"ATTENTION RESEARCHERS If you or you know of anyone researching any of the below lines, you are going to have serious problems with your lineage somewhere when you run into a brick wall you cannot scale. Not only will the below mentioned "genealogies" steer you into uncharted waters but any other genealogies who followed later and have used this material for their source. Any of your sources that trace back to anything compiled by Gustave Anjou will prove suspect." Reference the complete articles: http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm ...Professional genealogists and serious researchers alike, have been aware of the forgeries and frauds committed by GUSTAVE ANJOU (1863-1942). The sad fact is that Gustave Anjou was not a genealogist, but a forger of genealogical records that have been passed on for years to unwary clients and then through researchers who believed, or wanted to believe, they had a true lineage. They in turn republished the material in their own works and the cycle continues even today. Gustave Anjou produced these "genealogies" for wealthy clients at a price of around $9,000 and the client. needless to say, always received what they wanted. In the words of Mr. Anderson: " A typical Anjou pedigree displays four recognizable features: 1. A dazzling range of connections between dozens of immigrants to New England; for example, connections far beyond what may be seen in pedigrees produced by anyone else; 2. Many wild geographical leaps, outside the normal range of migration patterns; 3. An overwhelming number of citations to documents that actually exist, and actually include what Anjou says they include; and 4. Here and there an invented document, without citation, which appears to support the many connections noted under item 1 above...."
