I've been looking forward to getting some Canadian connections happening in the Global Family Reunion, and now they are finally starting to pop up. Here's one from 17th century Quebec (Hi Lianne! Hi Roland!) Josiah (Rising) Raizenne is 34 degrees removed from AJ.

Yay! I've been keeping an eye on the category hoping to see a French sounding name pop up (I got my hopes up with Toussaint but it turned out to be from the Netherlands). Finally, hope of finding my connection! :)

Hooray!
Love the blog post!
Fantastic!  What other nationalities and locales can we connect?
Well from Lianne, we can connect to me, and I'm married to a Brazilian so there's a Brazilian connection if we didn't have one before...
Also if you go through me you get English, Scottish, and Swedish connections!

Unrelated to me, I was working on a family that led me to an immigrant to the US from the Netherlands: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Toussaint-93

Interestingly, I found another connection of my family to the Risings/Raizennes through Joseph Kent (My grandmother's uncle was a Kent, and a pretty important one - but that's the subject of another post). I find that I myself am only 19 steps away from Josiah Rising/Raizenne.  That makes me only 39 steps away from Lianne.

This looks like a line that's pretty scant on WikiTree, so it may take me a while to put together the profiles to make the connection, but I will work on it.

verry exiting to loocking this al up

with ugly feeling how they have treeten thees people them days
