ALMANACH DE BRUXELLES

Don your genealogy hat on before you take this ride. Almanach de Bruxelles presents 700 non-European families, with each relationship delineated in relational detail. For example, choose "T" and visit the Thailand information, where you'll find an outline of the rules of succession, various decorations and orders, and who is who in the Thai royal family. Information about family members is brief, but often includes college attended and who the royal married, as well as the names of offspring and dates of birth. The glossary gives researchers several useful tools, including an index of family names linked to location and an index of titles.
