@Melusine, {FIctional} is my 36 grt grandmother Judy Rice

how can a fictional person be my 35th GGM?? Shouldnt fictional persons be removed from the REAL persons tree?

This is a world tree.
In some parts of the world even indicating that for example the biblical line which you also find here, is fictional, could get you killed.

Kristen, there are many fictional profiles on Geni. It does no good to remove them. New users just add them back. The better practice is to clearly label them as fictional.

Some people who add ancestors by copying from the Internet don't know that some of what they are copying are medieval stories and legends. We have profiles for many of King Arthur's knight of the Round Table, for example. It can be very hard for some people to accept the idea that there is no historical evidence for Sir Galahad.

I'm not surprised to find Melusine. I made her an MP a few weeks ago, intending to label her as fictional, as I've done for her surrounding family. For some reason I forgot to do that, but I fixed it now. I already had a curator note that she is fictional and she was already in the Fictional Genealogy project.

There was also a real Melusine, a Plantagenet ancestor, on whom the legend was based (or correlated). Her real relationship doesn't quite match the legend as it was recorded. If I find her, I'll make a corresponding note.

Prophet Muhammad of Islam (PBUH) this be the bibicil line you refer to Private User?

@Prophet Muhammad of Islam (PBUH) is my 46th grt grandfather Judy Rice

Why does it say Mohammed is my 49th great grandfather?

Is there a reason someone has modified these profiles again ???
thanks; susan

Hopefully, someone is connecting the mistakes in this line. Much of what passes for the genealogy of the counts of Razès is pure fantasy. There are no mainstream European lines to Muhammed. There are several interesting possibilities, but the Razès line is on the outer limits.

I'm confused also. The path Geni found to Melusina last year or so was my 43rd Great Aunt. Today it says she's my 40th great uncle's grandmother. I wonder why it is changing. Can anyone explain? Thanks! Joanna

Could be somebody's been correcting (or making) errors that affect your relationship paths, or could be the path algorithm has gone wonky again. (It does that from time to time, and settles down again after a few days to a week or so.)

You get used to that if you hang around long enough. :-)

Yes, it seems that many legends were built upon real people who actually lived.and have historical basis. They might be shocked if they could see what "colorful" lives they were supposed to have lived!
