Ceremonial Counties in England:
(Quote) Avon was mostly split between Gloucestershire and Somerset, with Bristol regaining its status of a county in itself. Cleveland was partitioned between North Yorkshire and County Durham. Hereford and Worcester was split into Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Humberside was split between Lincolnshire and a new ceremonial county of East Riding of Yorkshire. Also at this time, Rutland was restored as a ceremonial county. Many county boroughs were re-established as “unitary authorities” which involves establishing the area as an administrative county, but usually not as a ceremonial county. (Unquote)

Ashtead, Surrey, England

Lancaster, Lancashire, England

Salop AKA Shropshire, England

Titles Explained

June 22, 2009 by Galactic Maya

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).

Dauphin/Dauphine

Dauphin: The title of the eldest son of the king of France, and heir to the crown. Since the revolution of 1830, the title has been discontinued.

Dauphine: The wife of a Dauphin.

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

Kurfurst (wikipedia):

“The prince-electors (or simply electors) of the Holy Roman Empire (German: Kurfürst (About this sound listen (help·info)), pl. Kurfürsten, Latin: Princeps Elector) were the members of the electoral college of the Holy Roman Empire, having since the 13th century the privilege of electing the King of the Romans or, from the middle of the 16th century onwards, directly the Holy Roman Emperor.The heir-apparent to a lay prince-elector was known as an electoral prince (German: Kurprinz). The dignity of Elector carried great prestige and was second only to King or Emperor.[1]”

”

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.

Fake Scots Titles
“Lairds are recognised by their Territorial Designations in Scotland for example; Joe Blogs of Heathcliff or Joe Blogs, Laird of Heathcliff, they would not use Laird Joe or Laird Blogs. Again these Territorial Designations are recognised by The Lord Lyon of Scotland and you can not have multiple owners of a particular designation (or Lairdship).”

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).

Lord Privy Seal

(Quote) In the UK, the Lord Privy Seal is the fifth of the greatest officers of state, behind the Lord President of the Council and before the Lord Great Chamberlain.
Originally, he was responsible to keep the personal seal of the sovereign (as opposed to the Great Seal, which is borne by the Lord Chancellor). Despite being one of the oldest in the kingdom, it gives no special function to its owner, except that of a cabinet position, so that one is generally considered the equivalent of a Minister without portfolio.

Since the government of Clement Attlee, the burden has been frequently associated with that of Leader of the House of Lords or Leader of the House of Commons. (Unquote) Lords Privy Seal

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

Sénéchal (Major Domo or Steward)

…was an officer in the houses of important nobles in the Middle Ages. In the French administrative system of the Middle Ages, the sénéchal was also a royal officer in charge of justice and control of the administration in southern provinces, equivalent to the northern French bailli.

Squire (Wikipedia):

“A squire was the shield bearer or armour bearer of a knight.[1] Use of the term has evolved over time. In the Middle Ages, it referred to a trainee knight but it would come to mean a leader of an English village, often a justice of the peace or a Member of Parliament. Currently, in the United States, it refers to a Justice of the Peace or to a similar local dignitary. A squire was also known as the “Errand Runner” or ‘Servent’ of the knight.”

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.”

DNA Information

August 15, 2008 by Galactic Maya

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 🙄

mtDNA Information:

My tested mtDNA came back J*, subclade J1c8 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)

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.
