There are a few of those about. I have to at least admire the amount of work that went into tracing a tree from modern day back to Eden even if it has to be nonsense (even if one counts the Bible as truth, good luck linking your family back to it!)

Adam and Eve.  How many children did they have?

I didn't realise photography had been invented as early as that!   ;) That increases chances of finding photos of my earliest identified ancestors who were alive in 1690.  ;) I recently found a Moses, born in 1700's, who married into one of those lines. He's the first and so far only Old Testament male name in my tree. His origin is so far unknown.

Reminds me of the rhyme,
Adam and Eve and Pinchme, went down to the river to bathe,
Adam and Eve were drowned,
Who do you think was saved ?

As a child I thought pinchme was a real person  ::)

They must have had one of each, go forth and multiply they were told, so they did. If they had not we would not be here today. ;D

My late father had a theory.

If Adam and Eve were the first and only people alive on Earth and they had 2 sons. Where did the next generation come from  :o :o

I will leave you wonderful researchers to make your own minds up  ;) ;)

There is (or at least was) a tree with my grandpa on it that went back to God, via Jesus and had Adam and Eve on it.  It involved my Grandpa being married to a woman in the US at the same time he was marrying my Gran in Scotland, a man fathering a child at 140, another having a child 20 years before he himself was born.  One I found particularly impressive was a woman having a baby in the Virginian colonies, 6 weeks before she had a baby in France then having another baby in Virginia 8mon after that.  Strong woman don't you think.  I had to keep looking at it even though I felt guilty.  It also had Jesus married to  Mary (the virgin) sic so the Bible wasn't even right.  was impressive for all the wrong reasons

added oh yes and someone being born in the USA in 1200s
