Well, it is not to lead at ATL work per se for NOW, but I bet it could be usefull... Not sure where it belonged though - may be before 1900 in some cases, or Non Political Chat, so... move as needed.

I was wondering now and then about some dynasties of old in various countries, that made history... Many faded in history... but, it is? totaly? Is there distant modern descendants for some lines?

The most talked case around is for the last byzantine dynasty... possibly remaining in the Romanov line, or a british girl who died in 17th century, whom nearly nothing is known about.

And others? In my mind, I was thinking of eastern dynasties specially, like Qing (Pu Yi had a descant(s), or relatives?), Ming (anyone could claim the title?)... Or in the complex case of Japan, the 'Court Nobles' (Yamato line of the Emperor and others), and the Feudal lords (like Shoguns)... Are the Fujiwara who ruled effectively from Emperors still alive by example; does the Tokugawa shogunal clan have modern descendants?

Any ancient noble lines still more or less 'alive', or surviving in some ways?
