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.
- {{OrderCharlemagne | N}} puts people in [[Category:Descendants of Charlemagne (Generation N)]]. We could have {{OrderCM | N}} which is shorter but less clear.
- {{SovCM | CYear}} puts people in [[Category:Ruling descendants of Charlemagne]] where C is the country code and year is the year of accession. Rtol 18:03, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Generation 2
CH's kids now all have pages and info pages -- the same cannot be said of Wikipedia. This also includes a count of the grandchildren: 24, 18 of which have a page already. Rtol 10:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Disputed descendants
Among the 23 grandchildren, 2 are disputed. They are singled out by the * in [[Category:Descendants of Charlemagne (Generation 2)|*]]. Rtol 10:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
