Families covered: Early Counts/Dukes of Julich
| (1) Information on this family was first uploaded into this database in 2002 using 2 pages, 'Julich1' for information sourced from 'Royal Genealogies' (abbreviated below to 'ROYL') and 'Julich2' for information sourced from 'GenEU'. The pages were entered separately to serve as examples of how different sources gave conflicting information, although it was made clear that GenEU was viewed as more reliable than ROYL. In 2004 it was decided that this complication was not only unnecessary but also potentially confusing so, on 03.11.04, the earlier pages were combined into this one. As can be seen, there are several areas of significant difference between the 2 sources. We generally follow GenEU and highlight where information coming from ROYL is not supported by GenEU. (2) 'Royal Genealogies' (ROYL) starts with the following Gerhard but GenEU starts 2 generations later so, combined with other matters, they differ on the numberings. Where they differ we show the numbering used by GenEU first and that used by ROYL second. Cross-references from other pages may use either number. |
