The Confucious Family Tree Numbers Two Milllion!

United Press International is reporting that Confucious has a rather large family tree. As of the end of 2007 there were two million people registered. The report says that the tree will be published in 2009. Some questions sprang to mind -- how extensive was the proof that each new registrant had to provide and did it include supporting documentation? That leads to one more question, are the sources cited?

80,000 of the descendants are in South Korea according to another report and others are in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Switzerland, and the United States.

I am thinking about doing all the data entry for them into The Master Genealogist. Talk about carpal tunnel . . .
