The project Collective long-term work, The Capetian Descent has been unflaggingly carrying on with their work. Their aim is to find all the descendants of Hugh Capet, king of France, whose lineage is still represented today.

Nine out of ten European are descendants of Charlemagne, probably a little fewer are descendants of Hugh Capet! This purely statistical statement is confirmed every day by the numerous recordings of new lineages with multiple ramifications in every social background.
