Hallo Amber
where do your "Geva Knudsson" come from - in europe his name is Gorm den Gamle/Gorm the Old
He is the oldes king nown in Denmark, and a possible son of King Hardeknud.

The curator Flemming Allan Funch is responsible for the area around Harald Bluetooth and are currently performing a major cleanup in that area, so we should let him make decisions on this.

The Private manager you refer to is however an halfway unclaimed account, so if you can post a link you the Geva Knudsson you mention it would be fine.

Thanks for the massage
I will wait and see, wha Flemming Funch finds out
Geva Knudsson is quit new for me :)

Well, the name Geva is news to me too. A lot of people have entered the name like that, but I haven't seen any kind of documentation for it. Anyway, since everybody seems to agree that he's identical to Gorm the Old, there's no major problem with it.

Gorm's parentage is rather uncertain, and there might very well have been several Gorms. But I'm so far assuming that Gorm the Old is identical to Gorm Engelske (Gorm, the English).

There are other things that a lot of people do in that area that I'm aware of no documentation for. Lots of people link either Gorm or his son Harald Bluetooth up with a "de Crepon" family in France. Which is surprising to Scandinavians who haven't heard of any such connection and it is probably wrong. The de Crepons do seem to come from a Danish viking king, but probably somebody named Harald a couple of generations earlier.

This isn't so much a reply as a questionn is ther an extant list of the chain of ancestry from Gorm down through the years. my reearch on my dna and ancestry indicates that Svend ForkbeardI am trying to confirm or dismiss that concluion any ideas how I can do that? Thnka
