|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gilbert Grandval | 1947 – 1955 | 8 years | ending not on record |
1 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1947 – 1955. Only 8 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
