Genevieve de Montremare told the world she’d been born into the Rochechouart family, one of the oldest noble families in France that dates back to the 1800s.
She said she was educated at some of the finest European schools, earning a medical degree and a doctorate in genetics. In the early 1990s, de Montremare made her presence known in Fresno, California.
In 1991, she married Dr. Michael Weilert, a pathologist and managing partner of a medical lab in the area.
The couple had a daughter and eventually settled on a 15-acre property, where they had a barn filled with a very expensive and rare breed of horses called Friesians. She became a fixture in the tight-knit Friesian scene.
“She was a legend amongst the Friesian community. She was a geneticist. She was revolutionizing for Friesians in America. You were star struck,” Katelyn Sweigart, a Friesian breeder, told “20/20.”
Cheryl Skigin and her husband Brian Gwartz had a lifelong love of horses, including Friesians, and Skigin said she was eager to chat with de Montremare.

A good Democrat(?)....lots of fraud. Did she vote after she was “dead”??
Well, I guess I've been masquerading as an Elevenrh century Spanish knight for the past 18 years, so I won't be too harsh...
That's what passes for an old noble family in France? There are families in England that can trace their titles back to the Norman Conquest.
forget about voting after youre dead...anyone can do that...
Do you plan to ride a horse and win a decisive battle against the Moslems after youre dead ???
:)
Uhh..France is a lot older than that. Got to be much older families than that.
I actually knew people who were born in the 1800s!
about the time of the Norman conquest (1066) one of my French noble ancestors was fighting in the Crusades..
Obviously not. L’ancien regime is pre-1800s. There must also be families with medieval roots.
Most people these days are wholly ignorant of the history of last year, let alone last millennium . . .
Interesting story. Some people are so twisted.
Well, the late 1700s weren't too kind to the really old families in France.
Anyone ignorant enough to believe that statement probably deserves to be taken to the cleaners.
I’m no detective but I think the RV quality faux-walnut paneling that adorns her living room might be a clue here....
Not guilty.
Sorry, wrong thread.
Considering what they did to the nobles in the 1790s, yes.
I was thinking 70s mobile home.

That crappy paneling was the first thing I noticed, too.
In France that family would be parvenus.
Well, she was Royalty. The article said she was awarded the prestigious title and crown of Raisin Queen by the National Raisin Council.
