A collection of profiles that are known through record or legend to be descended from or closely related to a famous Jewish figure, but the generations in between or exact conection are unknown. This list should include both the descendant and the ancestor. The aim is that with a communal effort we could solve some of these mysteries and then remove them from the project.

Guidlines

• Don't include 'unsolvable' connections e.g. huge generation gaps
• Don't include legends based on very unreliable information at the best
• Don't include extremely common lineages e.g. RASHI - רש״י. (see PatentlyJewish)
• Don't include profiles of people descended from half a dozen missing ancestors. The known information is simply too vague to deal with.

This is not just a list of people with distinguished lineage, the purpose is to actually solve some of the mysteries.

Additionaly, only direct blood ancestral connections should be included, as well as very close relatives i.e. up to 3rd cousin.

Please ensure that there is a section called 'Missing generations' in the about section of both profiles. A link to the project should be provided as well as a note of the missing link to the famous personality for example:

MISSING GENERATIONS Missing Links Project

Descendant of Rabbi Shlomo Ephraim Luntschitz, ABD Prague, auth. "Kli Yakar"

This project should prove to be highly valuable to Geni curators and genealogy enthusiasts alike.
