Your information seems to be accurate back to Adhelheid, mother of Robert the Strong. At that point there seems to be some convolution of information. Irmigardis, daughter of Ingram is shown as mother or Adheleid. However, Ingram was Charlemagne's father-in-law, and Ermengard (Irmgard, Irmigardis) was Charlemagne's wife. I have no record at all of Charlemagne ever having a son named Ingram (although, admittedly, I don't know who all his children are yet...he reputedly had 24 or 25 of them !! ) I wonder if you could give me a reference for where you got your information.
Second, I show Ansbertus (Ausbertus) as the father of St. Arnulf of Metz. I think "Arnoldus" may be an interpolation of Arnulf as his own father.
Third, I have Dagobert, father of Chlodius (Cladius I) as the son of Walter. You have Genebald and Dagobert interpolated there. Could you give me a ref for that, too.
Just curious....in your pedigree, you have "Arphared" following Noah and preceding Sham (Shem). I have never heard or seen this name before. According to Genesis, Noah had three sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth. My understanding is that Shem is the eponymous ancestor of the Semites. Can you enlighten me ??

Joe,
I have looked at your home page & found it very interesting, as I would also like to establish a database back to Adam. My link is believed to be through the Duke of Berry (1686 - 1714 - child of Louis de France = Mary Anne of Bavaria m. 1680) - I have yet to prove the link back to him.
What I havn't managed so far is to find any on line GEDCOM files for this line (I have a few generations of French Kings, then come to a dead end). I've also only been able to find text files of biblical genealogy.
Are your GEDCOM files available for download anywhere? I had a look around your site, and all I could find were database access forms to them.

My source:
25.Dardanus (Darda) md Batea (Batea Asia) Princess

Subject: Geneology
Dear Joe,
Hello! My name is Christopher Olson and I have run across your page while doing my own research. I appreciated having your outline to compare against as I researched my own tree. I do have some points to mention, though.
1) Item 27 identifies "Jlos Mar. Eurydike." I have found in several old souces the marriage of Ilus to Eurydice. I know this is a small difference, but thought you might be interested.
2) Your page shows a blank line-space between Items 26 and 27. Although maybe unitentional, I have several source that indicate Ilus's father was Tros (the person who changed his city's name to Troy, from his Grandfather's naming of Dardania -- his grandfather being Dardanus who married Batia, daughter of Teucer). Tros was Erichthonius's son. This generation is missing from your listed lineage.
3) I have taken my lineage back to Dardanus (Tecucer via marriage to Batia, his daughter). However, my sources to date either fail to indicate who his parents were or list them as Zeus and Electra, daughter of Atlas. Well, I'ld have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick before adding Zeus to my family tree; I would have a hard time keeping a straight face when showing it to others. So, I have to ask how you got from DARDA, son of Zarah and grandson of Judah (from the Bible) to DARDANUS (from other ancient sources)? I would like to believe them to be one-in-the same; however, I need documentation. My biblical sources do not identify any children of Darda to overlap my lineages built back to Dardanus, and my souces for Dardanus are obviously not going to overlap with any Bible I'm familiar with. Your assistance and information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Christopher Olson

where is it documented!!
can you not follow the links I've provided?
the whole genealogy is on-line!
just click on the people's names!

hi,
i think there's still some misunderstanding.
the thing about Hadwig marrying Hugh the Great of Neustria
is that it blows up your descent from Charlemagne.
have another look at my page - I've revised the note.

sure - go ahead.
though you can see I'm not a fan of Descents from Adam!
they simply aren't history.
anyway, about the historical bit of your descent,
I'm not sure if you got my message a few days ago.
You have Hadwig marrying the wrong Hugh the Great.
see links.html
You can still get a descent from Charlemagne though.
Just go to links.html and click on
Hugh the Great of Vermandois and Rohese
and follow their parents upwards.

Subject: your Descent from Adam page
Hi there,
Came across your Descent from Adam page.
You're wrong about who Hadwig
(dau of Henry I the Fowler, Holy Roman Emperor)
married - full details including hyperlinks
are on my page:
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mh10006/FamTree/
You can still get a descent from Rohese
(dau of Henry I of England) to Charlemagne though.
Just click on her name on my page and follow
the links upwards.
Beyond Charlemagne I'm afraid your tree
isn't properly substantiated.
It's possible that someday we'll get a substantiated line
back to classical times, but we don't have one yet.
And obviously we'll never have a descent from Adam
since no such character ever existed.
You may not like what I say about
"Descents from Adam" on my page.
Anyway, good luck with the historical parts of it!

Having read The Holy Blood and The Holy Grail, I find this list
facinating - but there is just not enough to satiate!
Is the any more info on how this list was complied?
How do you make the link between Dagobert II and Genebald, Duke of
East Frank?
Very interesting though.

Subject: very interested
Your site presents me with two questions. First, where does your
geneology branch off from the kings of Israel, Saul, David, etc.?
And secondly, do you have data on the knights Templar, who played a
part in bringing Christianity's home base to France?

I found your page to be very interesting. We share the same
ancient
ancestry, but where your line continues through Neowig after Clodion in
448,
I am descended through another son, named Sigmerius. I was wondering if
their
are any references on the Cimmerian people. If so please respond and I
would
be very appreciative.

I'm very sorry I did not respond sooner, but the last few weeks of this school thing are just killing me.. Anyway, my aunt does alot of this geneology work on my mother's side. (being that she's her sister.) She got back to Clodius II with her research, and I felt the urge (it was a complete and utter impulse) to look him up and see what he was about. Anyway, when I did a Webcrawler search through America Online, your Webpage came up. I was very excited. I created my own Webpage about it, and if you wish to see exactly how I can trace it, it's at http://members.aol.com/bigfluffe/a2a.html (The numbering is a bit jumbled, but that's okay)
It turns out that our lines split after Dagobert, Duke of Franks (317). He apparently had two sons, Clodomir V (Your line) and Genebald (mine). Interestingly enough, our lines cross again at Ausbertus / Ausbert (520-570), and continue on together until Charlemagne, who had two sons. Louis De Debonaire, King of the Franks, whose line your tree follows, and his bastard son, Hugo, the Holy Roman Emperor, from which my lineage sprung.
Well, I hope this has been somewhat informative, and I hope to hear from
you again. And yes, please send me the information you have... I think my
aunt would find it very fascinating. Thanks again!

Hello, Joe.
I am a teenager from New York, and was researching my geneology. The farthest back I could go was to Clodius II, so I went online to research him, and found your page. Thank you so much! God Bless
