Much to my dissmay, I was informed that my descent from the Rev. John HOWSE was not not vallid. Evedently I am not the only one who was miss informed. I have found several family trees on Rootsweb.com that list him with ties to the PLANTAGENETs. Is there anyway I can try a vallidate this? >> Who informed you that John Howse was not valid? Did they offer ANYTHING like a will or historical document that listed children of the individual in question? There are many informed and misinformed websites about many descedents. Few purposefully are meant to decieve. It is probably just a lack of hard documents and one jumping guess too many...often mistaking a "William White" with another "William White". There's a Leonard cousin that insists her line is the Leonard of Kent line...and doesn't want to listen to what documents I've read. You can only type for so long before giving up.
