    Ok, how would you folks like to see this. You have two options, one that is very labor intensive for me and one that is not so labor intensive.

    Option 1: not so labor intensive.

    Notable desendants of Sigge Fridulfsson 1st king of Scandinavia, also known as Odin or Woden semi-legendary king (Most royal lines claim descent from him.)

    Hugh Capet King of France: Born abt Jan 940/941
    Adalbert I King of Italy: Born 947
    William I "The Conqueror" King of England: Born 14 oct 1027
    Saint Vladimir "The Great" Grand Duke of Kiev: Born 955
    Alfred "The Great" King of Kent, Mercia and Wessex: born 806

    That was just a quick list of very notable desendants (if I were to list all royal and noble desendants it would take many pages)

    Option 2: Very labor intensive

    Harald I "Haarfagri" King of Norway (m)
    Regneide (Rogneda) of Polotsk (f)
    Jaroslav (Yaroslav) "The Great" Grand Duke of Kiev (m)
    Anna (Agnesa) Yaroslavna of Kiev (f)
    Phillip I "The Fair" King of France (m)

    As you can see option 2 can give you alot more information by putting down every person in the direct lineage. (of course (m) stands for male and (f) female).

    Now what I can do for you folks is take requests for certain people or kings of certain countries and the spit out a lineage for them back to the vikings (if it even goes back to them).

    So how would we like to handle this? Also How low on the levels of nobility would you like me to go. I have everything from Earls to Viscounts. Just let me know what you would like to see.

    Also if any of you have access to a genealogy program I can send you a GED file with more information in it than I could ever put on these Forums. I can send it to you on request. Just send a privte message with your e-mail address.

    Well, with all that said I will sit back and wait to hear what you want to see.

    Regnar
