Consequently,
Extraordinary family tree unveiled evolène:
A genealogical tree with unique dimensions was released Sunday afternoon in Evolène (VS). Meanwhile, Measuring 10 meters wide for 2 meters high. Consequently, it retraces the origin of the Val d’Hérens families to their common ancestor, more than 230,000 years ago.
This scientific achievement made it possible to highlight a presence of the Walser branch prior to established knowledge. For example, more generally a rich genetic diversity.
This didactic. In addition, interactive tree incorporates QR codes to go up the lines of each family to the common ancestor, the genetic Adam. This tree will be visible until Sunday, August 24.
83 families listed
Led by the genealogists Charles-Albert Beytrison. Hervé Mayoraz, this phylogenetic tree is the fruit of several years of research in various archives completed by 173 DNA-Y tests, to lead to an exhaustive genetic base of the Val d’Hérens. ‘At extraordinary family tree unveiled evolène the beginning. part of the population was reluctant, but then she was convinced after being explained to her the whole approach,’ sums up Hervé Mayoraz.
Thus. for the first time in the alpine environment, all the male lines of a valley are documented, revealing that nearly a third of the 83 Hérensardes de Souche (28 in total) shares a Walser ancestry resulting from a Haut-Valaisanne migration. This is particularly the case for the livestock or the fachère.
This ancestry is anterior almost 200 years old to the officially known migration having started in 1403. We are rather around the beginning of the 13th century, or about 800 years ago.
In nearly 150 localities
The Walsers designate a community of mountain peasants from Haut-Valais. which have left their region to settle in around 150 localities in the Alpine space, especially in Grisons, Tyrol or the Val d’Hérens.
Their migration responded to extraordinary family tree unveiled evolène economic and stately logics. Their lifestyle, centered on farming and an autonomous alpine economy, has permanently marked local landscapes and traditions.
The realization of the Val d’Hérens family tree arouses growing interest elsewhere in Valais. Several regions such as the Trient valley, Nendaz, Isrables, Liddes or Saint-Léonard have already collected various data.
