[Ldsoss] Geneology questions

[Brandon Stout]

That's what I found odd.  I also question some sources such as lineage 
of the Irish Kings.  If I were a new Irish King in 1200 AD, and I wanted 
some credibility for a largely Christian-based populace, I might have 
some historians write up a geneology for me that ties me to any number 
of biblical prophets such as Jeremiah, and therefore Adam and Eve as 
well.  The odd thing is not so much that they allowed some of these 
sources, but more that some people in the Family Search database came 
from the same source, whether they preceded 1 AD or not.  Yet the people 
that succeeded 1 AD get listed, but the other potential ancestors do not 
- at least from my own ancestry so far...

Anyone interested can view my ancestry on http://pgv.flfn.org .  You 
might get some errors on the front page that you can ignore until I 
figure out what broke  when I put data from my phpGedView 4.0 tables 
into my phpGedView 4.1 tables...  I think one potential ancestor from 1 
AD might even be listed there.  Everything else should be working fine.
