Titles Explained

June 22, 2009 by Valerie Pippi

Baron/Baroness:

Baron is a title of nobility. The word baron comes from Old French baron, itself from Old High German and Latin (liber) baro meaning “(free) man, (free) warrior”; it merged with cognate Old English beorn meaning “nobleman.

Baronet/Lady: A minor Baron but senior to a knight.  The wife of a baronet is called Lady (surname). If a woman succeeds to a baronetcy (there are only about four baronetcies which can be held by women in their own right), then she is a baronetess, Dame (forename surname).

Duke:

“A dukedom is the highest non-royal title in the British peerage. Dukes are technically ‘princes’ and although at first sight it seems that in this country a prince is higher in rank, it must be remembered that Royal children are born princes but are raised to the rank of Duke, there being a number of dukedoms used exclusively by royalty – Edinburgh, York, Gloucester, Kent, Sussex and Clarence being examples. “

Earl:

“Earl was the Anglo-Saxon form and jarl the Scandinavian form of a title meaning “chieftain” and referring especially to chieftains set to rule a territory in a king’s stead. In Scandinavia, it became obsolete in the Middle Ages and was replaced with duke (hertig/hertug); in later medieval Britain, it became the equivalent of the continental count (in England in the earlier period, it was more akin to duke, while in Scotland it assimilated the concept of mormaer).”
“In modern Britain, an earl is a member of the peerage, ranking below a marquess and above a viscount. The English never developed a feminine form of earl; the wife of an earl is styled countess (the continental equivalent).”

Knight and Sir Knight:  Click here

Laird versus Lord:

  • “A Lord is a member of the titled aristocracy,a peer member who can run for a seat in Parliament in the House of Lords.A Lord can be a Marquess,Earl,Viscount or Baron.
  • The ‘title’ of Laird is a ‘corporeal hereditament’ (an inheritable property that has an explicit tie to the physical land), i.e. the title can not be held and cannot be bought and sold without selling the physical land. A Laird is said to hold a Lairdship. A woman who holds a Lairdship in her own right is styled with the honorific Lady.  Though translated as Lord and signifying the same, Laird is not a title of nobility.

Landgrave: 

A title of nobility in Germany and Scandinavia, dating from the 12th century, when the kings of Germany attempted to strengthen their position in relation to that of the dukes (Herzoge). The kings set up “provincial counts” (Landgrafen) over whom the dukes would have no control and who would have rank and authority equivalent to those of dukes. Later—and more commonly—the title was given to counts in order to make them directly dependent on the king (or emperor).

Margrave/Margraf

A Margrave or Margraf was the “(L)ord or military governor of a medieval German border province. 2) Used as a hereditary title for certain princes in the Holy Roman Empire.”

Marquis/Marquess

A marquess or marquis is a nobleman of hereditary rank in various European monarchies and some of their colonies. The term is also used to render equivalent oriental styles as in imperial China and Japan. In the British peerage it ranks below a duke and above an earl (see Marquesses in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth). In Europe it is usually equivalent where a cognate title exists. A woman with the rank of marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness (in British usage), or a marquise.

Seigneur

The possessor of a seigneurie (fiefdom) in medieval feudal or manorial systems—Feudal Lord

Viscount/Vicount:

“Viscounts display nine silver balls on a circlet in an heraldic representation of their coronet. Even if a Viscount has a secondary title of baron, this is not used by his heir and all his children are simply ‘Hons’.”“A nobleman ranking below an earl or count and above a baron.”

Human Journey Library

April 10, 2009 by Valerie Pippi

After receiving a very stirring autobiography from a descendant of a Mr. Thomas Adams (1832-1918) to post on my genealogy site, I realized the walking library that is carried within each one of us.  How wonderful it would be to preserve a collection of autobiographies by our older citizens housed together in what I would call a Human Journey Library. 

I am opening such a Library here with just the one account by Mr. Thomas Adams.  I hope to hear from older citizens who would like to submit and share their life experiences or a written autobiography left by an ancestor. 

Mr Thomas Adams (1832-1918)
Born in Ireland, Thomas takes us on his journey to America, his marriage to Elizabeth Holland, the Civil War and burning of Atlanta, his gold mining adventure, and finally his reflections.

SURNAME VARIATIONS

August 15, 2008 by Valerie Pippi

I’ve created this page to list surnames and their evolution.  Since, surnames evolve, I generally use the most commonly used modern spelling (this helps me with research) at the Renegades, Revolutionaries, Reverends, and Royals II

Examples:

