The Medlands source doesn't seem to give a name for this mother of

Petrislav of Rascia Mihailović

It just states:"... m secondly (after [1056]) ---, a Greek. The Chronicle of the Priest of Duklja records Mihailo's second marriage (after his accession) to "a Greek woman…a relative of the emperor" and names "Dobroslav, Petrislav, Nicephorus, Theodorus" as their four sons[67].

So I'm just curious how her name was determined to connect her and her parents here on Geni. Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious, but I just want to be sure I don't make inaccurate connections in my personal tree.

Thanks in advance for any additional information.

And I just realized he has a brother connected by the same name:

Petrislav of Rascia Mihailović

Mihailo I of Duklja

Mihailo Vojislavljević

Died 1081
Spouse Monomachina

Mihailo married a niece of Constantine IX Monomachos, with whom he had seven sons, out of which four are known: …

Constantine had 2 sisters so it’s one or the other. Now, how the managers determined it was the sister who didn’t like him, I’m not sure.

That's what I had possted - that Medlands refers to her as a relative of Constantine but doesn't name which of his siblings was her parent and I haven't seen that documented anywhere else, so was curious what the sources used for the connection here on Geni might be.

The managers might respond better by email in their language. Since I don’t know which of the sisters, an option could be to setup an unknown (either / or). But that’s not an optimal solution, and there isn’t evidence to disconnect from the tree, from what I see so far. Look into the husbands of the sisters.
