Pedigrees of Some of the Emperor Charlemagne's DescendantsPedigrees of Some of the Emperor Charlemagne's Descendants. Volume II. With a Foreword by Timothy F. Beard. Aileen Lewers Langston and J. Orton Buck. (1974), 2002, softcover, Index, cviii + 408 pp.
This work, originally published in 1974, more than
thirty years after the appearance of Volume I, 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. This
work also contains a chapter on "Charlemagne and His
Children," by Prof. J. A. Cabannis, and a lengthy
survey of contemporary genealogical scholarship by
Timothy Beard.
