Dear List: I have determined that there are sufficient typos and outright errors in the subject GED to warrant checking the database against "Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came to America Before 1700" by Frederick LewisWeis, 7th Edition with Additions and Corrections by Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., Assisted by David Faris. Still and all, the contents of the GED for 12,000 individuals are a very valuable roadmap, and can save you simply enormous amounts of typing time. I will provide one more example of an error to back up my assertion: Please refer to Sir William I Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. He should be individual 3662 in the Royalty GED. In the GED he is said to have died 1219 in "London, England." He in fact died 14 May 1219 in Caversham, Oxfordshire, ENG. I cite Weis (vide supra) page 69, Line 66-27 as my authority. Weis' book can be purchased from the Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., which has an on-line store. Start with: http://www.genealogical.com/default.asp?AFID=1132 Regards, 'Gene Hubbard
