A record counts once even if it names several members (37 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 card with a dotted outline marks a doubt: either on the link to its parent, which the sources have not demonstrated, or on its identity, which the sources have not established yet. The exact level is given on their page.
