Early Life

"Irina was daughter of the Rayevski family, who were one of the heirs of the famed Grigori Potemkin (1739–1791), Prince of Tauria, descending from the childless Prince's sister Maria Alexandrowna Potemkina (1726–1774)."

How can anyone descend from someone who was childless? 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:8831:6A5B:1F86:95C6 (talk) 02:44, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
