Forum:Charlemagne's descendants

Excellent project. Has anyone else done it apart from Fred's contact (now suffering ill health)?

Best discussed here rather than spread around user talk pages, I suggest, because a growing number of us will be interested.

I see there's a need for renumbering because someone has discovered a shorter line. Solution to that would have been (and minimising future renumberings would be) to get all of his children sorted, then all of his grandchildren, and so on, and anyone coming off a longer line would be obvious because they would already have the smaller gen number.

Remember the short line from Geo III to Geo VI. I think the error-prone Ancestry.com tends to use the royal line instead.

It is indeed best to work from the early generations onwards, but the current ones are what attacts attention! I'm afraid we'll need a bot to occassionally renumber generations as more lines appear.

Note that there are two templates.
 * 1)  puts people in  . We could have  which is shorter but less clear.
 * 2)  puts people in  where C is the country code and year is the year of accession. Rtol 18:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
