It is useful to have entries on families which consistently appear in the history of their countries. The fact that there may be separate entries on individual members of the family does not obviate the need for an entry on the family as a whole. This is particularly true of German families, where the Junker system ensured that the same families cropped up over and over again in history. It is an important social fact that a historical personage came from a family of other historical personages, and there is nothing wrong with an entry which provides extra information about some of his or her less famous relations.
