the presence of the Holy Grail.
The Initiatories were given in the form of initiation called Terrestrial Chivalry. If the Terrestrial Knight respected his oath and his covenances it was allowed to see spending the service of Grail at the time of Noon and in front of its door received his Endowment Celestial Chivalry.
Only Kings of the Family of Jesus having received their Celestial Chivalry could claim to be allowed in the presence of the Ark of the New Covenance and it was then a God himself by Saint Esprit who indicated the successor of the Carrier of present Grail.
The Carrier of Grail benefited from a big prestige in the family because they had to live a just life and had the reputation to be Saints on the earth. Lancelot was intended to receive the responsibility of Carrier of Grail from time immemorial, but he had failed in his oath of chastity. He had fallen in love with Queen Guinevere marry of King Arthur and diverted her from the duty with complete impunity because he enjoyed the friendship of King.
Lancelot did not thus receive the Celestial Chivalry and carried the pain throughout his life. He married Elaine de Septimanie girl of King Pelles the last Carrier of the Grail in 582. Arthur competed for the title of Carrier of Grail following King Pelles, but to become Pendragon he had sacrificed to the classic art Celtic tradition to have his first sexual intercourse with the Big Priestess of Avalon. This rite dedicated the earth to federative King of all the Bretons of Great and Small Brittany, but was against the oath of chastity contracted to receive the Terrestrial Chivalry. Arthur had thus eliminated himself and conceived a contained fury.
One day, it seemed to him to see appearing the Cup of the Holy Grail at the time of the rise, over the Priest Catholic who celebrated the mass. He deducted that from it he had to be next King Fisherman Carrier of the Grail and threw his knights in search of the sacred Cup. But Grail could not be contained by greed.
The Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant during their war against the Hebrew and they had removed only famine from it, plague and sadness. Also, King Arthur, by his greed, received many misfortunes in his life, in particular by having no heir of his union with Guinevere, by suffering multiple warlike chesses at the end of his life and by dying in the fight pulling the sword against Mordred, his son whom he had had incestuously with Morgana the Faye his half sister.
In 583, of his union with Elaine de Septimanie, Lancelot Del Acqs had the enjoyment to have a beautiful small heir whom he named Galahad. He blesses it by giving him his name and here is the words which he pronounced: " my dear son, pride of my old age, you will grow and will be a subject of enjoyment in heavens. You will achieve that your father had no strength to realize. You were born on this earth to achieve the intentions of the very high God and always, throughout your life, He will bless you. You have the beauty of your mother, the wisdom of your grand-father King Pelles and you will follow, spotless, God's paths. Be afraid of nothing, your faith will guide you and will help you to surmount all the tests. Your glance will remain pure and your crystal clear soul because you are a son of God, Son of the Light ". He sealed his blessing and looked his wife: she wept with joy. A new era had just opened, full of hope.
The Initiatories were given in the form of initiation called Terrestrial Chivalry. If the Terrestrial Knight respected his oath and his covenances it was allowed to see spending the service of Grail at the time of Noon and in front of its door received his Endowment Celestial Chivalry.
Only Kings of the Family of Jesus having received their Celestial Chivalry could claim to be allowed in the presence of the Ark of the New Covenance and it was then a God himself by Saint Esprit who indicated the successor of the Carrier of present Grail.
The Carrier of Grail benefited from a big prestige in the family because they had to live a just life and had the reputation to be Saints on the earth. Lancelot was intended to receive the responsibility of Carrier of Grail from time immemorial, but he had failed in his oath of chastity. He had fallen in love with Queen Guinevere marry of King Arthur and diverted her from the duty with complete impunity because he enjoyed the friendship of King.
Lancelot did not thus receive the Celestial Chivalry and carried the pain throughout his life. He married Elaine de Septimanie girl of King Pelles the last Carrier of the Grail in 582. Arthur competed for the title of Carrier of Grail following King Pelles, but to become Pendragon he had sacrificed to the classic art Celtic tradition to have his first sexual intercourse with the Big Priestess of Avalon. This rite dedicated the earth to federative King of all the Bretons of Great and Small Brittany, but was against the oath of chastity contracted to receive the Terrestrial Chivalry. Arthur had thus eliminated himself and conceived a contained fury.
