The genealogy addiction started many years ago for me. The kilt addiction is relatively new. My Family tree occupies four four drawer file cabinets with copies of documents for each of the 18,421 records in my database. Without verification, the data could be a mere bit of the wishful thinking of the author of the source you have entered. Around the beginning of the twentieth century everybody was publishing a family genealogy purporting to go all the way back to famous, or royal lines. Most of these "brag books" were very wishful thinking that could not be really feasible biologically. They serve as nice guide, but should be verified with primary records as much as as is possible. Mine started before the personal computer became available. The internet does speed up the process, as well as speed the spread of some questionable data.
