I am the third generation from my mother's side to marry commoners, and it's been a while since most aristocrats do it, my cousins also all married commoners since 3-4 generations... Quite strange when you think your great X3 grandpa killed your great X3 gradma, who also didn't have aristocratic blood but her father was very wealthy as he was one of Napoleon's generals, Sebastiani, not one of the famous Napoleonian generals but still, and became marshal under Louis 18th...

oh no, in France aristocracy is given only through the men, it's my mother's side, so I am not aristocrat in any way, I am a commoner, just have the genetics, that's it, and probably not a great thing, 90% of my aunts and cousins spent away their fortune, and other crazy crap, 2 of them even finishing their lives in social housing, when they or their parents, had huge properties and loads of money, but it's a great example for me not to follow, only difference is my parents made their money, my mother was scammed by her "aristocratic aunts and uncles" for the division of the fortune, she got pennys, but was only 14 and an orphan, but karma's a bitch and she has great memory

Oh no, one of my cousins spent it all on Formula 3 racing, without sponsors, it's just below Formula 1 but still costs a ton, the end of his life he was renting a room in a farm 100 km from Paris, 2 great aunts got scammed by their doctor, one lived to 100 and the other to 102, but he made them put everything on his name, the great aunt who got the castle was scammed by a scammer and lost it, and that's KARMA right there as she is the instigator of the fact my mother got almost nothing, well actions of coal mines, and in a forestry company, this was in 1944, coal was worthless and wood as well back then, brought her about 120 euros per year, both went bankrupt a few years ago, and she got not a penny more, and the others who got huge properties and money not sure as we didn't really have any news from them, but they or their children also finished either in poverty or not far from it, that we got to know...

Karma's a bitch only if you are, treat others as you would like to be treated...

Moral of the story is that it's not the social background from where you come from which gives you morality, even the biggest families don't have a problem scamming their orphan niece who's father, their brother, died tortured and executed in the hands of the Gestapo, they all got payback in a BIG way, and it puts a smile on my face every time I think about it....

That's a very tragic story, all in all.

Quite true, if I told you all the other details it is even more tragic, but not the place for it, we are already in a historic thread almost, and I would need to type pages, if one day we meet in person will tell you more. But since you seem to like History, which is my passion, I am historian, even if I never used it to make money, google "the choiseul praslin scandal 1847" it explains the huge scandal when my great, great, great grandad murdered his wife, my great X3 grandmother, probably one of the things which brought down Louis Philippe's reign, there are many english sites talking about it, and if you are good in History on the net, you can easily find that I am their direct descendant, only one Arnaud in the family from 1971...

Oh you'll need much bigger than a napkin for that to help you find Raoul and Jacques de Montalembert, I descend from them it's in between the crazy wife killer and me )))

No sorry they are hilarious for all pics, just did it for the 4 pics of girls I put here, ok 4 pics but 7 girls and really laughed at the results.

A guy trying to pass his Daytona c as real here, had put a pic from the net, some member caught him using that tool, tells you where the pic was posted, the guy admitted it was a fake and had taken the pic from the net, to pass it as real, and got banned, was a great TRF moment...

Try it you will laugh

Now all my pictures will be picked up as fake!!!

Sorry Karl, didn't know this would put younin an akward position, but really do as I suggested, the "matches" made me really laugh

[lapince]

For the lazy guys I did it for you for the last pic, Google doesn't find these pics anywhere, but gives "matches" the first is this one, and many others, some very funny but I am just putting the one which is closest to my pic...

Ok had to put one of the funny "matches" to my pic, GB put back your contacts on. So yes I must admit I did take them from the net as you can see, as it is a perfect match
