W.A.R. has given us a first stab at her ancestry here

http://www.wargs.com/other/voight.html

Angelina is a 10th cousin to me.

I noticed the relatively good possibility that an extensive addition
could be made, when I noticed in her tree Paul Jette and his wife
Marie-Louise Robillard. There is no guess as to when they lived but
their daughter Marie Marguerite Jette married Jean-Baptiste Bertrand
in 1822.

Would anybody be interested in assisting me in trying to work up this
Jette line, taking this part back to the immigrants? I have just
found this marriage record for this Paul and Marie-Louise. Anybody
who is interested would probably need access to some of the major
works (or online resources) on French-Canadian ancestry.

Thanks
Will Johnson

Working on it but I think this is not very relevant to medieval

Correction : she descends from Catherine de Baillon, so she has
medieval ancestry...

Except for minor improvements, I have completed the work...

Done :-)

http://www.francogene.com/genealogie/artistes/angelina-jolie.php

I stopped at the generation where there are only ancestors of
Catherine de Baillon, i.e. where there is no more commoners.

There is more Denis.
At position 100-102 (at least) are also more French Canadians. I'm
not sure about 103 Olive Wolfe, but 102 Prudent Fortier has
possibilities. I'm going to see if I can find more on him.

Done too. I forgot to link this line yesterday but nonetheless, I
made the search. I need about 30 minutes to relink the complete
database and then I will refresh my page.

12 BERTRAND, George, fils de Louis BERTRAND (24) et de Delina
Adeline MAYETTE (25)
13 LEDUC, Angeline

Now, if you can find the parents of Angeline Leduc... I don't have
access to ancestry.com from home but I presume that something could
be find from the censuses.

Denis and group,
I published Angelina's French-Canadian ancestry in "Michigan's
Habitant Heritage" (published by the French-Canadian Heritage Society
of Michigan) starting with the April issue of 2008 and running through
October. Due to her ancestry from Catherine Baillon, the ancestry
stopped in October.

For those interested in the French Canadian ancestry, you can see her
ancestry at the following link in my database at RootsWeb:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=wolfordsheppard&id=I133640

Sources are found on the individual pages.

For those who are only interested in her medieval ancestry, from the
pedigree view, follow Marie Madeleine Miville (who married Nicolas
Lizot) back to Catherine Baillon. Her line is extended back to
medieval royalty. The royal ancestry is based on René Jetté, John
DuLong, R Yves Gagné and Gail Moreau DesHarnais' superbly documented
book on Catherine de Baillon.

There is a website indexed in google called something like the Catherine
Baillon project or something like that.
It discusses the research into her ancestry. I don't recall the exact URL
right now, and I'm on my way out the door, but if no one else has found it, I
will look for it later today.

Can't you follow the discussion ?

Look for Catherine de Baillon. You will find her ancestry on
my sites including mine.

Dear Group,
I apologize if my directions on how to find her royal ancestry were
clear as mud.

Catherine de Baillon's royal ancestry can be found here:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=PED&db=wolfordsheppard&id=I035119

The ancestry is based on "Table d'ascendance de Catherine Baillon"

The twelve generations covered in the book + multiple charts from
Charlemagne and the Byzantine emperors, sources and explanations in
French are contained in a 206 page book which can be ordered from SGCF
[ http://www.sgcf.com/baillon.php]

Catherine de Baillon has a number of other famous descendants who can
also be found in the my database, including Canadian Cardinals,
Bishops, Canadian politicians, writer Jack Kerouc, and singers, Celine
Dion (one of the lines was printed in the Catherine de Baillon book)
and Isabelle Boulay (the first four generations of her ancestry was
found on Denis Beauregard's website at
[ http://www.francogene.com/genealogie/arbres.php ]

These individuals can be found using the index:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?includedb=wolfordsheppard

John DuLong's discussion of the Catherine de Baillon project
[including one table from Charlemagne and a table from Theodore
Lascaris] can be found here
[ http://www.habitant.org/baillon/index.htm ]

O.K.

The CORRECT ANSWER to my question is...

"We don't have any PROVEN ascents to Royalty for ANGELINA JOLIE."

"But we are working on it..."

"Any ascent to Royalty we speculate about for Angelina would seem to pass
through CATHERINE BAILLON."

"Here is ONE postulated ascent to CHARLEMAGNE for Catherine Baillon."

"The Most Recent Royal Ancestor is Philippe II Auguste."

And, amazing as it seems, the lazy troll Hines found his answer (such
as it is) by himself. Will wonders never cease?

Perhaps Hines would now condescend to explain the weakness in this
line - i.e., why it is only "postulated".

So, Angelina Jolie's Possible Most Recent Royal Ancestor would appear to be
PHILIPPE II 'Auguste' [1165-1223] -- Roi de France -- reigned 1180-1223.

Not really all that impressive.

Slovak surname but George Voytka, Angelina's Great-Grandfather was
reportedly born in Kassa, Hungary [now Kosice, Slovakia], 24 April 1879.
