POSTED BY MICHAEL ALLISON ON USGENFORUM POSEY SURNAME > There appears to be some solid evidence that some of the individuals in the > pedgigree were fictitious, others real people. Evidence has been presented > that one of the co-called nobles in the pedigree was actually a stableman > instead in his "real life". One researcher, apparently quite accomplished, > found that a parent and child in the pedigree were indeed real people, but > their factual lives were separated by almost two centuries and obviously > couldn't have been parent/child. > > I think the huge gaping hole in the pedigree has been known for quite a > while, even before it became common knowledge that the rest of the pedigree > was a sham.
