King Kari ''Wind'' Fornjotsson, Myth King of Kvenland - Heritage tree

I think most folks from Northern Europe and the British Isles are your cousins! :-)

All I can say really, is that it gets quite complicated having a mythical person in one's lineage.. What appears to be a genuine lineage to mythical royals is validated and then is refuted. Well, we can just enjoy our King Karl "Wind" Fornjotsson as a forefather or choose not to. I have kept him on :). This is all part of genealogy which I love and causes each and every one of us to research and in turn, learn more of our heritage. That has to be good!

The Curating team is working on a standardised methodology to indicate when profiles drift off into the "less than factual" category and also to disconnect the most fanciful of these from being ancestors of living people. Drawing a line between "real" and "not-real" is not an easy task, made all the harder when a profile's data may be sourced from multiple sources of varying validity with different opinions of the same person.

Mythical is relative, most people tend to exaggerate their lives and play down their flaws. I'm going with King of the Wind!!

Thank you Alex - that is why we need Curators, such as yourself, with historical investigatory skills.

Nonsense Coralie, my "historical investigatory skills" barely cope with remembering where I left my car keys! What I had for dinner last night is a complete mystery.

There are less than 200 curators but more than 100 million profiles, the curators need diligent helpful users to do the leg work for us :)
