I have been adding our ancestors to the one world family tree at Geni.com which makes collaborating with other genealogists very easy. I have hooked the Skjold ancestors back to King Harald the Fine Hair and Charlemagne there (note cousin Lee Munson had previously found this connection on his genealogy trip to Norway in the 1960s). This descent seems pretty solid. Mind you all Northern Europeans are descended from Charlemage and probably all Norwegians from King Harald. Click here for a good article on that.

The pruported descent from Attila the Hun, Cleopatra,  King Solomon, and early Chinese emperors seems less solid.

Here are some of those ANCESTRIES AT GENI:

Harald I "Fairhair", king of Norway is Lawrence Shipley Munson's 26th great grandfather. (this line changes regularly when the medievalists clean up the genealogies so click the link for the current one, but the math suggests all Norwegians are his descendants)
