I am one of those who is responsible for the recent inquiries concerning gateway ancestors to Plantagenet. I have discovered quite a bit of information on the net (databases,etc) that go back to Adam. Attempting to verify connections each step of the way back as I have already been led astray once through someone's "speculation and conjecture" that the father of my "dead end" was a Percy. So taking it slow and verifying. Still haven't gotten solid confirmation of the new link I have (mentioned previously this month). And I don't understand how Adam, and some of the other old timers could live for hundred's, if not thousands, of years. And did King Priam of Troy (my 75th ggf) really exist? Was his son Helenus also called Paris as in the upcoming movie "Troy"? And Noah? When does real life end and myths and Bible stories take over. I am seriously curious. As we learn in this "hobby", verifying and double verifying sources is important. Any thoughts? Happy hunting!
