The Guise
Family webpages are currently still being developed, as since 2011, information from many
sources has become available. Contact with
other members of the family has been very gratifying and exciting and has enabled much
information to come to light and has given immense insights into the nature of
the Guise-Fleuss family
An Introductory Comment to the Guise
and Related Families - 2015
A few years ago very little was known by the author
of the history of the Guise Family. The Danish connection was known
with the associated myth regarding the flight of the De Guise family from
France at the time of the French Revolution.
This myth has been debunked and a clear history is available thanks to the
work of the late Sarah Guise nee Loat who established the roots of the
Guise family originally Giese.

From the initial point of view, The Matriarch of the family was Vera
Guise, Mater, born a Fleuss and married to Jules Guise, son of Jules Carl
Guise.
Since the year 2010, archive material in the form of letters has come to
light, the internet has been a source of information and most
excitingly, because of the history website, a number of new relations have
communicated. The finding of new relations has now
been tinged with sadness due to the death in 2014 of Sarah Guise at a very
young age with cancer and, with cancer, the death of Ken Allen the
husband of Celia Allen related to the Guise Family through the Fleuss
connection via Vera Guise. The recent death of Yvonne Callow, Vera Guise's
older daughter, has signaled the end of an era.

There was a proud
myth within the family that it was related to the De Guise Family
who may have escaped
France to Denmark at the time of the French Revolution.
Research, thanks to Sarah Guise, now shows that the Guise name was introduced by the Danish family
Giese in the late 1800's, probably by Therese Caroline
Alexandrine Tourniaire, although the names were interchangeable for a while.
Therese's death was registered under the name of Giese.
However, information
from Dr.Paul Renan, a descendant of a De Guise who married a Dane, suggests that the
De Guise family may have fled successfully from France to Denmark in
1812.
