Attila the Hun is my 50th great grandfather - really ?

Attilas son Ernak https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernak doesn't appear to have had any children

Can you fix ?

1. Chaba (Chola) Prince of the HUNS was born ABT 470 in Hungary, and died AFT 530 in Scythia Minor (NW of Black Sea). He was the son of 2. Ernak King of HUNS.

Child of Chaba (Chola) Prince of the HUNS is:

i. Edus (Elus) Chief of the MAGYAR was born ABT 502 in Scythia Minor (NW of Black Sea), and died AFT 560 in Dentumogeria, Central Asia.

the Hunnic Chola dynasty invaded India which looks like where the name Chola comes from

Chola History
The origins of the Chola Dynasty are lost to history. The kingdom is mentioned, however, in early Tamil literature, and on one of the Pillars of Ashoka (273 - 232 BCE).

I don’t see that Ernak had issue. ?

e. Dengizec, King of Huns [12] 457-469, the father of Oulibus (d469)

f. Sengilac, the father of Sunigila (daughter), wife of Odovacar, aTeutonic chieftain, conquered the Roman Empire & became King of Italy476-493

k. Bel-Kermek (475), father of Djurash "Masgut" (498/499), father ofTatra (Baltavar) (550s), father of Boyan-Chelbir (d590), father ofTubdjak, King of Magna-Bulgaria (620), father of (a) Bu-Yurgan (Organas)& (b) Alburi (d632), father of Kubrat, 1st King of Bulgaria 632-651[note: Kubrat is called the "son" of Organus in one source, and calledhis "nephew" in another source, as the son of his brother, Alburi]

Ellak, King of Huns [10] 453-456 [possibly the father of Aella ofSussex & Alesa of Wessex]

↑ what absolute rubbish

From https://www.genealogieonline.nl/en/demmers-harmeijer-extended-famil...

Below are several versions (all of which are probably "legendary" & unproven) of a descent from Attila the Hun, I personally prefer the 1st one by David Hughes.

David Hughes, in a post to SGM, 18 Feb 2003, gives three different descents from Attilla the Hun (the Tsars of Bulgaria, The Kings of Hungary, and Charlemagne); all three are "rumoured" to have descents, according to several postings on SGM, but David gives the most reasonable-seeming full descents (unfortunately David does not indicate his sources, caveat emptor):

"Attila's many children and relatives are known by name and some even by deeds, but soon valid genealogical sources all but dried up, and there seems to be no verifiable way to trace Attila's descendants."

According to the Nominalia of the Bulgarian khans, a ruler named Irnik was a leader of the Bulgars for 150 years and his reign began approximately in 453 AD. Some historians consider Ernakh and Irnik to have been the same person.
According to Procopius and the Utigur khan Sandilch, Ernakh had two sons:
"one called Utigur and another called Kutrigur. After their father's death they shared the power and gave their names to the subjected peoples, so that even nowadays some of them are called Utigurs and the others - Kutrigurs." [1]
In 486 and 488 Ernakh led the Bulgars as allies of Byzantium (and later as allies of the Gepids) against the Goths of Theodoric, but was defeated.

(This is from an ancestry tree somewhere citing an earlier Wikipedia page than current)

i detached all the nonsense and left him with his 3 kids by Kraka.

two other children mentioned in Nibelungenlied saga

This is probably the easiest to cut and paste from.

I don’t think the posters on soc gen med believe the connections. Especially the one back 102 gens in China

Csaba, {Mythological}

mythology?

https://ztevetevans.wordpress.com/tag/prince-csaba/

When the Attila, the great leader of the Huns died an untimely death the tribes that made up the Hun nation found themselves at war with the Germanic tribes of the empire as fierce battles were fought to decide the future leadership of the empire. Attila had many wives from many different tribes and races and he had fathered many sons. Although everyone expected one of his sons to rule the question was which one?

After much conflict and the shedding of much blood two main contenders emerged: Aladár, whose mother had been a princess from a powerful German tribe and Csaba whose mother was the daughter of the emperor of Greece. .....

Justin where is Attilas ancestry recorded? Jordanes?

souce of this legend?
There is also a medieval legend of a lineage that makes Attila the sixth-generation ancestor of Árpád conqueror of the modern Pannonian basin, through Attila's son Csaba, his son Ed, his son Ügyek, his son Előd, his son Álmos. Álmos was ruler of the Magyars and the father of Arpad
