Dear James,

You inspired me to have another look. But it starts with a negative.

Dracula's son Mihnea the Angry married twice, had two sons by his first wife
and that daughter who married Bogdan III by the second wife. Bogdan III's
son Stefan IV, according to ES was fathered by mistress Stanka/Stana not by
the granddaughter of Dracula. But this Stefan married a Bassaraba, member of
Dracula's family. I am looking further and if I find anything that indicates
lines to the present I will let you know.
Leo
