I recently discovered this page which shows the genealogy of some of Europe's obscure (to me) families plus Queen Victoria's descendants, King Christian IX's family etc there is also amongst all this some of the subjects of this group who have married into these families. Lots to be discovered i am sure & i have only just started.

Hi Patricia - Hein's is a very useful resource if you are interested in European royalty and nobility and their interconnections. Hein is one of the main contributors to nobiliana.de. Unfortunately you won't find all the descendants of Queen Victoria listed there.  Many of the descents from Queen Victoria's children can be found there if you know where to look ie the Empress Frederick's descendants can be found under "Descendants of German Emperor Wilhelm I" and the descendants of Edward VII can be found under "Descendants of King Christian IX of Denmark" (ie via Queen Alexandra).

I did prepare a note of where to find which line of descendants of Queen Victoria  - it can be found in this thread  Website for a List of All of Queen Victoria's Descendants? (google.com) which also contains other useful info.

If they are still in print Marlene Eilers Koenig's book on Queen Victoria's descendants and its later supplement are useful and informative starting points but a lot has happened since the supplement was published!  Royal Musings (royalmusingsblogspotcom.blogspot.com)

Thank you Colin for the information, very useful.I know where to look without having to look into every family. As for Marlene Eilers Koenig books, that has reminded me that i have two of her books somewhere, must look for them. I became interested in Victorian History at school in the 1960's and since them have been trying to connect Queen Victoria's descendants since then and the time and research is so time consuming, so your info will be very helpful.
