Those aren't children under the women's names, are they?
Francois Maxime (gorgeous!) couldn't have had 20 children. I realize that in the past many children didn't survive and so a list of children can appear larger than what we would assume it is today. But still. 20 pregnancies? I'm going with the interpretation that the names under the women are HER ancestors. Whew! (Your posts are blowing my brain's computer chips.)
The names are as gorgeous today as ever.
Henriette and
Francois Maxime are my favorites. Did someone really name a child
Louis Napoleon?
A stellar list of names to draw upon. You are very lucky.
