Hi everyone, Maybe some of the information about my ggg-grandfather's siblings will ring a bell. Patrick Armstrong b. 1802 married Eleanor Finnigan 1826 in Cavan, Ireland. Children: John b. 1822, Samuel b. 1834, Patrick b. 1835, Bernard b. 1836, Mary b. 1843, John (sic) b. 1847, and Francis b. 1856. The first 3 children were born in Cavan, Ireland; Bernard in Schuylkill County, PA, and the rest of the children in Philadelphia, PA. Most of the men were R.R. workers. The family was Catholic. Later in the week I'll send out other information. Jack ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Hi everyone, Maybe some of the information about my ggg-grandfather's siblings will ring a bell. John Armstrong, b. 1804 married Anne Gallagher c. 1837 probably in Ireland. Children: Thomas b 1838, Charles b. 1843, Rosanna b. 1846, Frances b. 1848, John b. 1849, and Mary b. 1850. The children, with the possible exception of Thomas, were born in Pennsylvania. The family lived in New Bern, Berks County, Pennsylvania shortly after their arrival to the USA in April 1838 and moved to Philadelphia, PA sometime after they helped build the railroad in 1842. There may be other children but my record stops at 1850. Later in the week I'll send out other information. 98 degrees in south Jersey. Stay cool y'all, Jack ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

FYI valuable information for all who are doing genealogical work. From fraudulent genealogies: http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm When ever you receive a piece of information, ask yourself "Where did this come from?". Make it a point to source everything back to its original source. If an item is not sourced, you have nothing but a PROBABLE and you must not follow that line back further until you can prove what you have. It is sad to say that we all have spent much time researching lines that were never ours in the first place. Also another point. NO FAMILY HISTORY IS A SOURCE. Only the primary source information within the History may be considered as useable. Most Family Histories are unacceptable as source material for most all Societies and Organizations. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- First let us all understand something about Gustave ANJOU (1863-1942) born in Sweden,who after serving a prison term there for forgery, came to this country in 1890. ANJOU turned out many "genealogies" for those who could pay his fee of $9,000 and up. His report took aprox. 3 weeks and included a coat of arms, surname history etc There was no  great money in producing a printed genealogy so ANJOU found an easier way to become very wealthy. It has been estimated that there may be as many as 2,000 different lines that have been tainted by ANJOU alone. The reports were in manuscript form and were only for his client. There was never any thought at this time of our history that everything in the "genealogy" could be verified and since the more he produced, the more his fees. While each of the completed "genealogies" would lead to additional clients through the false lines he reported. In the 1930's ,when the Genealogy Bubble burst, he produced many lines and sold them by mail at reduced prices. So there are many out there especially those of the English common names and it appears as if he found the German and Dutch lines were difficult for outsiders to trace so he excelled with them. All of the "genealogies" were written around existing records that were gathered from the client and through obvious sources that could be proven. However, ANJOU then placed wills, births, deaths etc. that were his INVENTIONS, into various lines and then continued up through yet another line and again many proven sources. A client was so overwhelmed with data that the false entries were accepted as the truth without a question. It wasn't until later years that it was determined that ALL of Anjou's works were fraudulent and each and every entry must be searched and proven through original sources. At times he would connect lines throughout Europe by creating his own parishes and then using that as a source for wills, births, deaths etc., all false. He would also list non existing church records he "found" within established true parishes, all FORGED. Now we can trace those records. At the time they were introduced it was most difficult. We must remember that everything Anjou worked on was done with the purpose of defrauding someone. This man not only invented Parishes in Europe, but used them for his forged wills, marriages, births etc. If any of you come across anything written by an ANJOU, please call it to our attention so we may inform those of you whose lines it touches and then  you in turn can trace down the problem entries. We also are interested in learning of any works authored by the following 19th Century  "experts" who are all proven dubious sources. Not on the scale of ANJOU,  but never less highly unquotable.
