    Default Possible Beheaded Ancestor

    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

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

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