Those interested in this line should check out the article "The
Descendants of Theodora Comnena of Trebizond" by M. L. Bierbrier,
which appeared in the lates issue (vol. 11, pp. 232-54) of "The
Genealogist" (which arrived in my mailbox a week or so ago). 139
descendants are given in the first seven generations, with a "to be
continued" at the end which indicates that more is to come.