One day, it seemed to him to see appearing the Cup of the Holy Grail at the time of the rise, over the Priest Catholic who celebrated the mass. He deducted that from it he had to be next King Fisherman Carrier of the Grail and threw his knights in search of the sacred Cup. But Grail could not be contained by greed.
The Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant during their war against the Hebrew and they had removed only famine from it, plague and sadness. Also, King Arthur, by his greed, received many misfortunes in his life, in particular by having no heir of his union with Guinevere, by suffering multiple warlike chesses at the end of his life and by dying in the fight pulling the sword against Mordred, his son whom he had had incestuously with Morgana the Faye his half sister.

QUEST FOR THE HOLY GRAIL Bloodline of Self-Knowledge & Self-Realization
Our DNA is like a history encyclopedia. It tells us the stories of our forebearers from the first human who walked on the earth to YOU. Different DNA regions can tell us whether our ancestors interbred with Neanderthals, while other regions tell us about the path our ancestors took out of Africa. It all depends on what you want to know and your ability to interpret the genetic code. No scientific definitions for genetic ethnicity are universally accepted.
Differences in DNA sequences from person to person reflect the cumulative effects of human history. The patterns of genetic variation in the world today therefore carry a record of that history. They record the existence, sometime between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago, of a small group of people who are the ancestors of every person alive today. They chronicle the origins of “races” and “ethnic groups” and describe how those groups have both blended and separated over time.
Who Are We?
The best way to determine the genetic relationships among people is to compare the sequences of the nucleotides in their DNA. We perform a service just following the DNA trail and accepting new findings in our family trees when they come in, instead of clinging to an a priori theory/belief/wish or prejudice. Even with both a pedigree and genetic genealogy tests, the results require interpretation, and even different members of the same family can embody and display different features.
So far, there is no exclusive nor conclusive DNA signature for the Grail lineage, and there are gaps in the legends, the histories, and the pedigrees which require interpretation, if not leaps of imagination. This is as true for those of unbroken dynastic Houses as it is for those of mixed blood. Grail houses can have different Y haplogroups as well as different mtDNA signatures. While the “red gene” is significant, it may or may not distinguish noble ancestors. Typical medical problems of a line will not all present in one individual.
For example, Rh negative blood, being recessive, will only reveal itself when 2 recessive genes from the parents come together. Conceivably, only one sibling in a dozen might be Rh negative, descended from Rh positive parents. Even siblings get varied genetic packages and may not have genes from all the ethnicities or ancestors of their genealogical lines. There are different ethnic signatures.
Genetic Archaeology of ancient groups and individuals is a new research area. Genetic Archaeology is the study of genetic ancestry using modern forensic techniques to collect and blueprint ancient human remains, and rarely identify living descendants.
DNA can be used to understand the evolution of modern humans, trace migrations of people, identify individuals, and determine the origins of domestic plants and animals. DNA analysis, as one scholar put it, is “the greatest archaeological excavation of all time.” Because ancient DNA molecules are normally so few and fragmented, and preserved soft tissues so rare, scientists had little hope of finding and analyzing it. But two breakthroughs have made this possible: the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a method for copying any fragment of DNA, and the successful recovery of DNA from preserved hard tissues, bones and teeth, that are durable and relatively abundant. http://www.archaeology.org/9609/abstracts/dna.html
Your individual DNA fingerprint depends on how the chromosomes line up at conception. Some traits from both parents’ potentials will be there, while others get excluded. So, some siblings can be redheads, others not; some can have family medical problems, others not, some may be Rh neg., others not. Extensive historical knowledge of cultural practices and human migratory patterns helps us piece each story together. We may find things we never imagined and find no evidence for traits known within our lineage.
Genetic reconstructions of historical events can always be interpreted in somewhat different ways, observes Peter Underhill, the geneticist in Cavalli-Sforza’s lab who first detected variations in Y chromosomes. DNA is such a long and complex molecule that every act of human procreation produces at least some unique mutations. These mutations spill across the generations like an unusually shaped jaw or distinctively colored eyes. The result is an elaborate human genealogy, an intricately branching tree of genetic alterations.
Where Do We Come From?
