Possible Beheaded Ancestor

[MistaCee]

Dont know if this is the right section... but.

I possibly have a beheaded French ancestor.

http://les.guillotines.free.fr/guillo-v.htm

VASSEL Jean Mathieu, ci-devant prêtre, âgé de 34 ans, domicilié à Saint-Just, département de la Haute-Loire, condamné à mort comme réfractaire le 15 avril 1793 par la commission militaire séante au Puy (il s'agirait de la 1er victime de la terreur dans la Haute-Loire)

Idk what wtf it says but I know part of my family came from France a long long time ago and my last name is Vassell. So just the slight possibility is pretty neat to me:goodjob:

Well, France was really into beheading tons of people for a while, so it's definitely believable.

That guy was a victim of terrorism (medieval French Al Qaeda perhaps?) as indicated by Google Translate:

With how many French were put through the guillotine, wouldn't surprise me if most people of French ancestry have a similar connection...
