Jeannie, Don't rock the boat. I'm too fragile. I have already nailed down these Ramey ancestors and have gone on to others. I would hate to think I would have to start all over again. If the Remys were of noble birth, not necessarily of royal birth, they may not have been of enough renown to become part of French history, but being landowners and having special favors bestowed upon them and the like, records were probably kept. Perhapes our Doctor Rhamey had access to old records. Genealogy going back this far, hundreds of years, is a shot in the dark anyway. During the Dark Ages, when many of these Remys lived, things disappeared. A lot was lost. Who knows what was happening then. Scientists tell us that there were massive fires across the land. Stop and think. If our electrical power system in this country was eliminated completely. Most all of our records concerning everything we are doing or have done would be lost. Everything is kept on computer hard drives. What we are today seems to depend on being able to push a botton that is connected to a power supply somewhere. Anyway, Maybe Dr. Rhamey had actual records of long ago Remys to draw from, or maybe he made it all up or thought he was right when actually he was wrong. I would be interested in what Rick Ramey on this list has to say about all of this. Rick has been doing serious Ramey research for years. I know that he does not rely on The Book for his information. What does Rick think of the ancestors of Jacob Remy? Lois Arthur ------------ORIGINAL MESSAGE------------ : Just HOW did the name of Rheims-Ramey-Remy etc etc etc.... OR Didier Remy : come out of Desiderius and this history.... NO where can I find the name : of Ramy regardless of how you spell it............. : : NOW...... the next biggie is has ANYONE proven the parentage of : Jacque/Jacob born 1630 and our basic everyday grandpa in this family? : : OR are we just taking the old Dr's word for it..... I have sure been : finding that the good Dr was sort of off base once he left this country.... : Perhaps just wishful thinking..... Am I wrong........ : : Jeannie <>< : : : ==== RAMEY Mailing List ==== :
