French barons

Will the user who insists the barons de Longueuil are French kindly accept that there is no authority to resolve disputes about French titles, let alone anonymous users of Wikipedia, and that the 'Disputed succession' section on the baron de Longueuil article is the most generous way of accommodating his claims in a neutral fashion?GSTQ 04:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Truth will out.

Dear anonymous user, If truth will out, then it will out with or without your dubious editing skills. Wikipedia is about neutrality and accuracy. There are two sides to this argument, and the Queen of Canada for one appears to have come to a different conclusion from the one you have reached. The claim about succession to the title has no real place on Michael Grant's article; only on the 'baron de Longueuil' article. It is also customary not to delete previous entries on discussion pages. Moreover, since you appear to be not a native speaker of English, it might be advisable to be a little more circumspect when inserting sections into articles, for instance by adhering to the general flow of the article and by being consistent with the methods of capitalization and punctuation already present.GSTQ 04:22, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Context

So is this guy Canadian? NickelShoe 22:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC) He is a British passport holder, but with English, Scottish and French bloodlines. Of course, his antecedants were originally in Canada at a time when caucasians would not have called themselves Canadians.[reply]

Another question. Is this title a peerage in the UK (which is well defined), or outside this construct, but recognized by the Queen? 99.232.173.72 (talk) 06:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that the barony is a French colonial title recognized by the Queen of Canada. That's completely accurate. To legitimately bear a foreign title within a Commonwealth Realm, it must be recognized by the Crown. It isn't a UK peerage title. Is there a way we can state this that you think would be any clearer than the current statement? - Nunh-huh 07:07, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Residence

It would appear to be inaccurate to suggest that there is an existing manor house (property) held by the family. I am not sure where the original seigneury of the le Moyne family was located and if this was passed down to the present title holder. It appears doubtful. By the time that the female descendant married the scottish 'Grants' the family had moved to Kingston, Ontario. There they had a home which was destroyed by fire in the 1920s? I do not see that there is any merit to leaving the reference. It implies the Grants have some baronial hall hidden in Canada. Sic Transit 18:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
