Talk:Prince Rostislav Alexandrovich of Russia

Ivan II not Ivan III
This article states that his first wife, Princess Alexandra, as a member of the House of Galitzine, descended from Sophia Palaiologina and Ivan III of Russia.

Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina have no living descendants- their line died out in the 1600's. The ancestor of the Galitzine family and Prince Rostislav Romanoff is Ivan II of Moscow and his wife Aleksandra Vasilievna Veliaminova. Their granddaughter Anna of Moscow married Prince Yury Patrikeievich, and they are the ancestors of the Galitzines. Also, the sources listed do not show Sophia Palaiologina and Ivan III as the ancestors of the Galitzines. I would like to remove this from the article and have provided below sources that prove my point. Thoughts?