By analyzing the genetic variation of modern Europeans, Cavalli-Sforza and Ammerman decided that Europeans are descended largely from populations of farmers who started migrating out of the Middle East 9,000 years ago. As the sons and daughters of farming families left their parents’ farms and moved into new territory, they interbred with the existing hunter-gatherer populations, which produced gradients of genetic change radiating from the Middle East. Only in mountainous areas unattractive to farmers—the Pyrenees homelands of the Basques, for example—were the genes of the indigenous peoples comparatively intact. Other historical events, too, appeared to have influenced the European gene pool. For example, a genetic trail leads from the area north of the Black and Caspian Seas into the rest of Europe. Cavalli-Sforza linked this trail to the spread of the descendants of nomadic warriors and herders who first domesticated the horse, about 4,000 B.C.
Evidence clearly indicates that sometime in the period 100,000 to 200,000 years ago our ancestors went through a severe genetic bottleneck. Perhaps an environmental change drove ancient people to the brink of extinction. A more likely scenario, however, is that a relatively small group, numbering fewer than 20,000 at times and probably living in eastern Africa, was isolated for many thousands of years from the many groups of archaic human beings scattered throughout Africa, Europe, and Asia.
The people who emerged from this genetic bottleneck had traits never before seen in human beings. They had lighter builds, new ways of interacting among themselves, and perhaps a greater facility with language. Eventually the descendants of these people spread throughout Africa and beyond. They reached Australia at least 60,000 years ago, probably traveling from the Horn of Africa and then along the South Asia shoreline. They arrived in the Middle East a bit more than 40,000 years ago. By 35,000 years ago anatomically modern people had spread into Europe from the Middle East and into East Asia from Southeast Asia. Sometime more than 12,000 years ago they entered the Americas.
Fewer than 10,000 generations separate everyone alive today from the small group of Africans who are our common ancestors. That’s much more than the twenty or so generations mentioned in Genesis, but it’s the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. Even over thousands of generations human groups have not differentiated in any substantial way. Rather, the genetic evidence indicates that modern human beings have expanded as a single, relatively well mixed population without subsequent genetic bottlenecks (bottlenecks tend to erase the evidence of previous bottlenecks, which is how geneticists know that the bottleneck in Africa was the most recent one). Our comparative youth as a species accounts for our extreme genetic homogeneity. The chimpanzees living on a single hillside in Africa have twice as much variety in their DNA as do the six billion people scattered across the globe.
There’s another reason for our biological homogeneity. Modern human beings have never been able to resist for long what Noël Coward called “the urge to merge.” A person traveling due east from Madrid to Beijing (both at about 40°N latitude) would pass Italians, Greeks, Turks, Armenians, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, Uighurs, Mongolians, and Han Chinese, among others. All these groups resemble their immediate neighbors more than they do groups farther away because of the continual exchange of mates across group boundaries.
There’s a simple way of describing our genetic relatedness. Not only do all people have the same set of genes, but all groups of people also share the major variants of those genes. Geneticists have never found a genetic marker that is of one type in all the members of one large group and of a different type in all the members of another large group. That’s why ethnically targeted biological weapons would never work. Every group overlaps genetically with every other. We have cultural differences masquerading as race problems.

Where Are We Going?
There is no singular gene, mutation, allele, STR or SNP that tells the whole story. There are clusters of mutations that show deep relationship patterns of regional origin in some individuals. There is no DNA report that is 100% conclusive. They use the statistical mathematics of the educated guess. Statistical and sampling flaws can lead to misinterpretations, based on too small of samplings and comparison studies. So, our own conclusions about our own DNA tests are, in part, interpretations of an interpretation. We can only draw inferences about the past based on the patterns observed in human DNA. And this is what keeps our quest alive.

A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip) is a DNA sequence variation occurring when a single nucleotide — A, T, C or G — in the genome (or other shared sequence) differs between members of a biological species or paired chromosomes in an individual.
A surname DNA project is a genetic genealogy project which uses genealogical DNA tests to trace male lineage. Because (patrilineal) surnames are passed down from father to son in many cultures, and Y-chromosomes (Y-DNA) are passed from father to son with a predictable rate of mutation, people with the same surname can use genealogical DNA testing to determine if they share a common ancestor within recent history. A genealogical DNA test looks at a person’s genetic code at specific locations. Results give information about genealogy or personal ancestry. Generally, these tests compare the results of an individual to others from the same lineage or to current and historic ethnic groups. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogical_DNA_test
