French Revolution

[Elle C.]

I lived during the time period of the revolution. I actually have a strong memory of the life: was born in a rural area around Arras (weirdly important in my life later) to a third estate family of 3 girls, one son who died in infancy. My parents were somewhat progressive for the time, girls were treated as important as sons. I was the middle child. Our neighbors were second estate, and we were all friends with their children: two oldest girls, two boys, one girl. Eventually I became a tailor for women, a job I do in this life, and trained in Orleans and eventually took over a shop in Paris.

I did not survive the great terror, but I was not killed by it.

Anyone else live in this time? Many things happening now are really bringing memories to the surface.

Hi Elle,

I have nothing specific in terms of memories, but believe that I was around and affected by the revolution. We have a few "royals" on the board who can be located fairly easily using the search function, but unfortunately, too few ordinary folks. I much prefer the latter as the viewpoint they have of events is much more relevant and interesting to me. Plus, it is harder to find. The history books are full of accounts by or about famous people. I like to get the lost perspective of the other 99% or so.

Cordially,
S&S

PS--I also agree on the similarities.

Not entirely sure I have a past life during that Era but do have an interest in the fashion of the Era which is kind of weird because I'm not really that much into fashion even though I'm a woman.

I believe I may have died in Paris in the summer of 1792. That would be just before the revolution really got bad.

I once got a flash of having been an orphan girl at that time, maybe 5 years old, later a prostitute, died from Tuberculosis or something like that in a cold winter

I might have lived during the times of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, but not in France. I have a memory of telling another person about a visit to France and to the French royal court that I made, but unfortunately I have no memory of the visit itself. At that time I was around 50 years old, I would guess, and female. But the memory didn't tell me if Louis XVI was already king at that time or still the Dauphin maybe.

No idea, if I lived during the revolution. In the early 19th century I was already in another life as a young male in yet another country.

I have several studies on my page of persons from the French Revolution. Here is one https://4dforum.org/case-study-35/ (Marquis de Sade). It is difficult to connect a person to distant past lives. It's much easier to find the links between each lifetime. That doesn't mean it isn't possible you were in France during that time. You were definitely somewhere during that time.
