This paper discusses at length the ancestry of Philippe Amyot, husband of Anne Couvent. The purpose of this paper is, in the main, to answer the question of what Amyot family in France Philippe Amyot was a member, and of who the parents of Philippe Amyot were. Also, by showing all the original documents that show the descent of my family and me from Philippe Amyot, and particularly that of my uncle Robert Amiot, my mother’s brother, who has had his DNA tested and his Y-DNA haplogroup assigned by FamilyTree DNA, I have definitively established the Y-DNA haplogroup of Philippe Amyot.

Isaac Abulafia, my fourth great-grandfather, at the age of twelve, was a refugee of the infamous Damascus Affair, or Blood Libel, of 1840. This is the story of that tragedy, and of his escape from sinister men accusing the Damascene Jews of murder, and torturing them and kidnapping their children.
