According to various trees this person is, literally, a saint. I tried to figure out exactly who she was so I did a Google search for Sigrade De Alsace. It looked like I had done a search on Mocavo. Results on the first 7 pages were all genealogy related. It may be that the results for the first 100 pages of results are genealogy related but I gave up after 7. Of course they all go to different disastrous trees on various sites.
Not that it will be reliable but I then tried Wikipedia. Nothing. Zip. Nada. Zilch.
So lots of people think there was a saint named Sigrade De Alsace and that they are related to her. The person who created the tree with the above profile also believes Sigrade lived over 1000 years. I would love to find out something about this supposed saint but these are an invasive species of tree that has not only taken over genealogy sites but an entire search engine as well. Sigh.
Hat tip to Janet for the heads up about this profile ;-)

I did a millionshort search and it was STILL all family trees. I couldn't find any reference of sainthood or who the person was outside of what's shared on people's trees.
ReplyDeleteWould it be wrong to make up a famous person, inventor, saint, whatever, make up a tree and see how long it would take before it started being copied? :-P
DeleteI found this reference to a Sigrades on Google UK.

This is a very large text file; Ctl-F to find a reference. The book is available on Project Gutenberg.
I only see one reference to a woman named "Sigrades." No surname or location. Mother of St. Leodegarius (B: 616). No mention of her spouse's name. The crazy trees have her born anywhere from 600 to 620. There's only a handful of Ancestry trees for Leodegarius. One has his mother as Sigrades d'Alsace. Another has him, and his brother (also a saint) married to the daughter of Sigrades.
DeleteNot surprising that the actual saint has barely a mention on Ancestry and this other one has taken over.
Your link did give me the idea to narrow the Google search to books. Of course most of the results are in French and I don't know any French :-P
Yes, there was only the one reference. I wonder if that book has any credibility with the Church? I'm not Catholic so I haven't a clue as to its reliability. It may be entirely apocryphal.
