    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/iUI.2ACIB/693.734.1033.2.1.1.3.2.1.3.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks, I will certain look at your on-line data base. But, regarding the "sources" you mentioned, I am completely conversant with the few that your source listed don't contain all of the conclusions attributed to them - far from it, and your presumably professional genealogist should have so informed you if he/she was worth the money you paid him/her. The original, legitimate sources that say anything directly about the first few generations of Virginia Chandlers are actually relatively few - many often sited sources are actually secondary (i.e., copies or extracted from original sources) or tiertiary sources (i.e., third-hand or worse). Frequently, they become "embellished" in repetition, but a lot of the misinformation arises from suppositions presented as fact without caveats or admissions distinguishing facts from guesses. Anyway, 5 minutes with my articles and CFA "Newsletter" articles and you will see the difference between junk genealogy and real research. If you have additional questions after reading these sources, please post more queries. JC
