Aleric (Alerik?)(of the Viseracs?) @ 400 ad who sacked Rome

Hi Marvin:

He could certainly still use some improvement (still has modern placenames for his birth and death locations), but he's of the Visigoths, and he's at:

Alaric the Goth, king of the Visigoths

Thanks, dates match the movie even. Must be a first.

With regard to modern place names in birth and death locations:

I came across a whole load of ancient profiles (before the start of the current common era) with birth or death in British Columbia, Canada.

It made no sense - I removed those locations.

I have since realised how it may have happened - it's what Geni suggests if you put "BC" into a location field rather than a date field!

David, we curators had a good laugh a while back about BC profiles. Similarly, a lot of people died in Y (user probably thought he/she was marking "Yes" for are they dead?

All right Ipad ads in russian. Must be a bot

The BC and Y in the death field is a left over from a GEDCOM. Programs like FTM will only mark a profile as deceased if there is something in yhe field. So if you don;t know the date/place you place a "Y" in the field to force the software into showing that the person is deceased.

Also the use of BC will have the program looking fo a correct location of birth/death. The program will ask if you mean British Columbia if you answer yes, it will then ask if you want ALL BC locations to be Changed to British Columbia, if you answer yes the program will change all.

Some other things common are if you have a profile that was born in NY and you change NY to Kingston, NY, it will ask if you want to change all to Kingston, NY if you answer yes then you will have all kinds of people that are now from Kingston, NY,

Our spammer is showing up on several public discussions. I have reported her. Geesh! A Russian I-Pad? I think not!

What about an American iPad given away by a Russian? Purchased in British Columbia? Y?

Geni is reporting Alaric as my 46th great grandfather: https://www.geni.com/path/John-Rigali+is+related+to+Alaric-the-Goth...

According to the Testing for Fake Medieval and Ancient Lines project, that's not supposed to happen.

I have too many irons in the fire to tackle this right now. I'm mentioning it here in case someone else has the time and inclination to chase it.

Alaric the Goth, king of the Visigoths

Would say first 20 generations ok, but after that who knows? Can’t be, I guess the GENI Gods
