The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise indicated below. Sources relating to the Harcourt family were published by La Roque in the 17th century[2277]. The work is disappointing and compares unfavourably to similar studies, for instance, by Duchesne. Many of the documents in the "Preuves", at least for the earlier generations of the family, are manuscript transcriptions for which source references are not provided. They are in most cases undated, but from the style and language many appear to be from the 16th and early 17th centuries. La Roque includes long lists of children which he attributes to the heads of the family in the 12th and 13th centuries, but the names are uncorroborated by source material and have not been included in the reconstruction which is shown below. The branch of the family which settled in England is virtually ignored.

The charter dated 13 Jan 1103, under which “Philippus de Braosa” confirmed agreement with the abbey of Fécamp witnessed by “ex parte Philippi, Robertus frater eius, Anchetilli filius...”[2699], suggests that Anschetil´s widow may have married, as her second husband, Guillaume [I] de Briouse (-[11 Dec 1093/1095]). Anschetil & his wife had [three] children
