Some Nuts and Bolts of Genealogy

So I was searching the family tree and along the way I found a few nuts...

The oldest of which was the mother of Osiris, of course. She was the daughter of Tefnut and Shu who married her brother, Geb. Shu married his sister Tofnut as well, and their grandchildren, Osiris and Isis married each other too. I mean, at the time there weren't a lot of kids their age around, you know...

I also ran across Berdor Kolbeinsson Bolt, who was the son of Kolbein, and the father of Sigurd Berdorson Bolt, and the grandfather of Gunnar Sigurdson. Berdor was born about 1300ish. Berdor was also the father of Kolbein Berdorsson Bolt, i Thorlaksgaard, and his half-brother, Sigurd Kolbeinsson Bolt, på Løken. If you're thinking this sounds a lot like a Norse myth, I agree.
