As a follow up on the "Flora Thibodeau" series, I decided to venture to the site re:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_supercentenarians, note the following Canadian super centenarians who are ranked at "twin" number:
| 11 | Flora Thibodeau[1] | F | 20 March 1901 | 22 January 2014 | 112 years, 308 days | New Brunswick | New Brunswick |
| 22 | Ethel Lyman[8] | F | 8 June 1880 | 9 December 1991 | 111 years, 184 days | Ontario | Quebec |
| 33 | Flore Belland[8] | F | 6 September 1872 | 18 February 1983 | 110 years, 165 days | Quebec | Quebec |
| 44 | Joseph Saint-Amour[8] | M | 26 February 1852 | 16 March 1962 | 110 years, 18 days | Quebec | Quebec |
Flora is the first one, ranking at number 11!! The third one has a similar first name re "Flore", hence an addition to the "Flora/Flore" pattern-cluster. Note as well that "bell" comes from the same origin as "flora", note the following etymology:
flora (n.) 1777, "the plant life of a region or epoch," from Latin Flora, Roman goddess of flowers, from flos (genitive floris) "flower," from *flo-s-, Italic suffixed form of PIE *bhle- "to blossom, flourish" (cf. Middle Irish blath, Welsh blawd "blossom, flower," Old English blowan "to flower, bloom"), extended form of *bhel- (3) "to thrive, bloom," possibly identical with *bhel- (2) "to blow, swell" (see bole).
The fourth one ranked at #44, re Josepth Saint-Amour, appears to be an audd man out, although he does have a French surname that means "Saint Love"... and love does tend to "swell and blossom".
The 22nd it seem should have special meaning to us given one of the inner twin worlds trade mark signature is multiples of 2's. There is something about her surname "Lyman" which is an addition to the "Cryptic phrases in Names" pattern-cluster re "lie man"...or "lie Mann". Recently I posted on author William F. Mann, and in particular the post points out that Mann lied (although I wasn't as blunt), note the following excerpt from
http://store.innertraditions.com/isbn/978-0-89281-185-4 under the section entitled,
About The Knights Templar in the New World:
Here they found a safe refuge for the Grail--the holy bloodline connecting the House of David to the Merovingian Dynasty through the descendants of Jesus and Mary Magdalene--until the British exiled all the Acadians in 1755.
Perhaps you see the "non truth"... the part where it says that the British exiled "all" the Acadians in 1755!! We all know that many Acadians managed to escape to their Mi'kmaq friends and relatives... including my own ancestors. My heritage includes Acadian and Mi'kmaq... I'm not a half breed, butt definitely a mix. Many Acadians also fled into New Brunswick, hiding out in communities that the British didn't bother with. In fact, note these excerpt from wikipedia setting the record straight re
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadians:
- The Acadians (French: Acadiens, IPA: [akadjɛ̃]) are the descendants of the 17th-century French colonistswho settled in Acadia, many of whom are metis. [3]
- In the Great Expulsion (le Grand Dérangement), beginning in August 1755 under Lieutenant Governor Lawrence, approximately 11,500 Acadians (three-quarters of the Acadian population in Nova Scotia) were expelled
I can't find anything on the wikipedia page and nor in the section entitled "Flags" that mentions prominent Acadian Father Marcel-Francois Richard designing the Acadian flag, however this site re
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Acadia, does mentions it:
The flag of Acadia was adopted on August 15, 1884, at the Second Acadian National Convention held inMiscouche, Prince Edward Island, by nearly 5,000 Acadian delegates from across the Maritimes. It was designed by Father Marcel-Francois Richard, a priest from Saint-Louis-de-Kent, New Brunswick.
As a final, note these others from the list of Canadian Super Centenarians that stand out to me:
| 45 | Rose McDonald[8] | F | 5 September 1890 | 16 September 2000 | 110 years, 11 days | Nova Scotia | Nova Scotia |
| 21 | Evangeline Saulnier[8] | F | 11 September 1890 | 19 March 2002 | 111 years, 189 days | New Brunswick | New Brunswick |
