I found this website and thought you all would be interested in this information. http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud223.htm It talks about a man named Gustav Anjou who basically "made up" genealogical lineages for his clients for money and there are many genealogists who followed his works and re-published his information without verifying his information. I guess that this emphasizes the importance of using information you find as leads and finding the information at the first source of events.
