Kinship in an account 1
What this means
Parentage as a named source tells it. Not an independently established biological relationship, and different accounts disagree.
Does not imply marriage as a legal institution · exclusivity, or a single canonical pairing
Imported from Wikidata unless a tile says otherwise. Nothing here has been read by an editor.
Family 1
What this means
A documented human family relationship. Not a succession mechanism, and not religious transmission.
Does not imply a marriage · a shared religious affiliation

Transmission
Teachers and students
Teaching passed from one person to another, in the direction of the arrows — not ancestry, and not succession.
What this means
In the direction the records give it. This is not biological ancestry and it is not institutional succession: a student who inherited no office still received the teaching, and an heir who received the office may have been taught by someone else entirely. It does not imply that teacher and student agreed.

What the records tie them to
Founded, supported, associated with — as third parties recorded it.
What this means
A founding is an attribution, usually contested, and not a claim that the tradition began fully formed. Patronage is an act, not a belief: it says nothing about the religion of a population, and nothing about the patron’s own practice in every period of a life. Domains are as sources record them — for a saint, usually a patronage — rarely exclusive, and not the same in every account.

Connections
How Gambrinus connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Identification 3
What this means
One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.
Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification
