I doubt that even DNA tests could substantiate that claim, Kerry ! 

And if the Garden of Eden was, as is thought nowadays, to be in the modern Iraq, I'm not sure I'd like to search there for relatives !!

Happy New Year to all who have given their opinions on my query ... any more welcome !  I've emailed some of the 'sources' on the Ancestry site ... waiting ...

It may have been my posting you saw.  (*)

I've been browsing Ancestry's trees ... quite amazing, some of them !

As for Anselm, technically if he was a Benedictine monk, then he should have been celibate, and therefore childless !!  So who are his descendents ?!

Hi Peter,

Please don't think all Aussies are quick to add fancy names to their trees, even after a few XXXX  :D
I am extremely strict when it comes to adding to my tree, even with a scotch in my hand.

Happy New Year, hic!  ;)

Hi,

In reply to Lydart, since your posting, Anselm seems to have disappeared unless he's staring me in the face through the haze from last night. However, Saint Arnulf is there too.

To Margaret I have to say I'm not convinced by your comments. If - 1 you're an Oz, 2 you like imaginative family tree building, 3 you just had a few tinnies watching England collapse (again) and 4 thus have a couple of days' innings now going free to use up the rest of your supply then the combination could be interesting.

By the way, for anyone who didn't know, Saint Arnulf is the patron saint of brewing. In view of my previous posting, nuff said I think.

Peter.

Peter, Peter, Peter.

Yes 1. I am an aussie, thus having been born with alcohol in the blood.
2. not so, I can prove I am related to King Richard,   ;)
3. sorry about the cricket.  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D
4. never any leftovers, silly boy. Reminds me - must get to the bottle shop before the next innings start.

cheers

About 3 years ago I put a tree on Ancestry not as big as the one I have now not as accurate so I deleted it but I can still find this tree on Rootsweb There are a couple of errors and a complete line that is wrong. So do not trust what you see. I do not know how to delete of Rootsweb

Thanks for that very helpful (and scary) information.  Makes me very very nervous of putting a tree on Ancestry  :-\

Thanks for sharing the information about your tree and Ancestry. Makes me even more skeptical than before.

I'm becoming very suspicious of a lot of people who have posted Trees on the sites mentioned. There is one that I know of - has over 3000 names - has no sources listed.
I was browsing a few day ago - on the Rootsweb.com site (it says supported by Ancestry.com).
Found this guy's  (is Australian) Tree, he seems to have traced his Ancestors back to HENRI 1 (King of France) he has a note on this site - I will not reply to email queries unless they relate to my direct ancestors, all other will be deleted. Is this guy real - his name in his email address is guitarhero - he has 8000+ names listed . Sounds like a nice chappy??
Sarra ;)
