King David to Raban Gamliel to Rashi etc.

Thank you for setting up this forum to address this vital issue. We really need everyone's help as this line has somehow been lost.

Shmuel, to participate is the discussion do you just have to post a response, and then does your profile link automatically to the sidebar?

Ofir Friedman has astutely saved records of the previous links. Perhaps it is best if one person takes over co-ordinating all the information that comes in and then posts the options for us all to decide on how best to proceed to repair the line and hopefully with the added help of experts in the area.

The line that I found with a source to substantiate it was the one that Leah Hoffman originally had with Hillel's father as Hezekiah Hazaken ben Uzziah and so on for 37 generations to Daniel ben Shephatiah ben David HaMelech, and I have already sent Ofir a screen shot of that.

@ Shmuel, how do we add links under "Profiles Mentioned"?

I'm 99.99% certain that
http://www.geni.com/people/King-David-%D7%93%D7%95%D7%93-%D7%94%D7%...
was the son of
Jesse .
two days ago, and that the disconnect somehow happened while I was merging B Yungreis's branch onto the main tree.
So I imagine that the first step is to glue them back together.

Does this path from King David to Rashi seem right?

No objections from me.
I'm afraid that the disconnects occurred when I tried to merge B Yungreis's tree while unmerging his tree from Marla Schick's tree which I have no rights to.
Sorry.

I should add that I know nothing about the genealogy and was irresponsibly trying to merge three trees that led from Rashi to Adam Harishon. I now see that Marla Schick's trees has some differences from Malka Mysels's tree before Rashi's father at
http://www.geni.com/profile/index/6000000003078549436.
I seem to be simply messing up your work, so I will try to step out of this project unless you need me to do something with one of B Yungreis's profiles.

Eli, the path that I have is the one that Geni's algorithm just created for me. We need to have input like you are providing so kindly by responding so that the line can indeed be authenticated, merged and cleaned up.

Ofir Friedman seems to have kept alot of records, and if he would agree to become the central co-ordinator for the Rashi to KIng David line, then perhaps with everyone's input and help we will be able to figure out the correct path.

Some of the differences I see from the Rashi path above that I had, and the one with Marla Schick's tree.

Malka, Thanks. I'll be happy to try to do my part in helping with cleaning up and merging, as long as someone else is in charge of the genealogy.

Should I reattach
King David of Israel
to
Yishai:
Jesse .
It's making me nervous that they're sitting there unattached. Someone's going to start adding them again.

Eli you are correct that that Jesse . was King David of Israel's father, but for some reason Geni refuses to let me reattach them. :-(

Malka,
1) once you comment, then yes your name will appear under Participants, and yo will automatically see this discussion in your list.

2) The easiest way to "tag" people to get them in the Profiles Mentioned list, is to copy-paste their profile-ID between double-square brackets. Like this: [[profile-ID]].
[If someone is a close relative you can use the @ trick described to the right of the reply box. but it doesn't always find people, so I skip it altogether.]

Eli feel free to try.

Ok, I attached David Hamelech to Jesse/Yishai with unknown mother/wife. (I'm sure that he had a mother last week.)

Geni simply hung when I tried to attach David as Jesse'sJesse . son, but when I then said that Jesse was "This person" (David's father), it worked.

Ok, I reconnected Hillel Hazaken - 'The Elder', President, The Sanhedrin as son of Hezekiah Hazaken, as indicated by Malka Mysels in a post #6.

Ok, a status report on what I understand so far about what remains unresolved from my attempted merge:
1. There is now a second Boaz . half/partial unresolved brother of the official Boaz .. This second Boaz is merely part of an orphaned chain managed by Private User leading from Nahshon ben Aminadav down to Yoshea Hasandler.
2. There is now a second RASHI - רש״י managed by Private User listed as the great-grandson of the main RASHI - רש״י's uncle * Elyakim Ben Aharon Tzarfati. This second Rashi apparently has thousands of descendants many of which are also connected to the main Rashi, either separately or through unresolved tree merges.
3. The main RASHI - רש״י now has double daughters
of Miriam and Yocheved (Yochoved) besides the daughters of the second Rashi.

I am repeating here what Malka Mysels pointed out earlier about Marla Schick's tree, that:
between Rashi's father Yitzchak Tzarfati and his ancestor Avraham son of Yossi/JOSE
some people have three generations
Shlomo son of Elyakim son of Aharon (Harofeh)
while the main Geni tree now simply has one generation called Aharon?/Shlomo? * Aharon Shlomo Tzarfati
B Yungreis's tree had the three generations, but they got lost during my merge.

Thank you Eli, your help and reports are greatly appreciated.

Regarding the Rashi profile perhaps you should consult with Ofir before proceeding with any merges because he has a large list of Rashi profiles and some source material that he is sorting out in order to formulate a central plan - so just check with him first.

In addition to [[RASHI - רש״י]] and [[http://www.geni.com/profile/index/6000000003078549436#/tab/overview]] there is a third Rashi with many descendants [[Unknown Profile]], but Ofir has found many more.

Thank you, Malka. I am just attempting to sort out and report on the results of my attempt to merge B Yungreis's tree and Marla Schick's tree onto the main tree. I am certainly happy to hear that someone (Ofir) is working on a real plan, and I would be happy to leave further decisions to him.

Malka, I really appreciate your non-confrontational communication.
P.S. to use the [[]] trick, I think that you just put the long number, e.g. 6000000002037304143, between the brackets, without all the rest of the link.

Dear Eli,

I wish I can say something intelligent about the Rashi issues. Unfortunately I'm not qualified to comment. I will be delighted to see any true scholar's opinion on this matter.

Eli, your enthusiasm and interest in offering to help clean up the Rashi to King David line is most welcome. We are urgently looking for people to help us with this project. This is a pivotal area of the Big Tree and it is in dire need of attention and central coordination such as Shmuel so selflessly provides for the Bible tree.

Shmuel and Eli thanks for printing a link guide, let me try to see if i can
get the links to work right this time.
1. [6000000006709501378]
2. [6000000002037304143]
3. [6000000003078549436]

Should there be double brackets?
What am I still doing wrong. It is so cool when you guys
are able to get tags to work.

Malka, I'm glad to help where I can.
Yep, double brackets.

Hatzlacha! May Hashem help you in the merit of Dovid Hamelech and all the Tzaddikim in this tree!

Just testing profile tags.

Linda, please stop doing this immediately! This is inappropriate.

I do not know who you people are, but I find it close to ridiculous to suddenly see Geni telling me that my wife's second cousin's wife's cousin (or something like that) is Rashi haKadosh's 26'th great grandson.
1) Whether it is true or not is totally irrelevant.
2) The chances of anyone alive today KNOWING if it is true are nil.
Maybe stop cluttering Geni with this stuff?
It seems to me as useful as (lehavdil!!!) the way Geni tries to get me related to Madonna or George Washington. Yeah right....
Have a great Pesach Sheni, meheira yibaneh!!!
Shimon

Maybe genealogy is not for you Shimon. Most of us are hear to find our roots and our ancestors. I'm sorry if my ancestors offend you.

@Shimon, I personally LIKE knowing the trivial stuff. As a matter of fact Madonna IS a distant cousin of mine through the Fortin line of French-Canadians, plus I was one who worked on her tree. I like knowing who my ancestors are and who their descendants are no matter how far removed they are.

If it's irrelevant information to you, I am guessing you might want to set your tree preferences to see Ancestors only, that way you won't be offended by all the rest of the family trees that are connected via siblings of ancestors.
