Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Babur, founder of the Mughal Empire, was a descendant of Timur on his father's side and of Genghis Khan on his mother's side?

Yes. A reference article on the Mughal Empire states directly that Babur was descended from Timur on his father's side and from Genghis Khan on his mother's side, matching the claim exactly. Other sources confirm Babur's descent from both figures but do not specify which side each lineage came from.
