This is about our (large) family tree, which I have collected from various
sources on the Internet.
Me and my wife can sum up a surprisingly large
number of ancestors and relatives (180 088 as of 2026-05-19).
All relations are somewhere claimed to be true.
I haven't made anything up.
But there are many ambiguities and perhaps inaccuracies.
In cases where the sources are incompatible, I believe
the majority (if it is possible).
Unfortunately, some errors may have been multiplied online.
The result is what I might call a best guess.
Possible, maybe even probable, but not certain to be true.
It is virtually impossible to find the exact truth.
I did this because it's fun.
Not to claim inheritance rights to anything.
Therefore, it doesn't matter too much if there are some small errors.
I can also mention that the percentage of DNA from an ancestor
10 generations away is 0.097%,
and 20 generations away 0.000095%.
So even if I am related to Attila, we are not very similar.
My family tree can mainly be found on
Ancestry,
but also (older) on
MyHeritage,
Geneanet,
Find my past,
and partly on
FamilySearch
,
and (after 1600) on
Geni
.
(Let me know if something should be changed.)
I started with MyHeritage, and iterated between Gramps and MyHeritage
to clean up errors.
When MyHeritage got stuck, I used Ancestry to get further.
However, Ancestry is a bit indiscriminate when adding things,
and has no facilites for control,
so I brought the results back to MyHeritage.
And kept iterating with Gramps.
As of 2024 I stopped using MyHeritage. Too expensive.
