Scope rules bar the link between this family and this event: no record places it there, at the time and place the event is attested. A silence, not a gap.
A record counts once even if it names several members (41 mentions).
The generations shown are deduced from the filiations stated in the records, never read as-is from a single source. Each "Child of" link carries its certainty level and links back to the record that establishes it.
The sex sign is shown where a source states it, or where the role recorded by the act carries it in the word itself (mother, wife, godfather). Anywhere else, the page shows nothing rather than a guessed value.
Where the registers do not date a person, we state the century in which they lived, deduced from the dates of their relatives. A century shown on its own is a deduction, a year is a datum from the register.
What this level means
- ✓ Demonstrated, attested by a record
- ≈ Probable, converging evidence
- ? Plausible, open hypothesis
A solid line means a published source states this filiation. A diamond after a name marks a link the sources have not demonstrated; its exact level is given on the person page.
