    Saints and Blessed Who Left Descendents - Brian D Starr

    INTRODUCTION

    Saints whose lineage is known is a work that shows the relationship of the Saints parentage, Grandparentage, Great Grandparentage etc…. in an attempt to show the relationship to the Saint.

    Saints Who Left Descendents, my previous work, included all the Saints that could be considered bloodline saints. All these Saints left descendents and were the direct ancestors of the royalty, and so about one of three Americans. It is said that one of three Americans can prove descent from some sort of royalty. The Saints in the work Saints Who Left Descendents are these Americans ancestors.

    Many and very probably most of the Saints however did not have children, but were monks, nuns, hermits, clergy, etc… all of which left no children. This work will attempt to include all the Saints whose parentage is known, or at least all the Saints who can be identified in a tree format, such as a family tree. Many Kings and Queens sons and daughters became saints, and these saints left no children. However the relationship to the King and Queen is known through their ancestors. Following parentage up many generations is sometimes required to bring the relationship of the Saint to an ancestor whose descendents are known to be the royalty of the European Continent. However, in most cases a sibling’s descendents are known, or Grandparents descendents are known.

    Each Saint cited will include the feast day if known, the parentage or ancestry of the Saint, and a brief description of why this person attained canonization, or if not canonized why this person was called a Saint. A brief examination of their ancestry is presented, and which branch of the tree the saint is related to.

    There are numerous ways to climb the tree and arrive at any particular Saint, and the tree is joined at various places by marriage. However certain families of Saints are related to each other. These families are interrelated thru descent from the sons of Noah, and of course the Israelites who are descended from Abraham. Also each saint is born in a certain country, and the lines of division in Europe and other countries are defined by the people’s faith and veneration of the saints in each country. So, the timeline of Saints by country is important to consider as the evangelization of each country or conversion of the country to Christianity has occurred at different times in history.

    Of course Christianity being based on Judaism and being centered in Rome, shows the conflict that has occurred in countries as the civilization of Rome, coupled with the religious impact of Christianity and the occurrence of a Saint. The conflict in Jerusalem in 70 AD, which destroyed the temple and made Israel subject to the Roman Empire shows the divisions that have occurred as each country in history that is converted to Christianity and a Saint is made in Rome that is credited with the conversion of a Country. The occurrence of a Saint in the Country, and relationship to the branches of the tree where the Country is defined in its people defines the influence in Rome of the Country. Certainly a Country such as the USA that is merely 229 years old does not have the past to compete with the Saints in Rome that have been in existence for centuries for some other countries that are much older. Since the Conversion of the Roman Empire to Christianity with the life of Constantine the Great many Saints have been canonized.

    Clearly the conflict in Jerusalem that occurred in 70 AD was turned around at this point with the philosophical persuasion of the underground Christian faction that eventually converted the Roman empire and the formation of the European States that had feudal warfare for centuries as Christianity continued to grow as a major world religion. As each state was formed and the King, or power that was in power came to the realization that his people needed to be ruled with compassion and equity, the defining influence of the past people that came before became important to the character of the country.

    The influence of the lines of David and Israel, the lines of Abraham the lines of Noah have defined the character of each nation. Of course the European nations, where Christian Civilization is much older than nations in the New World have more to consider in the timeline of the existence of the country. The New World Nations civilization has existed since Spain, England, France, and Portugal occupied the New world and split it into separate countries. Each one of these countries has had their martyrs and religious Saints that are venerated in each country. Many of these saints origins were in Europe, but their canonization cannot be more than about 400 years old. However in 1971 The seven hundred year anniversary of the fabled King of France Saint Louis was celebrated.Certainly a recently sainted King of a European country is much older than any New World Saint could ever be. Therefore the study of the branches of the tree the individuals in this work will focus mainly on the Old World Sainted, in reference to the European roots and the lines that reach back into the Old Testament Time Period, although many of the lines are not mentioned in the writings that are held sacred.

    Because one of three Americans can trace their lineage to old world Royalty and the Royalty is interrelated this work will attempt to show not only those Saints whose lineage is known and can be found in a branch of the tree, but also the main branches of the tree and the families of Saints that are interrelated. Clarifying which branch each saint is connected to and a chapter on the origin of each branch of the tree that is known will lead to an understanding of the tree and an interpretation of the Israelites, or Sons of Noah, or descendents of Abraham.

