    3. Dear Beedlove Reserchers, We all have to be very careful about perpetuating these unproved Breedlove myths, which have no basis in facts. They end up on Personal Web sites, or worse, in a printed family history. Once these "facts" are in place, other people read them and think they must be true. We cannot always find a vital record to prove our lines. But when an assertion is made that such in such is the name of someone's father, mother, sibling [whatever], there should be SOME REASON for asserting this--and that you read it on a web site or in an undocumented family history, is no reason at all. Lacking primary or secondary proof, when you say that someone died on or about a certain date & in a certain place, WHY do you believe this? From the available records at the time of the ancestor's life & death, list your reasons. Let's try to leave our children a true record of our family. Marilyn Owen
