valuation: B

Online Review: Prebble's research is impeccable, but his writing is for the general reader, so the story matters more than the genealogical details.

Title: Krolewska Krew - in Polish -

Publisher:
ISBN: 83-7150-254-0

valuation: C+

Online Review: Very good, language is the only problem but much of this book makes much of Poland's early aristocracy accessible. Hope this will be translated. The part with ancestors of Duke Wenceslaus etc. is just a compilation with some
questionable links. Also, there are no sources quoted, only a bibliography.

valuation:  C

Online Review: Arms, bibliography, partial genealogies and ancestor-tables of extinct Bohemian families. There are some nasty errors, and frequent
inconsistencies.
