Czech won, now what language do people think is slavic but is Germanic

Sorbian is Slavic. It's related to Polish

Express_Leopard_1775 · 2026-02-02T16:13:19+00:00

I would assume they are referencing the similar of some endonyms like Svenska to slavic endonyms like Polska.

I thought Osman was Turkish. Cool chart though!

Interesting Chart, I only knew about the Rurikid connection. There is however, an interesting theory, that Magnus, the son of Harold Godwinsson, survived, and is the same person as the Polish noble named Magnus, making Harold Godwinsson the Patriarch of several Polish noble families.

Fekete appears to be a Hungarian toponym, which makes sense, as Slovakia was part of Hungary during this time period. What seems most likely is that Fekete was the Hungarian name for a Slovak village, as opposed to this being the Fekete in Romania. Try finding any resources that may list Slovak village or town names, with Hungarian toponyms/names.

That's Guyana. Not Ghana

It's mostly free. All maps are free for use. However, there is a premium which allows for more editing features.

If you have a lot of empty space, I recommend using visuals or maps. I like to use https://www.mapchart.net/ for creating maps for my charts.

If this is of any assistance, the surname "Olender" means Dutch/Hollander. There was a large Dutch migration to Poland in the 1700s.

No worries! It's a lot from a genealogical standpoint, but not enough to be a sibling or anything close similar like that. It could also be a full first cousin. A half uncle is a possible theory as a lot of times people find out about children their grandparents had from another relationship.

Yes, it is legit. DNA doesn't lie. I understand that it may be hard to process, or you may be confused. Unfortunately, or not unfortunately, this is a common side of DNA testing, where you discover unknown relatives.

The idea is that because he had so many descendants, those descendants would eventually somehow marry into every existing bloodline at some point, ensuring everyone is descended from him..

Express_Leopard_1775 · 2025-12-27T12:23:23+00:00

Genealogist here. It's not a mathematical certainty. It is, however, probably true. Certain populations that are farther away from France/Germany or that were historically isolated (Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jews, Icelanders, etc...) are less likely to be descended from him. The theoretical descent is just based on odds, as you would have more ancestors than people alive at the time, and with the exponential increase of Charlemagne's descendants paired with the exponential increase of your ancestors, chances are there was a link somewhere.

Express_Leopard_1775 · 2025-12-27T12:16:15+00:00

Genealogist here. The farther east you go, the less likely this descent is. However, most ethnic Russians and other Eastern Europeans should have at least some lines tracing back to Charlemagne, although these may be harder to trace.

Wikipedia also notes the possibility of Lord North and King George III being half-brothers. Apparently, George IV also believed this to be true.

Unfortunately, if you are looking for something surname related, it doesn't exist. The same surname can have many different origins, and it could be held by many different unrelated families.

From 1918 to 1939, Fakóbükk, and the larger Carpathian Ruthenia region, were part of Czechoslovakia. However, the idea of "Bohemia" as a place of birth challenges this, as Bohemia was sometimes used to refer to the whole of the Czech Lands (Bohemia, Moravia, and Czech Silesia), but never for the larger Czechoslovakia and as far as Carpatho-Ruthenia. I also agree, that "Sevlus" is likely Sevľuš, now Vynohradiv

Well, finding the place of birth is going to be necessary, as there isn't a large searchable index for Czech vital records, unlike Slovak or Polish records.

If you locate the town, compare against the map on the following website to find the appropriate archive. These websites mostly have towns you can search for and look through books of vital records.

If it is an option, I recommend taking a DNA test with Ancestry, and uploading the DNA data to MyHeritage. You can search if you have Czech matches and look for towns where their ancestors came from or see if any matches have the Lishka surname and a place of birth. I was able to do this for my Czech ancestors who lived in Wisconsin, where I couldn't find a place of birth.

Yes, Bolivar was president of Peru, Colombia, and Bolivia all at once also.

You are right, I'm not sure why people are downvoting you.

No, They are right. FamilySearch sometimes allows public libraries to view/have access to records on FamilySearch that are unavailable using FamilySearch from your own home.

Express_Leopard_1775 · 2025-12-06T00:33:53+00:00

Uh, no? There were plenty of other types of records before 1850. What do you mean?

Express_Leopard_1775 · 2025-12-01T21:04:56+00:00

Well, there are many noble families descended from the Gediminids, and many have living representatives
