I also got a hit too with him ...

The profile for Childeric king of the Francs (b. ca. 160), "Fictitious Person" = No Path

Could it be that the "Testing for Fake ... Lines" project just needs to be updated? Drop some of the example/test profiles and replace them with more relevant ones?

Sorry for the delayed response but the project does not need updating, there have been no ground breaking discoveries about Alaric's genealogy since the project was created, paths connecting you to him are only evidence of how difficult it is to keep a collaborative genealogy website aligned with historically verifiable facts. As opposed to theories, guesses and imagination.
Finding the dubious connection and breaking it is a time consuming activity requiring specific knowledge of the particular era, there are not many Geni users doing this important work.

We can't even keep *Colonial* lines free of Fictional connections, so I see little hope for matters so much farther back.

Quite.

Childéric I, King of the Franks is my 51st great grandfather.
Childéric I, King of the Franks

No descents
You should not be a descendant of these people, but you might have a relationship path to them.

https://www.geni.com/path/Rachal-Davis+is+related+to+Child%C3%A9ric...

mmmmmmm well mine must be all wrong as well because good old Childéric I, King of the Franks comes up as a great grand pappy ... Would it possibly be better to DELETE the links to him.. ????

I also find that @Childéric I, King of the Franks (47th), King King David of Israel of Israel (106th), and Adam of Eden of Eden (126th) are great grandfathers.

Interesting, but doubtful. For the later two, King David and Adam, might the error be before those in Portugal?

Was my ancestor but no longer.
Big argument re removing / deleting these connections on another profile without proof that the connection does not exist.
Strange reasoning yes but that what was suggested.
Present proof for removing relationships.
Apparently one of the reasons users are leaving GENI.
Judi - Curator 's reasoning.

Hah. Geni won't even cut the link between Richard "the Planter" Cheney of Maryland and Richard Cheney of London, despite clear and explicit proof that the former cannot possibly be the son of the latter.

So don't hold your breath.

Maven B. Helmes -- a woman after my own heart .
It is difficult for all and any of us to realise that often a bit more is needed to connect relatives and parents here on GENI than just because ------.
However seems that for some reason some just never gets disconnected no matter what , can not understand that .

I noticed something interesting. For instance, Clovis I Mérovingiens, I is my 46th great grandfather but when I click on one of his son (who should be my 47th great grandfather logically), it becomes another relationship. Does someone have any idea why? I am also connected directly to Abraham, Adam, King David etc in direct line.

Mickey or Pluto yr grt granny as well Michael

JP you are my 13th cousin thrice removed. [Not sure] where you are going to with your Mickey and pluto. I can send screenshot if you don’t believe me I really don’t mind. Just ask me if that was sarcastic from you.

Just saying do not believe all the relationships on GENI .
It changes too often , these distant ones.

Ok thanks for your input.

My yDNA says I share a common ancestor with King Bela III of Hungary. About 100 bpe .
Nithing on GENI though.
Not genealogy but with Y-dna
That is more based on fact .

I passed the BIG Y test on Family Tree DNA but there is an issue synching it right now. It has been like that for over 1-2 months now. It’s a known issue.

Michel Frédérik Blouin "Does someone have any idea why?"

I think it's because the further back we go in generations, particularly with the high nobility who intermarried quite a lot -- the greater the likelihood of having multiple lines of kinship to individuals such as kings who may have had many, many children.

And the Relationship Calculator gizmo is fairly limited, only gives us the shortest connections (fewest generations, in other words) between us and the target profile. It only gives us one example each of blood kinship and kinship by marriage.

So the child of Clovis could be both your uncle and grandfather, but the Calculator only sees them both as "blood", and chooses by default the shortest connection in number of generations.

Thanks for your input Debra. JP, I passed the BIG Y test on Family Tree DNA (and much more and it goes back to over 1520 years without alteration in genome), but there is an issue synching it right now. It has been like that for over 1-2 months now. It’s a known issue. King Bela III of Hungary Is my 24th Great Grandfather by the way.

By the way, anyone have ing any direct relationship like me with « Jésus de Nazareth ». I would be curious to know if I am the only one having two connection to this master profile.

Jy MOES dit eers gelees het.

A Moes -DNA is also not at it's most a basic comparison .
The Appel and Botha controversy of parentage in South Africa is just one of many very good examples of the specifics of DNA that definitely disproves your assumption.
atDNA has also matched many of my relationships on GENI .I know from DNA which Weyer family are not same as mine .Even my R-U106 not matched with many other R-U106 so further distinctions.

No matter what Alex choose to believe re DNA.
If a man 's yDNA is I haplogroup someone with R haplogroup can not be a male line ancestor even if on GENI it says he is.
If the yDNA is a 99.987 % match they are very very closely related. Most lijelyvfathercand son or grandfather uncke.
Why are DNA being used in legal proceedings or parental queries if they are at best a comparison .
Maths are a comparison 1 is 2 less than compared to 3.
The refusal by so many to accept DNA results are just not keeping up with science.
