This is the FINAL piece of the project to Isolate the Biblical Tree, which in turn is part of the https://www.geni.com/projects/Biblical-Tree/38 project.

Isolating the Biblical Tree involves a LOT of clean-up. Especially so in the later generations, at the end of the biblical period.

The genealogy of Zerubbabel, Governor of Judah and about 30 of his immediate descendants can be found in 1 Chronicles 3:17-24. These are the LATEST genealogies in the Jewish Bible, and among the later generations in the genealogy of Jesus. As such Zerubbabel is a focal-point for many lines to much later periods. In order to isolate the tree, it is precisely these lines that must be identified and CUT. This will be done by finding his immediate descendants do NOT have ANY listed sources, and snipping them off.

Because these lines MIGHT have useful information, and in order to avoid creating additional messes, this project will create "placeholder" profiles for people such as Zerubbabel himself, and any intermediate generations connecting the lines to him.

Here is a schematic of these lines. NOT the complete tree, just the beginning of each unsourced lines (in bold).