  • Baillie, see “Bailey.” NOTE: Baillie v. Balliol : ” Traditionally  Baillie is believed to be a corruption of the once illustrious name of Balliol which was changed on account of the unpopularity of the two Scottish Balliol kings. Most authorities agree, however, that Baillie is derived from the office of bailie or bailiff, being either an officer administering an estate or the equivalent of a magistrate in a burgh.” Clan Baillie.
  • Barker/Bakker: see Baker
  • Bosvile/Bosville, see “Boswell.”  (Bosvile Family)
  • Bulkeley/Barclay/Buckley see “Berkeley”
  • Burgh/Bourke/Burrage {pron. “Burrak”), see “Burke”
  • Carew (pronounced Cary), see “Crew”.
  • Cocke/Cocks, see “Cox” {European sources use “Cocks”, Americans “Cocke”spelling}.
  • Colquhoun, see “Calhoun”.
  • D’Ouilli/D’Oyley, see “Doyle” (The Doyle family originally came from France [D'ouilli]. They moved to Ireland during the Inquisition. Around 1600 their name was changed to D’oyley and later it was changed again to Doyle.)
  • Doane/Donne/Done, see “Dunn”.
  • Fane/Vain/Veynes, see “Vane”
  • Farrow or Ferris: See “Farrar” and “Ferrers“
  • Fychan is the origin of the common Welsh personal name Vaughan (Wikipedia)
  • Harrold/Heald/Arrell/Herrell: see “Harrell“.
  • Hobart/Hobard/Huber: see “Hubbard.”
  • House/Howse/Holse see “Hulse”
  • Kerr: see “Carr”

  • Leybourne/Leyburn: see “Lilburn”
  • Le Strange/Strang/Stonge: see “Strong”
  • Lucie/Lucy/Lacie: see “Lacy”
  • Maredydd (Celtic): See “Meredith”
  • Molyneux/Moleyns: See “Mullins”
  • Mores/Morse: see “Morris”
  • Pearce/Pearse/Perse: see “Pierce” and ”Percy“
  • Reynolds see ALSO Rennels (Reynel is an early form of this surname).
  • Rhys/Rees/Rice: See “Reese”
  • Tollmache/Talmadge: See “Talmage”.
  • Tournai: See “Turney”.
  • Traxel, Drachsler, Trexler, Troxel, see “Troxell“
  • Tybotot/Tibetot, see “Tiptoft”

DNA Information and Surnames

August 15, 2008 by Valerie Pippi

I’ve created this page to provide general information on DNA/mtDNA information for visitors looking for family ties at my  Renegades, Revolutionaries, Reverends, and Royals II Tribal Pages website.  By the way, I don’t have a clue how to interpret DNA results :roll:

mtDNA Information:

My tested mtDNA came back J* so my mom’s female line would be in that category, which I understand would be be the mtDNA of all female offspring of that line.  MtDNA testing is used only to trace the female lineages.

J*  Specific mitochondrial haplogroups are typically found in different regions of the world, and this is due to unique population histories. In the process of spreading around the world, many populations—with their special mitochondrial haplogroups—became isolated, and specific haplogroups concentrated in geographic regions. Today, we have identified certain haplogroups that originated in Africa, Europe, Asia, the islands of the Pacific, the Americas, and even particular ethnic groups. Of course, haplogroups that are specific to one region are sometimes found in another, but this is due to recent migration.The mitochondrial haplogroup J contains several sub-lineages. The original haplogroup J originated in the Near East approximately 50,000 years ago. Within Europe, sub-lineages of haplogroup J have distinct and interesting distributions. Haplogroup J*—the root lineage of haplogroup J—is found distributed throughout Europe, but at a relatively low frequency. Haplogroup J is generally considered one of the prominent lineages that was part of the Neolithic spread of agriculture into Europe from the Near East beginning approximately 10,000 years ago.   (Family Tree DNA)

J*:World map distribution of mtDNA Haplogroups pre-1500 A.D.

J* Haplogroup Recent Family Surnames that match my result: (some represent females with the Surname by marriage)

Alexander,Allison, Ashley, Austin, Baker, Carter, Brannam, Bryant, Camara, Christian, Conley, Dalton, Fitzhugh, Hayes, Heard, Hunt, Johnson, Logan, Longrod, Lusk, Martin, Michel/Mikels, Miller, Murphy, Orchard, Palmer, Patten, Putnam, Queener, Reeves, Rhoads, Schweizer, Sinclair, Stevenson, Stewart, Thompson, Thornton, Underwood, Wallace, Ward.

**********

DNA information

R1b1 DNA result 08/03/07 for DNA of my maternal great-grandfather Henry Howard Mikels.

Surname Projects with this Y-DNA type can easily be located by typing “surname projects R1b1” into your search engine.

Y-DNA Haplogroup R1b

R1b probably arrived in Spain from the east 30,000 years ago among the paleolithic or “old stone age” peoples considered to be aboriginal to Europe. It is believed that everyone who is R1b is a descendant in the male line from an individual knows as ‘the patriarch’ (Bryan Sykes named this group ‘Oisin’ in his DNA book ‘Blood of the Isles’) since his descendants account for over 40% of all the chromosomes in Europe. This haplogroup is characteristic of the Basques who language is probably that of the first R1b, and who are genetically the closest to the original R1b population which probably amounted to only a few thousand individuals. (Family Tree DNA)

I do not have  Y-DNA confirmation on my maternal grandfather Emory Ellsworth Troxell, but here is a website with some Troxell results showing Haplo R1b1: TRACHSEL, TROXEL, TROXELL GENEALOGY STUDY (Older surname variations: DRACHSELL, DREXLER, TREXLER)
