I am among those on this list who
appreciate the contributions of the talented geneologists who contribute to
this discussion and our lives. I have been wondering about something for
several weeks now and it has been constant since last night.
As you may now know Pierre Elliot
Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, passed away yesterday at the age of
80. I have heard the following facts stated:
1) "He
was of Scottish descent on his mother's side". "Her maiden name was
Elliot".
2) "He
married a Sinclair". (Namely Margaret Sinclair-Stevens (is that
right?))
So, I was wondering where their
lines came from and their relative Sinclair-ness.
I am desperately trying not to
offend anyone (remember the Ronald Reagan spat on this list?) but there are some
mind you, who feel that he was the closest to royalty we ever had. He certainly
was a charismatic leader, and even his enemies (and they were legion -
which alone should qualify him as a Sinclair) did not dispute his
intellectual impact on the group consciousness and in our current
de facto majority government led by a former Trudeau Minister of
Finance.
"Trudeau came from a wealthy
family". He went to a Jesuit school in Quebec".
"He studied in France and at the London
School of Economics".
Sooooo - I'm totally inept and can't even
begin to figure out how to get this info for myself...and most of my friends are
not exactly ologists of any stripe...Could someone please have a look and see if
there are any Sinclair or, I suppose, other Rex Deus
connexions...?
please...
It's probably nothing but I'm really curious...?
