Still, it brings up even more questions than it answers. 'Galaxy Far,Far Away' not so much, maybe?

Good point, Stagger.  However, it fails to address an even greater point.
How did Cary manage all the running and falling in a suit with no vents?  It is too restricting for anything but Board Room melees.  Certainly not climbing up George Washington's nose.

Our whole family tracks back to the Languedoc region of France, but I don't know if any of them were noble or not.  However, we were also among the French Canadians that were kicked out by the Brits in the 1760s and headed out for Louisiana.

edit: I mentioned this before!  man, y'all don't read anything[/] I write, do you :P

Not sure of the whole backstory, but, I seem to remember that the minor noble's family and descendants came over to Quebec and moved southward eventually.  Don't think we ever made it to Louisiana though.

It's Saturday, dude. I refuse to look up any Latin on a Saturday. Unless I'm in the mood.

It is about Cathars and others.  Your google fu is weak on Saturdays.  I guess they don't teach Latin in school anymore.
It is really helpful if you like extra-legal economic activity.

I married into that nobility.

Having spent some time in La Belle Province it seems all of them are descendants of Minor Nobility.  Something like us bogtrotters.
Since none of the major nobility bothered to come over and the place was generally settled by vagrants and whores
along with a few impressed peasants I think everybody was into writing their own family trees using plenty
of erasers and white out and maybe, just maybe penciling in a Sieur or Signeur or two.  There is a major shortage
of "de" 's.  Probably since they did not know how to spell it.
