That's what I found odd. I also question some sources such as lineage of the Irish Kings. If I were a new Irish King in 1200 AD, and I wanted some credibility for a largely Christian-based populace, I might have some historians write up a geneology for me that ties me to any number of biblical prophets such as Jeremiah, and therefore Adam and Eve as well. The odd thing is not so much that they allowed some of these sources, but more that some people in the Family Search database came from the same source, whether they preceded 1 AD or not. Yet the people that succeeded 1 AD get listed, but the other potential ancestors do not - at least from my own ancestry so far...
Anyone interested can view my ancestry on http://pgv.flfn.org . You might get some errors on the front page that you can ignore until I figure out what broke when I put data from my phpGedView 4.0 tables into my phpGedView 4.1 tables... I think one potential ancestor from 1 AD might even be listed there. Everything else should be working fine.

I don't know as much has happened since then. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
