Descendants of Charlemagne
I've completed the OoC refs - at the end of each affected line - for everybody currently shown on the HP as a descendant of Charlemagne. Anyone keen on getting some more (or replacement!) reliable lines from KdG could work his or her way up from Henry or down from Charlemagne, ensuring that FP has a page for every individual who has an "OoC" except that, where a spouse has a lower number, that individual and his or her ancestors can be ignored for the time being. The Henry Project for each individual lists children, not just the Henry-line children; so on our way up or down those lines we can create pages for the siblings of Henry's ancestors, or link to them if we recognize that they already have pages. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:55, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Other individuals that The Henry Project has but that we do not have
Once we've finished the exciting ones that give us more reliable lines from KdG, we can do all the others. If we start at Henry's end again, each new individual will improve the /tree subpage of descendants. But someone keen on strengthening lines from Scottish Kings may start with Fergus on Generation 24. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:55, June 30, 2010 (UTC)

Individuals that we have but that The Henry Project does not have
Our links to their children could be disputed. So the children's Orders of Charlemagne could be fictitious.

Working up from Henry, record what HP says about each individual whose parents are not what we give them and whether "our" other learned study (Medieval Lands) supports our parentage links.

If our only support is from a one-person compilation that's not strong on sources, and EITHER: we should:
 * one of the serious studies (not contradicted by the other) says that that parent is unlikely; OR
 * neither of the two serious studies mentions that person as a possible parent,
 * 1) cut the connexion and explain why
 * 2) put that child in the "Disputed descendants" list on Project Charlemagne if we currently give it an Order of Charlemagne. (Clear as mud?)

If in doubt, someone can put the question to the collective wisdom of soc.gen.medieval.— Robin Patterson (Talk) 13:55, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
