| King George I To ensure the British Throne would remain in the hands of Protestants, Parliament passed the Act of Settlement in 1705 who banned any Catholic or anyone married to a Catholic from succeeding to the Throne. The poeple who have any claim to the Throne was later limited to the descendants of the Electress Sophia of Hanover, a granddaughter of King James I who was the next Protestant heiress after Queen Anne. As fate would have it Anne outlived Sophia by 2 weeks so the Throne then passed to Sophia's eldest son, King George I. |
| The Descendants of King George I of Great Britain compiled by Daniel A. Willis This was a book I published in 2002 which sought to list all descendants of King George to the present day. Of course it was outdated before it even came off of the presses since there continue to be births, marriages and deaths, among the thousands of descendants on nearly a daily basis. Now that the book has ceased publication, I am slowly putting all that detail available on the internet. Once done it will allow me to keep updating the information as news comes to me regarding the descendants. There are a couple of caveats: some of these descendants overlap my already existing website of the descendants of Empress Maria Theresia. In these cases, you will be linked to those pages rather than having to update the info in two locations. Also, those people who are descended from Emperor Nicholas I of Russia will not be included here. I am in the process of writing a book for publication about he Romanov family with an emphasis on their present day lives. I will slug my way through getting the George I descendants on line as quickly as I am able, I do expect it to take me a few months, so please be patient and feel free to check back often. If you see any errors or ommisions, please let me know: dan@dan-willis.com Thanks and enjoy! Dan |
