Christian Settipani (born 31 January 1961) is the Technical Director of an IT company in Paris and a genealogist and historian (D.E.A. at the Sorbonne University).

Settipani specialises in the ancestry of early Middle Ages people and earlier. He is a source for genealogists who work in the field of Descent from antiquity (DFA). His own work draws on that of professional genealogists such as Prince Cyril Toumanoff and Sir Anthony Wagner.

Settipani is associated with CNRS, the National Centre for Scientific Research in Paris[citation needed] and is co-founder and general editor with Katharine S. B. Keats-Rohan (FRHistS) of the publication series of the Unit for Prosopographical Research at Oxford University. Keats-Rohan is regarded as the "godmother" of modern prosopographical and network analysis research,[citation needed] which has become highly computer-dependent.

[edit] Publications

The earlier works were originally published by Éditions Francis Christian (no link with the author) in French, although some nonofficial English translations have been produced. Later works have been released via other publishers.
