Do we have any primary sources that place Burchard I von Thuringia as the son of Théodéric of the Franks

Alex Moes I ask because per https://www.geni.com/projects/Testing-for-Fake-Medieval-and-Ancient-Lines/48078, "There are no proven descents from the Merovingians."

and this line and below is creating one.

My 40th and 39 th grt grandfathers.
More mythical / legendary ancestry

Link to me via van Broeckhuysen
Van Broeckhuysen family line ended 1887 no recognised descendants .
So that also not supported

Ds Matthys Gerhardus Müller created a lot of these links through un verfiable sources.

cf Burchard III von Thuringia

& Burkhard von Thuringia, Duke of Thuringia
for whom http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/THURINGIA.htm# has KONRAD, son of [UDO Graf im Lahngau [Konradiner] & his wife Judith [Welf] im Linzgau] as father & grandfather.

The connection to the Merovingians was only introduced 3 months ago by this merge https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=80740453490

I have undone the merge. Please edit/add to these profiles to improve their quality.

Trying to recover the page linked in the About of these profiles I came across this interesting announcement:

So the tree should probably stop at Burkhard von Thuringia, Duke of Thuringia and two of his sons are also highly suspect.

The “history professor” Heinar Schilling (through whose “research results” I had tied myself to the nobility) was a con man!

Interesting

That merge explains it. Thanks for spotting. I'll do that.

I've cut Ricbert von Thuringia & Walbert von Thuringia free, as per above.

well, FMGMedlands also states that Burkhard's wife is unknown; whereas Geni has Aldred von Loingau listed.

Since you're all following Medlands as the definitive source, you will probably have to detach her.

Burchard IV im Graf Grabfeldgau is my 30th great grandfather.

I disconnected Aldred von Loingau
