Question of Facts

Two things strike me as anomalous about this page, firstly, that the first source is a geocities page of dubious veracity, and secondly, that the last male heir is alleged to have died. Is there a citation for this? I know of at least two lines of this name, one of which is blood and one of which is not; this article, however, would label both as impostors. Is there a source for the end of the Helfenstein line? Arkeides (talk) 02:23, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the questions, they got me looking at the info again. The source of the name is from a less reliable source, but there's pretty limited info on the Helfensteins out there. Looking into it I found a more plausible source of the name and have included it. As for the end of the male heirs, both external links seem to support that the ruling line died out, though if you look at the genelogy, there seem to have been some additional Helfensteins that never took the noble title. In the 24th Generation 175. Count Schweikhart HELFENSTEIN1 is mentioned as a possible ancestor to some modern Helfenstein lines. Tobyc75 (talk) 20:46, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
