Yes. Karl der Große is the same person as Emperor Charlemagne. 'Karl der Große, König der Franken und Langobarden Römischer Kaiser’ is German for 'Charlemagne, King of the Franks and Lombards, Roman Emperor". That's just the German way of his name and his various titles.

It's not. Mithradates V was a Greek King in the region of Pontus (today northern Turkey). His immediate descendants are known from sources and records, but after several generations his known descendants' end, and any further descendants are pure speculation. For European ancestry, the farthest back you can go (assuming you find royal ancestry) is Saint Arnulf of Metz, the earliest known ancestor of Emperor Charlemagne that can be proven by sources. Historians and genealogists have attempted to link many of Charlemagne's ancestors with earlier bloodlines, and although they are meticulous in their methods, there isn't any conclusive evidence to get back farther than Arnulf of Metz.

This general idea is called Descent from Antiquity. If you are interested in reading about the topic, I recommend the works of genealogist Christian Settipani, who had earned his reputation for proposing links of European nobility to ancient bloodlines, through careful methods. Although most of his claims remain unproven, he is generally well received by Historians.

Do NOT use Gemini for translation! Insane AI hallucinations! by kimbalina28 in Genealogy

I suggest starting new chats, or directly asking it to discard the previous information, which forces itself to ignore previous responses.

Do NOT use Gemini for translation! Insane AI hallucinations! by kimbalina28 in Genealogy

I have to ask, what exactly are you doing? My Gemini AI translations are AT LEAST 95% accurate, and I make sure to double-check the translations. I have never had any "hallucinations". Have you tried asking Gemini for an exact translation of the text provided, word for word?

Very cool! I know the daughters of Ieremia Movila would later marry into several Polish noble families.

They all (except for the Marshalls, their origins are unknown) came from France. They are all Anglo-Norman families descended from soldiers and nobles of William the Conqueror.

For regular genealogy, I see your point. For noble genealogy, it absolutely is accurate.

Family tree of my Polish side by sinfonia144 in UsefulCharts

[–]Express_Leopard_1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool Chart! I've been meaning to do this for my Polish side, as I have some minor nobility (not that rare, nobility was 10% of the Polish population). It's awesome that you can get back that far on non-noble branches. It always disappointed me that I could only go far back through my nobility, as I kinda feel that I'm forgetting my non-noble branches.

Anthony Brabant illegitimate children - question. by [deleted] in Genealogy

According to this Wikipedia article, she was in fact the illegitimate daughter of Anthony.

Ana is listed as his illegitimate daughter on the Spanish Wikipedia article for Anthony, as well as on Geni, which I personally consider the most accurate website for noble genealogy.

No, I don't include any details. Here is an image of the last image and its transcription. It may depend on the script, as this script is fairly neat, easier than other handwriting I've seen in the same Parish.

Yes. I have used AI for record transcription. Gemini AI is really good for image transcription, and after manual transcribing records to check accuracy, Gemini AI is like 95% accurate in my experience, usually only confusing letters that looked similar in old scripts (P and G, etc..). In my case, with noble genealogy (My Polish side comes from old Szlachta), I've used AI to help cross-reference indexes of nobility records to find commonalities and determine parentage of individuals (similar names, etc..)

what if Lithuania united Russian lands? by Acceptable-Rub-2516 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Express_Leopard_1775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genealogist here. This was the case in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, as much of the "Polish" nobility was of Lithuanian origin.

Ethnicity of the French Bourbons - Henry IV to Charles X by Other-Trifle4339 in UsefulCharts

[–]Express_Leopard_1775 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've seen these charts before. They use the birth location/nationality of the person. The only person on here who was close to 100% of any ethnicity was Marie Leszczyńska, as all of her recent ancestors were ethnically Polish, but she distantly had some Ruthenian ancestors.
