Published: 1910-1940, 1998

Title: Histoire genealogique de la maison de
Bethune
Author: Andre Duchesne 1584-1640
Published: 1639, Paris
Rating: C
Online Review: Thorough treatment of the Bethune family and its
relatives. For his Stammtafeln VII 57-61 Schwennicke cites this as a source.
Some details are
still interesting.
Title: Histoire des rois, ducs et comtes de
Bourgogne
Author: Andre Duchesne 1584-1640
Published: 1619 Paris
Rating: A
Online Review: Andre Duchesne was the father of scholarly genealogy
in France and had an impact on the development on this field across Western
Europe. He
was one of the first to take great care to cite his sources. His work
on the great feudal families is rare and not yet microfilmed. However,
this work is somewhat dated.

Published: 1906
Rating: C
Online Review: An album with ancestor tables; no surprises here.
Title: Les Cahiers de Saint Louis -30 volumes-
Author: Jacques Dupont, Jacques Saillot
Published: 1976
Rating: B
Online Review: Another doomed attempt to record all descendants
of medieval king Louis IX of France. It was fun while it lasted. There
is, alas, no general index. The project came to a halt soon after the untimely
death of Abbe Dupont. It is a pity, this could have gone very far.

Published: 1929 Wilno, reprint 1986, Warszawa
Rating: A
Online Review: Genealogies of families of Polish nobility of
Tartar origin, mostly maintaining the Islamic faith. Sound scholarly work
based on primary sources. A
dozen or so loose-leaved genealogical tables come with the book.
