How is it that people's genealogy show them being related to mythological figures such as gods and goddesses. That shows up a lot in mine when I go into Nordic ancestry, but I'm even finding it in Welsh ancestry. I mean it's not real genealogy if it says I am related to imaginary people. so what's up?

Anne Brannen What's going on is that the old genealogies, the medieval genealogies, often show lines going back to the gods, just as they also show lines going back through royalty. Because that was really the point then.
These lines are on Geni because, for one thing, if we took them out they would keep getting put back in, but more importantly because they give us a piece of history.
if you go into such profiles and click on the discussion tab you will often find discussions that go on for pages, and you can see the argumentation and the use of sources.
