Julius Erving?
4000 BCE was a loooong time ago. Bronze Age. Invention of writing.With the help of genetic markers my Scots line goes back about 4000 years BCE right into the NE area of [Aberdeen] Scotland to the Picts.
Yes, you have to be careful with the credibility of some of the entries in Family Search. After all, that information is often self-entered by various family members. One of my former coworkers whom I still communicate with is a hard core genealogy researcher. She points out that the religious motivations of LDS members in using it is different from those of us who are using it strictly for historic genealogy. So sometimes, people entering data will force family tree entries. Like pounding a square peg into a round hole when all else fails. She also opined that the real value in Family Search is the document images that accompany many entries. Those are right there to see, they can't be faked or forced.But when we started entering that in Ancestry and FamilySearch, it became apparent there were errors. Even with accounting for"family names" ex. My FIL is Bob, eldest BIL is Bob, eldest nephew Bob (and all with same middle names,) it looks like there are ancestors who are both earlier and later in the table
You are correct. I am just looking into the Pict's/Celt's Ogham script. Found on a lot of standing stones and no one yet knows exactly how to decipher it. Looks like stick symbol writing. Hmmm.4000 BCE was a loooong time ago. Bronze Age. Invention of writing.
