Ancestors of LOUIS DU BOIS

Ancestors of LOUIS DU BOIS, American Immigrant
Compiled from "Your Family Tree" by Dr. David Starr Jordan, from B. C. 75
down to about 100 A. D., ending with Eustace I. Standing by itself this
source is regarded as the very best authority, Jordan being a scientist of
great distinction.
Reverend William Twyman Williams, Minister of Hampden-Sydney College,
Hampden-Sydney, Virginia is author of a sketch entitled: "Du Bois,
Seigneurs de la Bourse and de Beaufernez." Dr. Williams, himself a
descendent of Louis Du Bois, has carefully traced the ancestry of Louis Du
Bois back to Eustace I.

On the contrary, David Starr Jordan's "Your Family Tree" is one of the
very worst sources which you could possibly use to "document" a
genealogy. (Being a good scientist does not necessarily make one a
good genealogist.) Much of the genealogy which you posted from this
source is pure fiction.
Stewart Baldwin
D. Spencer Hines
1. Sacre bleu! Stewart Baldwin doesn't tell us who David Starr Jordan was!
The Professorial Protection Brigade (PPB) [this is the generic ["World
Federalist"] organization of which the GLLB is a mere local chapter] is at
work again. These folks don't want you to have the whole story.
2. David Starr Jordan [1851-1931] was not merely a "scientist of great
distinction" or a "good scientist." He had a medical degree [Indiana
Medical College, 1875] and chaired the natural science department at Indiana
University. In 1885 he became president of Indiana University. He was a
"naturalist" and a "philosopher" --- sometimes described as a "biologist" or
"botanist." His only real contribution to science was a book entitled
"Manual of the Vertebrates of the Northern U.S." [1876], written when Jordan
was 24 years old.
3. But, at heart, he was yet another academic crackpot. He was an advocate
of Nordic superiority. He opposed U.S. participation in World War I and was
a dyed-in-the wool pacifist. He was a stentorian advocate of "World
Federalism" at the expense of American sovereignty. Yes, Jordan was
strongly infected with the sort of crackpot internationalism that goes by
the shorthand moniker of "Wilsonianism" or "European Federation" --- in
1997.
4. Wayne Cohen, who hangs out in soc.history.medieval, recently pointed out
to us that his GrandFather, a Russian Menshevik, had deep suspicions of this
kind of airy-fairy Wilsonian wool-gathering, and he was correct.
It is the kind of thinking that when confronted with a practical issue ---
such as --- which harnesses and other fittings tend to choke a horse and
which do not --- would never think of actually running controlled,
practical, scientific experiments [closely monitored by horselovers and the
SPCA] on horses in order to generate hard data.
Instead this sort of in-grown, convoluted, naive and parochial mind tends to
try to find yet another moss-covered "book" or "mosaic" or "tapestry" or
"sculpture" to bury his nose in --- to the exclusion of the real, sometimes
messy and dangerous world of flesh-and-bone horses.
Such folks do not pay much attention to real flesh-and-blood people either,
particularly those who dare to disagree with them. They are dismissed as
*pig ignorant* "natives" and annoying "noise levels" by the academic
wool-gatherers, a la Woodrow Wilson --- proven by his contempt for the U.S.
Senate, and its leaders.
4. David Starr Jordan was the first president of Stanford University
[1891-1913] and was a total and vintage flake in that role. In short, the
"troubles at Stanford," that continue to this day --- began in the
disastrous reign of David Starr Jordan.
5. Jordan was yet another Academician, without much practical understanding
of the world --- book bound to a fault --- who tried to poach in fields
outside his competence --- and came a cropper.

I didn't know that this was soc.genealogy.biography. He was just making a point
as to the trustworthiness of Jordan's work "Your Family Tree". These types of
critical remarks are totally unwarrented. Stay on topic! Reading trash like
this is really painful, and it makes me want to puke! This is just another lame
attempt at pumping yourself up to appear smarter and more clever than you
really are. Masked insecurity? It would appear so. By the way, lose the quotes.
You're not fooling anyone. You're not witty. You're just a compuloser with too
much time on your hands.

My Mother came from Metamora, Illinois, in Woodford County,
where one can't swing a cat without hitting a DuBois. I, for one,
would very much like to know more about any immigrant DuBois,
their ancestry and descendants. Website referrals, anyone?
Also, what is the real deal with this Venissa/Genuissa
daughter of Emperor Claudius who is supposed to have been
married to a ridge-running British barbarian? I've run into this
tale several times, always in fringey texts, and am inclined to
discount the whole thing. So, what is the original text which
mentions this marriage? How about Athildis, where is she first
mentioned?
cheers, Judith Sanders

Try the du Bois Family Association, in New Paltz, New York. They have
published a phenomenal multi-volume genealogy of the descendants of
Chretien du Bois, of Wicres, Artois, and his son Louis, who married
Catherine Blanchan, and came to NY.
Most big genealogy libraries should have it, either in bound volumes
or on microfiche / film.
