Research Notes
Research Notes 04 Oct 2019
2019 Oct Source-a-Thon
The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy has a chapter dedicated to the Vandals and Visigoths in Spain[3] that is highly informative but which clearly states that it lacks primary sources to back the family trees it is referring to. The male figures have been located in other places, not so the principal women, such as Flora (wife of Godigisel), Elisa (wife of his son, Gunderic) and Eurica (wife of his grandson, Gelimer).
The three women appear in WT without sources in Oct 2019; the FMG source has been added to them in the 2019 Oct S-a-T. Note that where the "Category: European Aristocrats, Unsourced" was used before, it has been replaced with the "EuroAristo Sticker", but other activities needed in the profiles have not been carried out at this time. Eight profiles were located, two for Flora, three for Elisa and three for Eurica, that should be merged. This will be addressed after the 2019 Oct S-a-T.
Eurica Goths'
Eurica was the wife of Gelimer and daughter of Athaulf or Adulphus, Ataulphus, Adolphus, King of the Goths in Spain.[3] She also appears with similar information in Royaume Europe, with a birth date of abt 440. [4]
The three duplicated files for her are given below:

Reviewing old pending items today, I've come across a merge I requested for Goths-5, Eurica. Profiles The_West_Goths-1 and UNKNOWN-14333 were to be merged into Goths-5, which I see has been done, however, Of_the_Vandals-2, was not removed from Goths-5 as requested initially. According to The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (with the limitations imposed by an absence of primary sources, see http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/VANDALS,%20SUEVI,%20VISIGOTHS.htm), her husband was Gelimer, Vandals-52, correctly linked to her. The name of Gento's wife is unknown, although they had four sons (two appear in WT).
