With the known fact that this web site will always be under continuous construction because of the extensive work it takes to build a Biblical genealogy (including the bibliographies), it would only be best to let others know what is going on during the site building, and the Biblical study.
This web site (as of February 8, 2012) goes only as far as the 23rd Generation (Laban). I have added several new web pages to this web site, and the interesting part is seeing the different meanings of the names in Hebrew. One thing is for sure, I wouldn’t want the name of Nahor for my name, for it means “Snorer” in Hebrew. Having the musical name of Zimran wouldn’t be so bad, though. You will find that the web page for Laban is not quite finished, but I am working on that.
My mother, Jean has written several children’s stories a number of years ago, and she wants the stories to be available for your reading pleasure. I have them post on my web site for your reading. I have posted four of the six since she wants to know how well they will be received. I have grown up with these stories as she has told them to numerous children classes, but I would say that the stories aren’t just for children but for adults as well. Click here to see the story list, and enjoy the reading!
I am embedding sound files to help with the pronunciation of the names that are mentioned. I am also putting sound files for the pronunciation of the Hebrew and Greek. However, it is my pronunciation of it and it doesn’t mean that it is always correct.
Also posted on this web site is the Hebrew Calendar for the year 2011 and 2012 which Paul Thayer and I put together, it should be of some great interest.
Web Site History
I have been interested in genealogy ever since the age of 14 when I began studying my own ancestry. Before that time history really was not my favorite subject, but when I saw that a few of my ancestors fought in the Civil War and the Revolutionary War, my dislikes for history soon changed. Those boring names and dates that are commonly used in history soon became known to me as people and events because my ancestors have paralleled American history.
In my personal genealogy my goal was to trace my lineage back into the Bible, but I found it to be a little difficult. Then an idea came to me that I should start at the other end and work to the present. Therefore, in 2003 I began working at putting together a Biblical Genealogy starting at the very beginning of Creation combining several books together to widen the spectrum of Biblical history.
The books you will find which is used in this study is the Bible, the First and Second books of Adam and Eve, the Book of Jasher, the Book of Jubilees, and the Strongs Concordance. The further I go into the Biblical history, there will be more books that I will be using to study from.
You may notice that I am not using the 4004 BC theory of when Adam was created, but
a later date of 3901 BC. The reason of that is because Jasher 8:1 -
If an astronomical event took place like this, then it could be researched on some computer program that would show this event. After some months of trying to figure out what this great star was, I looked up on the Internet, “The Birth of Abraham” and found the answer I had been looking for.

This astronomical event took place on February 22nd through the 25th of 1953 BC when Venus (being the brightest object in the nighttime sky next to the moon) went into conjunction with Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Mercury. Venus in its brightness appeared to swallow up the other planets.
Counting backwards from Abraham’s birth to Adam, I have calculated Adam’s creation to be at 3901 BC.
