Well, I got one miss all my connections to antiquity, particularly the "Davidic" lineage.... Attila the Hun, "Scourge of God", King of the Huns, King Wen of Zhou, 周文王, 昌, 40 and the 50 generations of Assyrian kings.... 😉

Well Erica Howton, making the cuts at "my end" is relatively easy in MOST cases.
It's knowing where to cut the mythic /faked lines further up the tree, that is often harder. But I'm willing to do most anything to FINALLY get the "Biblical Tree" isolated! I'm STILL spending the majority of my Geni time on cutting off the endless new copies. I've tried going through the entire tree and lock-relationships to prevent merges, but that's simply too much.
Erica Howton,
it's all in the hands of Mike. We can't do a thing without him first doing the magic from his end. Creating the list or project is rather trivial compared to sweeping the tree to find cut-points, which is very HARD work.
Just based on the math, after 25 generations, it is a near virtual certainty you are related to everyone in antiquity. 25 generations gives you over 33 million grandparents in the 25th generation of grandparents. It doubles each generation you go back. So when someone tells you that they are a descendant of Charlemagne ... just smile ... and ask ... who isn't?
Harald T A -- very good ! Good humour but also shows how relatives , DNA and descendancy is so misunderstood . We humans just each a chemical composition of different chemicals as well.
Why I think ( dare I say it ) : Exactly why religious texts are often simplified manuals trying to explain very complex events / occurences and developments to everyone .
Even that then often too many misunderstand and get a completeley wrong meaning of what the writer was trying to convey .
