You're not an ancestor of anyone unless you have blood descendants.

De Rais only had one. His line is long extinct.

Anne Pot was born to Marie de Villiers, who was not the daughter of de Rais but of Guy de Nesle and Jeanne de Bruyere.

The records from France from 1380 to 1440 are as reliable as any from the period - what more accurate sources do you have than the available ones?

There is zero evidence that the Montmorencies descend from de Rais, which makes sense since that family can trace itself back to a knightly ancestor from 843.

“as reliable as any” is a complete copout ~ the records are abominable AND many have been changed to avoid including Rais in the blood line ~ and some others as well, particularly the French.
