The House of Orange-Nassau: An Overview

[Marengo]

Below an overview of the family tree of the house of Nssau/Orange-Nassau. Any extra information is welcome, as this were the only members I was able to find. I would be very much oblidged if somebody could give me more information about the offspring of count Jan VII of Nassau-Dillenburg as I haven't been able to provide a complete overview of the branches that started with him (Nassau-Hadamar, Nassau-Siegen, Nassau-Dillenburg and Nassau-Dietz). Extra information about the 'early' Nassau's (before Johan V of Nassau-Dietz) would be appreciated too.

This overview was created with the help of several websites that contain information on the dynastic history of the House of Orange-Nassau. I have written down the names in the Dutch style. also those of German members of the family.
