RESEARCH NOTES:
1. Inasmuch as temple work has already been done for and in behalf of Odin and some of his descendants, this compilation is made so that there may be a permanent record in the Church Records Archives giving the most desirable source of information and the most desirable arrangement of children and descendants based upon these sources. Odin has been shrouded in mystery and has been considered both mythical and an actual historical personage by various authorities. The last mentioned contention is justified more by the fact that ancient chronologers independent of each other and without contact or knowledge of each other have claimed and recorded lineal descent for their rulers from Odin. In each instance the pedigree from a given ruler back to Odin has been given, and approximations based upon the number of generations indicated have virtually in every instance set the birth of Odin between 200 A.D. and 300 A.D. The exception would be the Scandinavian pedigrees, but due to the violent lives and deaths of their kings, the generation period would logically be less than the Anglo-Saxon. In either event only an arbitrary approximatioin can be made for dates of birth from Odin down to the 5th Century. Thereafter more specific data is available. The Anglo-Saxon sources give Frithuwald as the sire of Odin, whereas the Heimskringla names Bor.

RESEARCH NOTES:
    1. Beldeg's mother's name is not given, though it is likely one of the first three wives of Odin listed above. Beldeg is listed separately inasmuch as the ordinance dates given for the "wife" above are definitely for Beldeg's mother. See note on the family group sheet for Odin and his wife Frigg.
