Thank you for fixing this. My link was from a list of noble families, you had to scroll down to chapter 4, then to Edzard, then to Johan, where it quotes a document on the marriage of Johan and Dorothea, which declared her to be a "natural daughter" of emperor Maximilian- i.e. illegitimate, but nothing about who the mother was. But all this is not needed to disprove, when only looking at birth and death dates(wikipedia): Dorothea was born in 1516 and Anne of Brittany died in 1514. This leads me to question how attributions are made on Geni- this doesn't look like the genealogical "gold standard" was applied in this case. Another question I ask is WHY are there SO few primary and historic documents posted under sources or media? Whoever at Geni is responsible for the standards should be requiring attributions by "volunteer" curators to demonstrate proof, at the very least some degree of double checking- like birth & death dates, and basic history. The general public can be forgiven, but not curators.
