Amazed I can trace back that far! Fornjot? And I merely tolerate the cold.

Yes, we have the sagas,and if we believe what they tell us, and all the intermediate steps, we can indeed trace back that far.

But the saga manuscripts we have are few, and written down for the first time hundreds of years after the events they purport to describe, so like all sources, they need to be treated with care.

Enjoy Geni!

I can believe it because I am larger than any NFL football player's myself. A few might have a couple inches in height on me.

The myth, and sons, at least do not care so much about chronological order as we need:

Generational shifts are most common. In one path you find that several fathers had sons in their 40s; in another path you find that they had sons in their 20s. In 40-50 generations, those shifts can easily accumulate.

That said - paths that look suspiciously short is a hint that you should review them and find any "long jumps" and check their documentation!
