American and European Descendants of Charlemagne - Volume 1 Ronald W Collins

Many families in North America and Europe are descended from the Emperor Charlemagne. Good record keeping of royal and noble families combined with modern genealogical databases now make it possible to trace many of today's families back for many centuries. This book does exactly that. It is not a history; it is a link-by-link genealogy connecting thousands of people alive today to this historic royal line. Requiring 800 pages, in two volumes this work traces nearly 1400 families from Charlemagne, 1st Holy Roman Emperor. In Volume one the first 31 generations of Charlemagne's descendants are traced. Volume two continues with generations 32 through 40. All of the families are listed in the introduction.
