Research the Real

The internet, in all its glory, cannot create human souls. So all that "research" that people have done on their genealogical line to Adam have a lot of made up shells. Vital records and parish records rarely go past 1500 A.D. and those that do go this far back are frustrating to find, and in Latin. "We went through royalty!" It is surprising that so may of noble blood are among us today, and how did they get permission to research important political and historical figures? Besides, heirs to the throne have often had many different rises to power and power struggles, hardly a good way to legitimize a claim. Following the names of such a record though time shows only a father connected to a son, and a generic date. The sons eventually became their own grandfather and so cycles appear. Research should be spent within the first half of this millennium, where the information is more complete and possible to obtain. Chase the real people, not the shells of speculation.
