The thing we absolutely need is source references for everything. Primary sources are best, of course, but in their absence secondary sources are helpful in that they're a starting point for primary source corroboration (though definitely shouldn't be taken as gospel unless they include primary source citations, no matter the reputation or past work of the author). I'm sure you agree that much incorrect material has been posted on the Internet and everywhere else. That material gets perpetuated, and once the viral infection has spread it is impossible to eradicate. If anyone shares any genealogical information with anyone, including family members, and doesn't note/know the original sources, the possibility of errors needs to be noted big bold and in caps on every single page of a document. ----------------- Nancy: I totally agree. All of the biographies I am posting have the source at the bottom of the biography. If there are any that are missing, let me know, as that would be just an oversight on my part. All biographies are from the same book at this point in time.
