:::I'm playing devil's advocate here, but "tracing the lineage" is simply following through the arrow links on the pedigree. Wouldn't this constitute the same degree of "original research" as clicking through to the next page of a pages-long article, simply to "find" the information for any given article? I went through several lines of the pedigree to where I reached triple digit years (AD 600+) and came across princes and other royalty. It was rather astounding; I simply don't know enough about the site to know how those names are accurately connected and who worked on the pedigree's creation. – Kerαunoςcopia◁
