You may make this Royal GEDCOM available available to whomever. As you know this is a work in process and have received suggestions, corrections and additions from all over the planet... some even who claim to be descended from Charlemange, himself!
The weakest part of the Royals is in the French and Spanish lines. I found that many of the French Kings had multiple mistresses whose descendants claimed noble titles, and the Throne itself in some cases. I have had the hardest time finding good published sources for French and Spanish Royalty.
If you do post it to a BBS or send it around, I would appreciate it if you'd append a message to the effect that I would welcome comments and suggestions and possible sources to improve the database.
Since the Royals had so many names and many titles it was difficult to "fill in the blanks" with their name. In the previous version, I included all their titles, names, monikers in the notes.
Thanks for your interest. Denis Reid
