A reincarnated zombie polygamist who spreads his seed over two centuries. The tree owner is either writing deep background for characters in a period science fiction piece or they're a mindless clickophile. Can you guess which one my money is on? Sigh.

Hat tip to Patti for the heads up about this profile ;-)

  1. I've actually seen this one since I have ancestors with this surname. Back in my early days of genealogy some of them may have even been in my tree. Yikes! I think I fixed it but now your post makes me want to go check my public tree...

    1. And that's the main difference between people who read my blog and the people who are featured in it ;-) Readers want their tree to be correct. Those featured just want to add people to their tree and not think. Unfortunately this tree will be out there forever and is bound to be copied by others :-P
      Thanks for reading Melanie!

  2. This was an example of merging gone wild. I did the original research and these are legitimate people, but someone merged a lot of Johannes Blessings and the result was a mess.
