Thanks Marc, didn`t know that.

Before Friedrich of Saxe-Altenburg the family was known as Saxe-Hildburghausen for four generations. Does anybody have any portraits of these earlier members of the family?

Do you have the genealogy of the Sachsen Hildburghausen? If you do would you please post it because I am not quite sure if the family members I post are from the Hildburghausen (Altenburg)  line? The line Sachsen Coburg Gotha was also named Sachsen Gotha Altenburg but I don`t know who is who from both lines.

Duke Ludwig Friedrich von Sachsen-Hildburghausen (1710–1759) Governor of the city of Nijmegen (the Netherlands) and burried in the St. Stephens church of Nijmegen

Friedrich lV of Sachsen Hildburghausen (thanks Marc for this one). But I am not sure wether this is one is an ancestor of the Sachsen Altenburg line or of the Sachsen Coburg Gotha line?

"thijs" asked for the genealogy of the Sachsen Hildburghausen?

Perhaps the following link may be of some help:
http://genroy.free.fr/

It is possible to go back to the start of the Ernestine Line (i.e. Ernst,  1441-1486) and then wok forward to the various sub divisions such as Sachsen Gotha Altenburg.

It may also be useful to have access to a book such as Louda's Line of Succession to help untangle the various sub divisions of the Ernestine branch of the Saxony family.

Therese Charlotte Luise von Sachsen-Hildburghausen later Sachsen Altenburg. She was known as Therese queen of Bavaria, born 8 Juli 1792 in Seidingstadt Jagdschloss died 26 Oktober 1854  München.

Thanks Allanraymond. I will try and dig it out. Looks complex these Sachsen familie ties.
