First of all, you are cluttering up the discussion tab of the profiles with these relationship comments, which is hindering fruitful discussions.
On the other hand you should question your self; has this Nep Gewar ever existed?
- The source on the profile is meaningless nonsense and is used on 1042 profiles on Geni.
- Norway didn't exist as an entity at the time Nep Gewar should have lived.
His supposed wife would never used his "lastname" Gewar, since women in todays Scandinavia didn't use their husbands name at that time, and how is anyone able to state that she is born in april 225? What is the source?
Their daughter, Nanna, is in Norse mythology considered a goddess and the wife of Odins son, Balder. It is not possible for anyone of us to prove any family relationship back to anyone written about in the Norse mythology, so all of us should find out where our ancestry are uncertain and sever the connection to uncetain, unproved and wishful ancestry.
Odin is believed to have been Gapt (Geat) of the Amals. There have been numerous archeological discoveries to prove that many of the "Gods" in folklore were remarkable people who did exist (referring to some in the Spartan/pre roman era). It will be interesting if there is ever anything found concerning Nep and others of the north.
The norse sagas were more believable than the Roman or Greek. I don't see how including persons from them into the lines hinders anyone. If anything it may drive people to seek to prove/disprove them. Especially in reference to the Yngling and Orkneyj Sagas. It is all part of the puzzle. I would prefer to leave them in if for nothing more than a reminder that even with judicious study of genealogies much is still left up to faith in the accuracies of the material being read. I see them as more a gut check to remember that what is often repeated in family histories/lineages isn't necessarily what actually occurred. You have every right to see them as nonsense. Just as others have the right to see them as a representation of the past. records are only as accurate as the person recording them.
