"Genealogica Antiqua or Mythological and Classical Tables, Compiled from the Best Authors, or Fabulous and Ancient History." by William Berry, London, Baldwin, Cradock, and Joy, 1816. https://books.google.com/books?id=Dk4MAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA4&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=3#v=snippet&q=julius&f=false Included as more of a curiosity (see Julii Caesares), as Berry, who did not cite or otherwise identify any of the "best authors" upon which he relied in compiling his tables (indeed, in his introduction, he merely apologizes for not having room in the tables to do so), includes a number of dubious names and relationships in his genealogy of the Julii, many of which are not found in any known ancient source, and in some cases are flatly contradicted by them; many appear to have been invented by Berry or one of his unnamed sources merely in order to fill gaps or otherwise improve the genealogy.

Berry anticipates Drumann's error in assuming that Sextus Julius Caesar, the military tribune of 181 BC, and Sextus, the consul of BC 157, were father and son; and also Griffin's conjecture that the family is descended from Lucius Julius Libo, consul in 267.
