[edit] Queen Sophia of Spain

Queen Sophia is not a matrilineal descendant of Barbara of Celje, but of Anne de Foix. She is thus not presumably Haplogroup T, but presumably Haplogroup H. Anne de Foix is also matrilineal ancestress to Tsarina Alexandra. The line back goes Queen Sophia > Frederika of Hanover > Princess Victoria Luise of Prussia > Empress Augusta Victoria > Adelheid zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg > Feodore von Leiningen > Victoria von Sachsen-Coburg-Saalfeld > Auguste Karoline Reuss zu Ebersdorf > Karoline zu Erbach-Schönberg > Ferdinande zu Stolberg-Gedern > Christine von Mecklenburg-Güstrow > Magdalena von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp > Maria Elisabeth von Sachsen > Magdalena Sibylla von Hohenzollern > Maria-Eleonor von Kleve > Maria von Habsburg > Anna Jagiellonka > Anne de Foix.

[edit] George III's descent

George III of the United Kingdom > Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha > Magdalena August of Anhalt-Zerbst > Sophia of Sachsen-Weissenfels > Anna Maria of Mecklenburg-Schwerin > Anna Maria of Ostfriesland > Anna of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp > Christine of Hesse > Christine of Saxony > Barbara Jagiellonka > Elisabeth of Austria > Elisabeth II of Bohemia > Barbara of Celje [2] Satyadasa 21:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wow. LOL.

Someone must have been really insecure about the 'reduced sperm motility' factoid addition; because now the article is looking more like an article on how many children famous men have had! It seems a little out of place, "reduced motility" isn't saying "you can't knock someone up", heck, even implying that reduced motility means less of a chance of impregnating women is a logical jump that isn't here inferred and is a separate subject altogether. I think maybe a line should be added to the effect of (shows reduced sperm motility... that is not to imply reduced fertility) rather than this entire "curiosity" section about the number of children T mt group men have had. 67.5.158.240 12:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
