Descendents of Emperor Agustin I


This document is based upon the genealogy presented by David G. Williamson in The Imperial House of Mexico, The House of Iturbide, by Mikos de Tarrodhaza, Amerlinck y Zirion and Williamson. Only changes in formatting have been made.

To keep generations straight and make clear who is the parent of whom, each blood relative of Agustin I is assigned a three-part number. The first part is a unique identifier. The second part indicates generations removed from Agustin. Thus, Agustin's father is -1 and Agustin's grandson is +2. The third part is the unique identifier of the individual's parent.

Please forward any additional information you might have to The Iturbide Circle.