    The work Saints Who Left Descendents traces all the saints who are what could be termed as Bloodline Saints, or Saints whose blood is likely flowing thru all of the New World peoples who can show some connection to European origin. This work, Saints in the Tree, will focus on all the Saints whose lineage can be traced by first climbing the tree to find an ancestor whose descendents line can be traced.The tables in the book will show the families of the Saints, the countries of the Saints, the Feast days the Saints are celebrated and the most general listing the timeline of the Saints Origin.

    Format Explanation

    Each Saint has an entry for the feast day that the saint is celebrated.

    Following that the date the saint was born or died is given.

    Next the family of the saint is given with entries for the Father, Mother, Spouse and Siblings and descendents if any.

    The section ancestors explain what ancestors are known about this saint, if any.

    The section Branches of the Tree explains the branch of the tree where the saint resides and the other saints and or Kings or Queens or Emperors that are close to the Saint in the tree, usually within three generations.

    The last section of the page explains the biography.

    Because this work has no Saints who left descendents (or at least no saints who left more than one or two generations of descendents and the line died out ) in most cases had enough descendents to trace lineage to a living person, these saints were all hermits, Bishops, Priests, or Kings whose line became extinct. So the ancestry of the Saint is followed going up the tree until an ancestor is known whose lineage is traceable to descendents (one out of three Americans.)To find the saint in this book one must go up the Tree and then find a branch that goes down a few generations. In some cases the lines going down may be as long as twenty or more generations, but in most cases it is one or two and in very rare cases in excess of seven.

    Book Sections

    There is a Chart in the book that has an alphabetical listing of these Saints, and they are present in the Gedcom.

    There is next a Chart that has the Chronological order of the Saints.

    There is a section of the book that lists each Saint according to Feast day. This is in Chronological order of the Saint without regard to the year the Saint lived, but with regard to the monthly and daily calendar.

    There is a section that lists the two hundred or so Saints in the Tree listed by Country of Origin. The two tables in the front section of the book list the Saints in Chronological Order, which is how the Saints are listed in the book. There is also a chart that lists the same Saints in alphabetical order.

    The last section of the book lists the lines going to the Israelites Levi, Judah, Joseph, Benjamin, and Zebulon, Also is written the lines of descent from the pharaohs and from Judah’s son Zerah. The two lines from David thru Solomon to Saint William of Toulouse and Saint Joseph of Arimathea, a descendent of Nathan is also listed.

    All these lines are listed in the Gedcom that is available and on the pdf file that is on the CDrom.

    NOTES ON THE AVAILABLE GEDCOM

    Please see page 201 of this book to see the offer for the Gedcom file on CD. This is a file that contains the genealogy information referred to in this book. The information is in a file that can only be opened by a genealogy or family tree type of program. There are free genealogy programs available on the internet on some sites. Please write the author for more information. Unfortunately the gedcom file is very large and so is difficult if not impossible to email. It is a research gedcom, with most of the sources not listed. However if you are interested in all the spaces in-between a Saint and a King or Queen or Bishop or Pope, then the gedcom is something worth having. Many genealogy programs can list the relationship between two individuals in the file, such as 40 generations up or 34th cousins etc….

    The gedcom represents about three years of work finding the information. Much of the information is undocumented, and is difficult to prove. However much of the information can be backed up by historical research. Many of the royal lines are documented, and many of the roman lines are documented. Of course any source can be refuted, and in genealogy many people take sides on whose documentation is to be respected. I will leave it to the reader to speculate about the truth of the genealogy lines. It is sufficient for the author to say that none of the information in this book, or any other book the author has written, is fabricated in any way. All the information was found on the internet or on books written about the Saints. On the internet many sources were listed on much of the information.

    Finding the information has been very entertaining. Many of the written and copyrighted books on the Saints give a clue such as the parentage, or the siblings, or aunts or uncles of the Saint. Using the internet to find the parents, or the relationship has proven enjoyable. Any link to a Saint that can be found relating to the lineage and or descent of the Saint makes the Saint eligible for inclusion in this book. If the Saint left descendents and their line continued, that Saint would be eligible for inclusion in the book Saints Who Left Descendents and Their Ancestry, also available from the author.

    This table represents the Saints in Alphabetical order for easy identification of the Saint. Find the Saint and check the year that Saint died. That Saint will be in the Section of the Century that the Saint died.

    This table represents the Saints in Time Line fashion for easy identification of the Saint.
