Hi
I'm new to this list and have been encouraged to approach you with my enquiry.
According to the Erlangen database maintained by Herbert von Stoyen
http://www8.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/html/ww-person.html
Georg Friedrich (1539-1603), son of Georg Markgraf v.Brandenburg-Ansbach (1484-1543), had no brothers, but 3 sisters + 2 half-sisters. Georg Friedrich was married twice, but had no children. This means, according to this, that the male line died with Goerg Friedrich.
I have been approached by a Norwegian, non genealogist, claiming that according to his "family records" a certain "Jurgen Georg von Ansbach" is "a brother" to Georg Friedrich who moved to Norway and married into a "gentry family" of which my informant is a decendant. A "Jurgen von Ansbach" is a documented very rich person, by Norwegian standards, in Norway who lived from ca 1520 - ca 1593. This Jurgen von Ansbach's ancestors have, so far not been found.
My questions are,
a) is there eg. a probate after Georg Markgraf v.Brandenburg-Ansbach (1484-1543) naming all his children, excluding any such claimed son?
b) can Georg Markgraf v.Brandenburg-Ansbach (1484-1543) have had any illigitemate son(s)?
c) can Georg Markgraf v.Brandenburg-Ansbach's (1484-1543) first wife Beatrix de Frangepan Contessa di Veglia (? - 1524) have had any illegitimate son or any son from her first marriage with Johann Corvin?
