I was not aware that Joan of Arc had any descendants. Butler's"The lives of
the Saints" Edited by Michael Walsh Pages 160-163. The article mentions
her mother and two brothers. As she was not yet twenty when she died.

I appreciate the position of this English Lady [or Lady of some other
nationality, living in England].

She probably realizes there are many casual requests from folks who are
not really very serious about Genealogy. She has perhaps been taken
advantage of before --- by some flake --- and perhaps she doesn't want a
repeat performance.

Caveat: I am only sharing this website. I have not researched this and I DO NOT vouchsafe it’s accuracy.

It does appear St. Joan had a brother, Pierre who married and had children. This may be a starting point: https://web.archive.org/web/20120208020617/http://www.stjoan-center.com/topics/Descendents_of_Pierre_dArc.htm

My grandmother born in 1933 had told me years ago that we are blood relatives to Joan of Arc. My grandmother (Anne Marie Duvall-Barnhart) was born in (I believe) Nancy, France on June 3, 1933. I am unaware of her parents names but I do know that she had an older sister named Michelle. No other siblings. That is all I know but I have a burning desire to trace this back. Can anyone help me?

If any help to this inquiry, Anne married Clyde Lawrence Barnhart on April 5, 1954 (I believe) He was in the American Airlines Force and met her in France while stationed there. They were married shortly after and she moved to America and lived. She is still living but very frail on this day, Nov. 3, 2018. Thank you for any help or information that you could provide.

I have some advice, but you are not going to like it. The advice is that there is no substitute for doing your genealogy the same way, whether your family has a tradition of someone famous back the tree or not.

Even were the tradition true (and almost all such traditions aren't), you would have in the neighborhood of 100,000,000 different possible ancestral lines back to Joan's time, making it completely impracticable to trace them all. Likewise, when people do genealogy with a goal - 'I want to find a line that traces to X' - they tend to do bad genealogy because they reach conclusions based on the goal and not the evidence.

So, all you can do is use the French civil records to find your grandmother's parents, then their parents, etc., and follow it wherever it leads. With luck, you will get some of the lines back to the 17th century, and perhaps a few earlier yet. With even more luck you may find a connection to a family that can be traced to medieval times. That is when this group can help you.
