Legend and Advice

by John P. DuLong, Ph.D.

Please be patient, this is a large file, due to the table of abbreviations, and will take a few minutes to load. Each volume of Schwennicke's Europische Stammtafeln (1978-1995) has an introductory "Legend and Advice for the Use of the Genealogical Tables." This is a key to the symbols and abbreviations used. Instructions for using this work are also included. This web page attempts to translate this information. The abbreviations key grows with every volume. I have selected for the basis of my translation the symbols, 392 abbreviations, and instructions for use found in vol. 14. I will add other abbreviations as I become aware of them. To translate these words I have relied mostly on Thode's excellent German-English Genealogical Dictionary (1992). When his dictionary fails me I have used several other works (AltaVista 1998; Family History Library 1991; Sasse, Horne, and Dixon 1986). A special thanks must go to Sabine Baumann, of Verlag Vittorio Klostermann, who has helped me with the translation of many of the abbreviations (Baumann 1988a, 1988b). Lastly, I have also imposed on the kindness of my German-speaking co-worker, Mariluise "Lisa" Voros, whom I thank for her help. The following topics are covered on this web page: Symbols Instructions for Use Example Family Tree Abbreviations Online Index

Symbols
The genealogical tables in Europische Stammtafeln rely on several symbols as shorthand indicators of vital events. The following table translates these symbols.

(Bauman 1998c)] illegitimate connection

Instructions for Use

From my reading of the "Legend and Advice for the Use of the Genealogical Tables," the invaluable comments of Bodine (1997c, 1998) and Borthwick (1997), and my own observations gathered from using Europische Stammtafeln, I believe that the instructions for use are as follows: When known place names usually proceed dates. Dates are represented thus 24.XI 1754 for 24 November 1754. Often only the year is known. Slashes separating elements of a date mean that there is a conflict in the sources. For example, 22/25.VII 1637, means that the event took place between 22 and 25 July 1637. Slashes between years is also used to indicate when a person flourished or was known to hold a piece of land or title. For instance, if you see 1182/1204 after a person's name, then this means they were observed in the sources as living in both of these years. The evidence for this life span is often derived from them coming into tenure of a piece of land or a title.

http://www.habitant.org/tools/eskey.htm

A dash between two dates, as in 1396-1415, would indicate more certainty about a person's life span. In the case of a date recorded as 1689-1724/1728, it means that the earlier date before the slash is firm, but the later date indicates when the tenure on the piece of land finally ended. Dates like these examples, "11.III . or . X. 1753", include a raised dot. This is used to indicate that part of a date is not known. It is used to make sure the reader understand that it is missing and not a mistake. In the first example, it means that the event took place on 11 March, but the year is unknown, not just missing. In the second example, the event took place in October 1753, but the exact day is not known. When the marriage contract date is shown in parentheses preceded by the symbol of two linked circles, the date is a betrothal or a marriage contract. This date is not to be equated with the date of the marriage ceremony. The actual date of the marriage might be days, months, or even years away. When a date appears in parentheses after a symbol for birth or death it indicates that this is an approximation of the date. The approximation is usually based on the person's probable age at the investiture of land or a title. The word "um" is used to indicate around, like the use of the Latin circa. It is used when there is even less certainty about an estimated date, for example, with assumed marriage dates. If two dates appear adjacent to one another and the second date is in parenthesis, as in 13. IV 1236 (8.IX 1257), then this probably means that the first date is more likely, but the second date is mentioned because some source suggests it. The date in the parenthesis is possible, but less likely. Each table displays a descending family tree for a particular family. Generations are kept on separate levels usually with a line just above each generation. For each individual there is a block of data including names, vital events, lands and titles, marriages, names of spouses, names of fathers-in-law, etc. The genealogical symbol normally appears before the the place and date of an event. However, when the symbol is shown after the date, this indicates that the concerned event occurred already by that date. Married couples are separated in their data by a semicolon. Additional marriages for a mate are shown in parenthesis. Connections between generations are show either by vertical lines or a rising point on the horizontal generation line beneath the parent. A Roman numeral is assigned to each marriage of a person. On the top of the line for the next generation level is shown that marriage Roman numeral for the children of the corresponding marriage listed under the line. When the Roman numeral changes on a line, it means that the children under it and to the left descend from that marriage. Dashed lines indicate that a relationship is uncertain. Surnames are underlined to facilitate looking up families on other tables. For wives, their father is usually named. The mother is only named if the wife's family does not have its own table. The main family of interest on a table has its surname in all capital letters. The main line of descent for a title in a family is easy to trace because the given names and surname well all be in capital letters. Alternatives spellings or interpretations appear in parentheses, for example Epirus (Epeiros). A bolded number with dashes, for example, -89-, is used to indicate that you should consult the table with that number to find a person's ancestors or descendants.

Be prepared for some puzzling variations and exceptions to the use of these rules.

Example Family Tree

To get a better idea of what a Europische Stammtafeln family tree looks like, and to give you a change to try out the information on this page, I am including an example here. This example is for the Coucy family, made famous by Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror (1978). Like the format of the original pages, this example is very wide. This example come from vol. 7, table 82. Just click on the following Stammtafel button to see the full page.

Abbreviations
In order to condense the data for couples on the genealogical tables the information is heavily abbreviated. For many readers, this can pose a problem. In a system like this it is necessary to become familiar with a few of the abbreviations to comfortably read the information. Because these abbreviations are for German words, this becomes even more challenging for English readers. Even with the German abbreviations translated, you will still need a good GermanEnglish dictionary for the occasional full words you will encounter. Three question marks in a row (???) indicate that I am either unsure of my translation, or I have no idea at all about the meaning. Please feel free to help me resolve these outstanding translation problems. A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W XYZ

Online Index
Vittorio Klostermann, the current publisher of the Europische Stammtafeln, provides an online index to the families appearing in vols. 1 through 18. This index covers just the main subjects of a table, not the spouses mentioned on a table. This is index is located at:

http://www.habitant.org/tools/eskey.htm

http://www.klostermann.de/stamm/schw_reg.htm For example, I went to the section on surnames starting with the letter C and looked up the surname Craon. I found the following entries: Craon, btard de III/719 Craon, btard de (Nevers) III/720, 722 Craon, Dame de (Vitr) III/719 Craon, Sire de III/719 Craon, Sire de (Nevers) III/719-722 The Roman numeral is the volume number and the Arabic numeral is the table number. Note that this online index only covers the families with tables. Many other families are mentioned in passing on the tables, for example, the family of a spouse not followed in another table. Each volume has an index organized by surname, including surnames of spouses. In some of the earlier volumes all surnames mentioned are indexed. An underlined surname in these earlier volumes indicates that there is a table for that particular family in the volume. I believe that later volumes only index the families covered in the tables. Vols. 13 and 14 have global indexes. Other volumes printed beyond vol. 14 might also have indexes.
