Genealogy - Geni (Grandparents)

Using the Geni.com website, I have been able to trace my lineage all the way back to Adam and Eve, with many stops in between.  I am not so naive as to believe that everything I have found is true and accurate, but nevertheless I find it interesting and have been trying to record this information in some form.  Thus, I have prepared a database that lists, generation by generation, the chain of pedigree which led to such findings.

To date, I have recorded the following lines of genealogy. They may be found in My Documents, Box - Genealogy, Ancestors of Glenn by Order #.  Below I am listing only the most distant generation, but every generation between that generation and myself is recorded.  I must emphasize that there are occasionally some inconsistencies in the pedigree chain which may require further verification
