To add, all this multi-generational, plus 10 or 15 generations, is all crap anyway. YOU CANNOT USE THE BIBLE AS A SOURCE DOCUMENT FOR YOUR TREE!!!!! People, get real. Use ONLY documented sources, that is, those you can find on PAPER somewhere in an archive. I just get sick of seeing these people who claim they have proof of ancestry back umpteen generations, but have nothing but conjecture. Furthermore, you idiots who claim an ancestral chart back to Adam and Eve, can I sell you some land in Florida? Sorry to get so "het up", but some "researchers" should go back, erase every bit of data they have in their database, forget they every had any ancestors, and just figure they were discovered under a cabbage leaf in the garden. They might follow the genealogy of the cabbage plant more correctly than they have followed their own genealogy. A really P***ed off follower of this List, because of idiotic post like Ken's.
