An estimable three-volume series provides pedigrees of descent from Charlemagne that can be proved without a doubt. In Volume I, the progeny of Royal Houses of Europe that trace back to Charlemagne are listed in chronological order under their respective Houses. Then, individual chapters list American families that link up with one or more royal lines, and pertinent facts are given for each member of the family--birth, marriage, children, connecting lines, station, distinctions, and honors. Volume II, is composed of more than seventy accepted lines of descent of living people from the Emperor Charlemagne. Each line is carefully documented, generation by generation, and has been verified and approved by Timothy F. Beard, Genealogist General of the Order of the Crown of Charlemagne. Each chapter is headed with the name of the immigrant ancestor through whom the descent is traced, followed by each family name in the line of descent in America. Volume III has over eighty-five lines of descent of living people from the Emperor Charlemagne. For the most part, the lines of descent have been taken from the lineage papers of members of the Order and they have been substantiated by the Genealogist General, Timothy Field Beard, the well-known author of How to Find Your Family Roots. Each section of the book is headed with the name of the immigrant ancestor through whom descent from Charlemagne is traced, followed by all family names in the line of descent in America. This makes the book an excellent guide for those seeking a Charlemagne connection in their own ancestry.
