THANKS TO INTERNET I FOUND AND COULD GET ONE SAMPLE OF AN OLD BOOK WRITTEN BY ONE OF MY ANCESTOR IN 1795. HIS AIM IS TO GIVE ADVISES TO FUTURE GENERATIONS. IT IS NOT SURPRISING THAT HE DID NOT LET HIS NAME IN POLITICAL IDEAS HISTORY BECAUSE HIS FIRST IDEA WAS TO BUILD A MARBLE TEMPLE TO GOD IN HIS PARK.
WHAT MAKES HIM SYMPATHIC ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF REASONS TO ADMIRE MY ANCESTRY IN GENERAL (LOTS OF 'GENTLEMEN' OF THE ROBE), IT IS HIS PHILOSOPHY: ALTHOUGH HE LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF THE REVOLUTION HE IS HAPPY TO BE ALIVE, HE AND HIS FAMILY. THE LESSON IS FOR HIM THAT ONE DO NOT OWNS ANYTHING REALLY IN THIS LOW WORLD. HE STILL INTENDS TO PUT HIS NEXT SAVINGS IN AN EX-VOTO (NEO-CLASSIC STYLE I GUESS).
MY ANCESTOR WAS NOT THE ONLY GUY TO BE LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME, FULL OF OPTIMISM, NO REVENGE WILLING. I AM SURE THAT IT IS THE REASON WHY HIS LINEAGE MADE HIM A BAD REPUTATION DURING THE XIXth, ACCUSING HIM TO HAVE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY WITH GIRLS BEFORE BEING ENTIRELY RIFLED.
BANKRUPTCY IS THE ONLY UNFORGIVABLE CRIME FOR THE 'BOURGEOIS' THAT TOOK THE PLACE OF THE ARISTOCRAT.

Tiens, z'avez des aïeux qui ont donc survécu à 1789 ? Vous me direz que vous en êtes la preuve vivante, mais tout de même, quel rattage ;-)
De fait si mon ancêtre avait été guillotiné, je ne serais pas parmi vous. Quelque chose me dit que vous êtes meilleur en anglais qu'en sciences nat. Moi c'est plutôt le contraire.
