    3. In today's Tri City Herald, 2/19/06, is an article by Terence Day who writes a regular genealogy column. Today's title: "Beware of fraudulent genealogies." There's a web page called "More Fraudulent Lineages" at http://personal.linkline.com/xymox/fraud/anjousbu.htm A man who went by the name Gustave Anjou, b 1863, d 1942 wrote at least 305 fraudulent genealogies for which he was well paid (to write true genealogies). His real name was Gustaf Ludvig Ljungberg from Sweden. I found 18 surnames on the list which are family names I search. These fraudulent lines may not be my lines, but it does mean I will have to be extra careful (as we are suppose to be anyhow), and not incorporate any of this fraudulent information into my data. This false info has doubtlessly crept into many genealogies, even into the genealogies of people whose research I trust. Some of my names listed are: Park, Brown, Bryant, Dent, Harris, Holliday, Jack/Jacques, Lewis, Miller, Richardson, and Smith (several lines). And for Myrna: Ormond. Thought you might be interested. Check out the above link. Wanda For Freedom's Sake, Love God. Love America.
