Descended from American colonial pioneers, Christine's ancestors can be traced all the way to Queen Boudicca, the Queen of the Icenians in ancient Briton who lost the uprising against the Romans, giving the Romans rule of the British island. Related to the Kings and Queens of England, as well as the ancient kings of Siluria, Frankia, Sweden and Europe, her ancestors include Alse/Alice Young who was burned at the stake as a witch in colonial Connecticut. Today, she has been exonerated thanks to modern historians. Although all 65 generations cannot be portrayed in this book (which is limited to 800 pages,) you can view them on Ancestry.com as the "Paquin Family Tree".
