A WWW Data base of European nobility

With the the help of Leo v.d.Pas (English nobility), Marcin Dziedzic (Silesian nobility), Leon Endeman (South African genealogy, nobility of Germany, the former Austria-Hungary, the Netherlands, Nordic countries and British Isles). Note: The current (12th) version of the system was installed 1.5.2021. The current CD-version contains more! (See below) We have now 1216286 people online!(all internal numbers will change. use the proposed urls.) Especially the spanish part was extended remarkably!

In this data base persons of higher european nobility are stored with their data of life, biographs, portraits and coat of arms. It is accessible world wide.

Do you know of my system of coats of arms?! Note that the names come in the local language (french people in french, english people in english, etc.). German plays an important role yet (the biographs are german at present).

You can access the data base of persons in the following manner:

1. Using the name of the person/house/the family

2. using an index (time, name, country)

3. using a classification of the house (Kaiser/King/Elector/Archduke/Grand Duke/Duke/Prince/Count (Marquis, Land Count, Count of Empire, Castle Count etc.)
