Boudicca, queen of the Iceni - @Boadicea

Vanessa there is no proof that has any descendants. The only mention of a surviving daughter julia is from a very unreliable source. See the discussion here:

Dear Vanessa Brooks DP713053C1

Boudicca, queen of the Iceni the profile is still here.

There are no proven lines, so there is no reason to fabricate any. Surely if Boudiccas offspring had children, she can be also your ancestor, and everybody elses who is now living and having European ancestry. Most European ancestors who lived 1000-2000 years ago are ancestors to us all many many times, through different lines. Mathematical calculations suggests that.

These lines keeps changing here all the time also. That tool is very nice for many things, especially when using it with DNA and looking for close lost relatives.

For these older lines, you must check every profile what you have, and check there are good enough sources. Otherwise you cannot trust it. That is actually very fullfilling work.

When you check the main profile and there are section of discussions: it is better to continue some older discussions about "this person is my number xx ancestor" - there are no reason to start new one. Many people think this is spamming the Geni. I would not take it that far saying that though. I do understand and it is very normal to be exited about ancestors as we all are truly connected. Discussions just are opened normally if there are something generally interesting news of the profile, or some new info, error, exctr.

Thank you for your fast reply. I was confused why Geni led me to the Boudicca profile. I had never known of the warrior Queen. I was walking the pedigree tree of my connection with de la Pole. Geni led me to that profile. I am curious what connection did Geni find as there must be something.

I do not hunt for these connections. My DNA that is propagated to my profile has linked to so many living people who are linked to many notable ancestors.

I am only guessing. I am a commoner but my DNA says my Ancestors were anything but and Geni takes me to the profiles. Not me.

Thank you for responding. I just want everyone to understand that Geni directs me with the pedigree links. I rely on the experts to explain why my DNA shows a connection if they are interested in knowing. I cannot explain it. I am looking for a whole tribe of people who may have been wiped out and Boudicca could have been a starter.

L1c2b1 that is my haplogroup. I will continue to look. Perhaps beyond Boudicca. Let's see where Geni directs me.

Geni is a collaborative platform for genealogy. So we _all_ make Geni. There are no staff of Geni that would make decisions about our personal lineages somewhere, even though there are general clean ups. Also curators are volunteers.

Anyone could have added to a tree an ancestor, that reconnects individuals with nothing to do with each other. This happens in this world tree of millions of profiles every day. That is, when you find a connection, it is your responsibility to check the facts and sources for each person individually. Lots of work.

The "lineage counter" is just a nice tool, so it shouldn't be taken very seriously when you go back in time 1000y or more.

While our ancestors almost certainly are “everyone” you can see here in a distant past who had enough offspring, we may never be able to authenticate the line to them.

That tool is still a really nice addition and fun to see how the families correlate and it is great to find information even from some ancestors, most of them have disappeared into the twilight of history.

What is worth and important, is focusing on checking that every lineage is right, up to the 16th century. It always raises the level of the entire platform.

Warm greetings from here in the north (we still have snow here :) ),
