The Starr Family of America

Notes (per Stevens,http://www.gendex.com/users/jast/D0041/G0000004.html#I8981)
Athanagild and Leovigild were brothers of unknown ancestry, who accededto the throne of the Visgothic kingdom by election. Some late medievalgenealogies show them as sons of AMALARIC (RIN 2465*), but that isprobably wrong.

. "I was once interested in this matter because there are a few
Brazilian families who trace (according to Portuguese lineage books) tothe late Visigothic kings. So I wrote to H. Wolfram, and he answered meback - very kindly, in Spanish; Portuguese and Spanish are very close andmutually understandable - as follows:
. 1) Both the Amali (Amelunge), Theodoric's family, and the Balthi (thefirst Visigothic king's family) seem to be fully extinguished, or atleast of untraceable descendants.
. 2) Leowegild was most certainly a `new man' (homo nouus) and his nameis unrelated to those of earlier Balthi or Amali.
. So I think that it stops at him. It is far enough.
