Jenn mentioned a couple of days ago the importance of this genealogy. It definitely lends validity to the Bible. The Bible becomes more than a story or bunch of stories. I am guessing that there are non-Biblical sources which also support this genealogy. I am sure it has come in to play for skeptics who have tried to prove or disprove scripture.
And you do have to see how impressive it is. I could not name even name one person beyond my great grandmother!
The prayer of Jabez is embedded in this genealogy. I remember a number of year ago when The Prayer of Jabez was a top selling book. I might still own a copy....

Did you ever find out if there were other sources who confirm all of the geneology?
