I have found sites with my line back to Noah and Adam and Eve I have no problem with that but I must admit I dont think everything in the line is correct just what Ive read in the Bible. Didnt mean to bring Christianity into this list but please dont bring the Bible in to trash it.>> I don't think that was the intention, Eve. Both items were written by humans. Humans wrote both books (accepted and unaccepted) and websites. Men wrote the inspirational stories and both men and women wrote gedcoms and websites. And BOTH change from time to time to reflect new things. Are there bits of truth in both? Yes. Can everything be taken as fact? No, of course not. The best way to solve anything in your database is to verify with evidence. Have I checked every name, date, place, children and parents in my own database? No, I haven't seen all of the original work. There is a lot that people have done before me, and I frankly do not have the time nor the resources to devote all my time to genealogy. But there are some excellent leads out there if I want to do more sound research, and I thank them for their time and effort...
