A drawing of Picard VIII, comte de Holl
According to background material created for Star Trek Generations, Picard VIII, comte de Holl (in English, Count Picard VIII of Holl) was an ancient count from the Holl region of France. He was a distant ancestor of Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard.
The article containing this information was included in the Picard family album during the filming of Generations. However, the information is non-canon as the article was never seen on-screen.
