Donald Lines Jacobus (1883-1970), the "Founder of Scientific
Genealogy in America" wrote an article in The American Genealogist (TAG)
9:13-15 entitled "The House of Rurik." I quote: "To correct the many
errors that have appeared in print, and to aid those who follow the pastime
of tracing "royal ancestry," the following condensed account of the early
Rurikides is here printed. It is based in large part on "Genealogies et
Mariages Occidentaux des Rurikides Russes du Xe au XIIIe Siecle," published
at Rome in 1927 as Vol. IX, No. 1, of *Orientalia Christiana.* The author,
N. de Baumgarten, is probably the best Undisclosed authority on early Russian
history, and every statement made on the fourteen genealogical tables of
his monograph is fully supported by the citation of contemporary documents
and chronicles."

I am not attacking Jacobus, who is a giant among genealogists and
certainly needs no defenders. Neither am I disagreeing with Alexander
Agamov, in Moscow, who has pointed out that there is no credible evidence
that Rurik was ever "Prince of Kiev" and progenitor of the line beginning
with Igor, Grand Prince of Kiev, who married Olga. I hope Alexander Agamov
is reading this. Some historians and genealogists, Russians in particular,
have taken sharp issue with the theory that the Kievan Rus was founded by
a "Dane" rather than a "Slav"----and the evidence for "The Varangian
Theory" seems fragmentary and inconclusive, at best.

G. Andrews Moriarty and Walter L. Sheppard in TAG 28:91-95 also
quote the N. de Baumgarten material as authoritative [specifically
"Orientalia Christiana, No. 119, N. de Baumgarten, "Aux Origines de la
Russie," p. 79. Both Jacobus and Moriarty/Sheppard headline their charts
with "Rurik (d. 879) Grand Prince of Kiev." Jacobus probably did not read
10th to 13th century Russian. But--- some of us may.

For anyone who might conceivably have access to the original, 1927,
N. de Baumgarten source---is it provable that, "every statement made on the
fourteen genealogical tables of his monograph is fully supported by the
citation of contemporary documents and chronicles?"

Or, is it possible that Jacobus and the other experts simply
trusted in N. de Baumgarten's scholarship and professionalism---and did not
really check out the facts themselves. The Editor of a journal, such as
TAG, certainly cannot check out every fact and document himself. But, in
this particular case, Jacobus gives the N. de Baumgarten material his
personal imprimatur, as cited above [TAG 9:13, Paragraph 2]

So----has N. de Baumgarten in his "Orientalia Christiana"---dealing
with "The House of Rurik"---been totally discredited by subsequent rigorous
scholarship---or does his judgment still seem credible to some serious
scholars----or are there alternate explanations?

This is an intriguing question of interest to many folks who are
descended from Anne of Kiev (c. 1024-c.1066) [Anna Yaroslavna] who married
Henry I, King of France.

Yaroslav married Ingigerd (Anna) Olafsdottir, Of Sweden between Feb 1018 and 1019 in Uppsala, Sweden.
