An updated and greatly expanded version of Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der
Europaischen Staaten, by Wilhelm Karl Prinz von Isenburg (2v., 1936-37 +2 additional vols. published by 1975), which was a highly regardedresource to begin with. Schwennicke requires little or no facility inGerman because of its heavy reliance on standard abbreviations andsymbols. The volumes are oversized and the tables are methodical andlogically organized. The author concerns himself mostly with Germanfamilies, of course, but laps over into all corners of the Continent. Themost recent volume –– more are presumably coming –– even includes thefamily of Jacques Coeur, a commoner and self-made tycoon who becameinvestments counselor and finally chief minister to Louis XI of France. Abasic reference tool.

The Europäische Stammtafeln is a collection of genealogical tables for
important families that played a role in European history. Manygenealogists researching Medieval noble, royal, and imperial familiesfind it a valuable reference tool. Due to it being a German work, manyEnglish-speaking genealogists are either unaware of it, have been unableto find a copy of it, or shy away from it due to the language issue. Mynotes on the Europäische Stammtafeln are offered here to help you workwith this useful well-done set of family trees.The full citation for this work is:

[European Family Trees: FamilyTrees for the History of European States, New Series.] First series byWilhelm Karl, Prinz zu Isenburg, continued second series by Frank, BaronFreytag von Loringhoven. 16 vols. Marburg, Germany: Verlag von J. A.Stargardt , 1978-1995.|
However, this complex citation actually over simplifies this work that
has been published in four distinct series. The above citation refers tothe third series, which is the set most people using it are familiarwith. The newest, forth, series is entitled Eurpäische Stammtafeln: NeueFolge and Detlev Schwennicke is the sole author. This forth seriesstarted with vol. 17 and is now being published at Frankfurt am Main,Germany, by Verlag Vittorio Klostermann. According to the publisher, thethird series "is no longer valid" (Baumann 1988a). Schwennicke is now inthe process of updating, improving, and reissuing the first volumes forthe new forth series.|
Please note that some people abbreviate the Europäische Stammtafeln as ES

The set is organized into the following volumes:
Vol. 1, Die Deutschen Staaten: Die Stammesherzöge, die weltlichen
Kurfürsten, die Kaiserlichen, Königlichen und Grossherzoglichen Familien,Aus dem NachlaÏ von Frank Baron Freytag von Loringhoven heraugegeben vonDetlev Schwennicke. [The German States: The Ducal Families, Holy RomanElectors, Imperial, Royal and Grand Ducal Families, From the Estate ofBaron Freytag von Loringhoven, Edited by Detlev Schwennicke], 1980, 159tables. There is no documentation or corrections section! Documentationis missing from this volume because Schwennicke was simply republishingwhat had been left behind in Loringhoven's estate (Baumann 1998a; Bodine1997a). Most of the modern tables end in 1918. A handful of lines arecontinued to the twentieth century using a format similar to the NewEngland Historic Genealogical Society registry style.New Release of Volume 1 This volume is currently being re-released in
multiple parts in the new forth series. The Winter 1999/2000 catalog fromVittorio Klostermann indicates that there are now two published parts tothe new release of vol. 1. According to Baumann (1998a): Schwennickecompletely reconceived Isenburg's old volume I of 1935 and Volume I leftin Loringhoven's estate in 1980. Instead of using either of them, herelied on historical literature and archival sources for his new conceptof volume I.
