House of la Tour d'Auvergne

Question

To start off with I finished connecting the children of Prince James of Poland, I've noticed a connection to a French noble dynasty.
Here are two of the profiles: 1) the spouse of Charles and Frederic and 2) the child of Frederic

There is a list of the members of the house here

Edit: Made a start

Answer 1

Thank you Richard for suggesting work on this line.  Although it looks like I've adopted some of these profiles along the way, and then haven't had time to do anything with them, I'm not in a position to work on them right now.

However I'm more than happy for you or someone else to add what you can or create some missing members of the family to be able to unite them all to the tree.

If you are unsure of the names, then I always find that looking at the Wikipedia page in their language (the French version in this case) can provide the correct spelling and it's just as easy to copy and paste.

The only hiccup, might be if some of them are on Wikitree already but under different Last Names at Birth (LNAB).

There are some earlier Tour d'Auvergne under that name https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Tour%20d'Auvergne

Thanks John, that would be great

Answer 2

Thanks for posting this, Richard. I had been wishing to add a profile for the famous Turenne - also a Tour-d'Auvergne but somehow did not get around to it. I believe he was the great uncle of Marie Louise Henriette. I would be happy to work a little on them. I'm not promising to do it right now though.

One of the Tour d'Auvergnes married a Mancini who already has a profile.

Hi Isabelle, yup noticed that, be connected into the family

Answer 3

Out of interest:
Would I be correct with; Current last name being la Tour d'Auvergne
LNAB; Tour d'Auvergne

Comments

Yes Tour d'Auvergne seems to be the preferred LNAB.

Awesome, decided I'll make a start. Gone as far forward as the marriage to Elizabeth of Orange

Great work!

Thank you!

Also, I'll be visiting the new profiles and may be altering a few things. We want the titles in the person's language (French in this case) and also the place names should be period-correct as far as possible, also fitting the language of the place. I'd like to add links to the classic French genealogies as well, as we don't want to rely just on Wikipedia.

I've changed the first name of an unnamed child to Anonyme. I'm not sure what the official Wikitree recommendation is in this case, but in the case of a child who lived only a few days / hours, without name or gender, it is perhaps not necessary to create a profile, as the child can be listed on the parents' profiles.

Not a problem - I actually half expected that was going to happen anyway. After all they were French - not English speaking!

---

By the way, with the Motier de La Fayette family connection, I've found an image with their genealogy tracing back to the 11th century by the looks of it. Link

---

The known line goes back to Pons Motier, mentioned in 1240. Beyond that I believed the line is incomplete/uncertain.

It is a beautiful chart - of course only to be used in conjunction with good sources !

EDIT - Anselme says the Unnamed Child was a son. I've edited the profile.

Definitely! Again not a problem, thanks for the ongoing assistance!
