Book Description

With entries for 1200 families packed into over a thousand pages, Almanach de Gotha 2000: I takes the internationally-known little red book into a fourth century of production. Even those who do not know what the Almanach de Gotha is, know what it stands for. Restored in 1998 after an absence of fifty-six years, the Almanach has been published annually since then, as it was each year from 1763 to 1944, continuing to chronicle the genealogical and biographical detail of every living member of every ruling and formerly ruling royal and princely house in Europe. It is a fascinating work of reference, contemporary (almost half the member states of the EU have a reigning dynasty at their head) and historical, with family and state histories for every house from the mighty Habsburg and Romanovs to tiny Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glucksburg.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT REFERENCE.......2003-02-23

Having started researching royal genealogy over 25 years ago I am delighted. An excellent
and well researched reference work. This is a titan piece, and while some data such as the
occasional place of civil marriages may not have been available to the editors, the tens of
thousands of items of data, including in-laws names, addresses etc make this the most
complete reference work of its kind. This is the only book I have found on the market that has
all the members of all the royal and princely families listed in one place.

1 out of 5 stars Errors, Errors and more Errors..........2002-10-16

Having researched in this field for 20 years, I found this work amazingly bad, and full of errors. I have so little confidence in this work that I value it as virtully worthless as a research tool.

I can not imagine what the editor was thinking when he allowed this product to go to print . . .

Save your money!
