The Family of Cingis Can per the Tartar Relation

Modern scholarship shows that some of the relationships noted in the Tartar Relation are in error. In most cases, these errors are noted in footnotes in Skelton, Marsden, & Painter. As I locate such notes, I'm adding them as footnotes to the family chart below.

For each individual in the list below, the forms found in the Tartar Relation are listed in bold, while the modern forms follow in parenthesis. Notes are to the right.
