How much can you trust??
How much can you trust others genealogy? I am in One Great Family and I really like a lot the function where it authomaticly unite families if you have one familymember that is the same. Now I got my husbands line all the way to Adam and Eve... through Seth, Enok, Jared, Enos, ... Noa, Also James Jesus brother, Odin and Freia... two figures in the Norwegean mythology, Kings from BC around 200-300 ad, James stuart, Bloody Mary, French, Italian, English kings, cesars in Rome, Pharaos.... over 128 generations....
 Has people really been able to go so far for certanity or is there a LOT of mistakes ... I suppose T should check every, and each one by myself to be sure.... what a work! I wonder can I contaqct the one who did that genealogy to discuss with him/her....

I think you can trust it completely, Mailis. I bet you really -are- descended from Odin and Freya, two mythical deities from Norse mythology.
I'm descended from a long line of leprechauns and unicorns.

Short answer: You can't trust the European royal genealogies. In fact, I seem to remember that the Church doesn't allow work to be done for people born before the early Renaissance or late middle ages. Can't back this up, but it seems I came across this when I was doing genealogy for my wife fifteen years ago. Can anyone else confirm or correct this?

Vort-
My Dad ran into issues with family members in the 1600s roughly 15 years ago as they said 95% of that work for that time period was done. It was frustrating for him and he had to go through some "red tape" but in the end it was all done. Mailis-Good luck with it and welcome to the frustrating side of genealogy. There is SOOOOO much out there with little backing it up

Mailis help me understand here. How could figures from Norwegian mythology be part of your ancestry?

I admit I am just getting into this but who wants to go back that far? Do you really think that there were good enough recording procedures then?

I've found that I can't trust recent genealogy...best to do your own verifications and acquire supporting evidence. I think it would be fun to follow the trail...some will be valid...some may be invalid...happy hunting : )

I am sure you can trust the Church Geneology Database.
