History:

Louis Albert Jules Jean Baptiste Grevet, born on April 13, 1897, in Gouy-Saint-André, Pas-de-Calais, France, stood at 1.58 meters (In the early 20th century, the average height for French men was approximately 167.5 centimeters -about 5 feet 6 inches-, while for women, it was around 157.5 centimeters -approximately 5 feet 2 inches-. These figures are estimations based on available data and represent averages during that time period) with chestnut hair, brown eyes, and a colored complexion—described as "ruddy, florid" rather than specifically tanned or sunburned. He pursued various occupations, starting as a plowman at the age of 20 in 1917 and later working as a farm laborer and cultivation supervisor.

Having attained a basic level of education (degree 3, capable of reading, writing, and counting), Grevet's diverse military career included administrative services at the headquarters of the 20th section of the secretariat in 1919. He served in multiple regiments, such as the 1st Regiment of Zouaves, the 126th Regiment of Infantry, the 2nd Engineer Regiment, the 20th Engineer Section, the 6th Motorized Supply Train, the 9th Engineer Regiment, the 4th Engineer Regiment, the 1st Engineer Regiment, the 3rd Engineer Regiment, and again the 1st Engineer Regiment.

However, Grevet faced significant challenges as he sustained severe injuries that impacted his ability to serve fully in the army. He suffered from a longstanding condition in his right ear, a perforation of the eardrums, and near-total deafness. These auditory injuries were serious enough to classify him as unfit for active duty, limiting his capacity to perform certain military tasks and eventually leading to his reassignment to the reserves.

His journey, marked by a variety of occupations, military services, and the enduring impact of significant injuries, reflects his commitment, versatility, and resilience throughout his life. Louis Albert Jules Jean Baptiste Grevet, with a basic education level, showcased significant adaptability in his military career, despite the challenges posed by his injuries.

The genealogical information suggests that the parents of Louis Albert Jules Jean Baptiste Grevet were sixth and seventh-degree cousins, implying a probable DNA sharing of approximately 0.22625%, according to ChatGPT's estimations.

Regarding the parents of Louis's father, who were fourth and fifth-degree cousins:
Based on the shared information and by combining the percentage of DNA shared between fourth-degree cousins (approximately 1.56%) and fifth-degree cousins (approximately 0.195%), one could estimate that Louis's paternal grandparents likely shared around 1.755% of DNA.

On Louis's father's side (who is the brother of one of my ancestors):
For the paternal grandparents (François GREVET x Josèphe GREVET) of Louis's father, this equates to approximately 12.5% shared DNA between these first cousins.

For the maternal grandparents of Louis's father, this corresponds to 0.195% shared DNA.

These genetic data add an interesting dimension to the understanding of Louis Albert Jules Jean Baptiste Grevet's pedigree, highlighting familial connections at various degrees of kinship.

Thanks. Nordid without blond and blues eyes (father > chesnut hair with greys eyes and mother > blues)?

Interesting how drastically phenotypes have changed among the ethnic French throughout the last 100 years. Back then, the Alpine component was highly dominant (as racial anthropologists have said multiple times), now it's the Kelto-Med mix that is the most characteristic. People's faces have simply become longer, maybe that's the cause...

The phenotypes that were once assimilated to the old bourgeoisie and the nobility and not at all to the proletarian/middle class/poor environment, such as the slender face and the "Greek" nose, have now passed into current generations who have this phenotype ( with nuances) while their ancestors don't had it

However, sometimes we inherit certain traits from our ancestors in a more "slender" version; this can happen.

I can say that the people living in his hometown no longer have his traits at all, even though it's a small village of 600 inhabitants. Phenotypically, he is not really "typical" or predominant anymore, even though his phenotype was widely predominant in this village and generally in many areas of France. It's in this sense that being "typical" is quite relative to the generation to which you belong. Phenotypes were more robust in certain areas, although they could be less "long-faced," and people were generally smaller too.

In my opinion, the natural phenotypic evolution within a local population of a small village is sometimes overestimated. We imagine multiple scenarios of population replacement or mixing, but sometimes it's something else.

In my family, I must be the only individual who truly resembles him (more than my father, although my father shares more DNA with him than I do).

Alpinid + CM (Could be what they call berid, Alpinid + CM)...

It's not all about blonde blue eye makeup, you may not present them or not present them at all and make the duvet look good.

Alpinid

Alpinid

Thanks.

Oh ok.

[Bat_]

Alpinid.

[Flashball]

Alpinid.

Yeah, was common before.

Alpinid + CM (Could be what they call berid, Alpinid + CM)...

So called "berid" look uber north african to my eyes, and this guy look uber 19th to early 20th century french.
I don't see any "berid".

I live surrounded by North Africans and many look like the Berber/sub-Saharan so-called Berid, unlike my cousin who has a caricatural face of an older generation Frenchman, plus their nose is very non-European, like the guy so-called "berid" who has a concave, almost African nose.

[dakota775]

Alpine + dinaric with some nordic influence
I can't get what's his cephalic index, but i guess it's brachycephalic
By the way, he reminds me josef mengele who was classified as Dinarid (i learned it from documentary about Nazi torturers I've watched 2 years ago)
No offense, it just came to my mind

berid is not northafrican type, berid is sardinian or called paleo-sardinian, it is common in iberia and france. A berid is alpinid-med + some cm To me this guy fits the description with his features and pigmentation

[Mortimer]

I would guess this guy as corsican or sardinian, in a french context.

I'm not antifascist, so i don't care.
Josef Mengele looks very french to my eyes, yeah relatively close.

He could be brachy, yeah.

I guess you know better, you're French after all :d

Great looking man,not like modern ridiculous,alpine plus some progressive, don't see the eyes colour

Thanks.

His eyes are described as brown ("marron") on his military service register and her sister had light eyes though.
His father is described as having gray-brown eyes on his military service register.
His mother appears to have light eyes (hazel or blue, or variant)
