Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, 23rd Prime Minister of Canada - Irish ancestry of Justin Trudeau

Private User,

Here's the info copied out of the second link:

Through his mother, Margaret Sinclair, he is a direct descendant of the Bernard family from Co Cork.

In 1661 Francis Bernard married Mary Freake and had a large family consisting of six daughters and two sons.

Francis died in 1689 defending Castlemahon against a Jacobite attack in the Williamite Wars.

Prime Minister Trudeau is descended from their younger son, Arthur Bernard, who was High Sheriff of Cork in 1697 and MP for Bandon from 1713-14.

In 1695 Arthur Bernard married Anne Power, of Mount Eglantine, Co Waterford.

The Powers and their relatives the Boyles were very involved in the intellectual milieu (elite) of late 17th and early 18th Century Ireland.

Arthur and Anne also had a large family, ten daughters and four sons, including Trudeau’s great (x6) grandfather Francis Bernard (their third son).

Francis got his degree from Trinity College in 1729, but as a younger son had to carve out a career as he would never inherit land.

He relocated to England. His grandson’s generation relocated to Singapore and Malaysia, which was then part of the colonial Indian ‘station.’

They remained there for a century, until 1906 when the Bernards emigrated to Canada.

Yes, that's the second link. But the first is where I suspect the meat is. Is there anything in there that's missing from the tree?

Private User,

Same information in both.

Here's the link to his mother Margaret Trudeau Kemper (Sinclair).

I'm also fixing the tree where it is clearly obvious to me.

Here's the link to the current top of her Bernard tree: Francis James Bernard.

George J. Homs,

Are you able to go any further back on Francis James Bernard's tree?

Hello - I would love to connect with you both - my Nana was a sister to (Doris) Kathleen (Bernard) Sinclair "Bubbles", and resided in Victoria B.C.. Her name was Maude Nelson. I have been in touch with John Purvis in England in working to establish some greater family history. You are probably already aware, but he has quite a bit of information on the Purvis family tree on Geni:) I am very new to this and have a lot of bits and pieces but love joining in!
