Compilation of Royal Descent Resources

Question

I'm cleaning out my computer files and came across a list of resources I'd compiled for a client interested in pursuing his royal ancestry. I've posted that list here:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Researching_Royal_Descent

There may be another place on wikitree where such a list exists; if so, I'm happy to merge my data with that one. Or have the projects working on royalty adopt the page. And if it's pretty much a complete duplication of something that already exists, I'll also happily delete it.

Comments

Some of the things on that list are very unreliable and should be so marked.

The most important reasonably complete and still reasonably reliable web source is www.genealogics.org.

The list is also missing Richardson's "Royal Ancestry"

James, the page is open; please add commentary/critique to an of the items there.

Answer 1

Maybe we can add this to EuroAristo Resources?

Answer 2

Thank you Jillaine. I added this link to the Magna Carta research resources page.

Here is another list with the emphasis on those with French-Canadian ancestry going back to French royalty & nobility - http://habitant.org/tools/index.htm

Answer 4

Hi.
About Portuguese Nobles (they had conection with many houses of Europe by marriage) there is this treaty with 17 volumes written around 1800 and reedited in the 40's that verses about noble families from Portugal, some since 1300's. Thiese books are online at National Digital Library of Portugal. Can you include in your section of "Non British European Royal Descent? It would help the work of others researching Portuguese nobles, as helped me (I would love to see more people into it).  * GAIO, Felgueiras, 1750-1831
Nobiliário de famílias de Portugal / Felgueiras Gaio. - [Braga] : Agostinho de Azevedo Meirelles : Domingos de Araújo Affonso, 1938-1941 (Braga : : Pax). - 17 v. : il. ; 30 cm - http://purl.pt/12151/4/

And if I can improve to help more our wiktreers fellows on the subject, here are some other sources I consider fundamental to people that researches Portuguese nobles. 

One treaty on Heraldics of most of noble families from Portugal, talks about how are their coat of arms and the origin of it.:

* Afonso Eduardo Martins Zuquete, 1987 (3ª Ed.), ARMORIAL LUSITANO - Genealogia e Heráldica, Editorial Enciclopédia, Lda. Lisboa. 1987 (3ª Edição), 733 p. : il. ; 26 cm

And two other books related to noble families genealogies of Portugal in the region of Madeira Island (land that is owned from Portugal):

* FRUTUOSO, Gaspar, 1522-1591 - Saudades da terra : livro II / Doutor Gaspar Frutuoso ; [Palavras prévias de João Bernardo de Oliveira Rodrigues] - Nova ed. - Ponta Delgada : Instituto Cultural de Ponta Delgada, 1998.

* Noronha, Henrique Henriques de, Nobiliário genealógico das familias que passaram a viver a esta Ilha d'a Madeira depois de seu descobrimento no ano de 1420, 1700, Revista Genealógica Brasileira, São Paulo, Brasil, 1948 (reprint), 3 volumes.

I hope this be useful. 

Regards, Carlos.
