This site was sent to me by another list member, You might want to check out the info that it has about some fraudulent pedigrees and family trees. This is good info to know while researching for your ancestors. Just wanted you all to know about this. List: Fraudulent pedigrees compiled by Gustave Anjou are listed here (scroll down first web page link) http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/fraud/fraud.htm If any of your source material contains references to his works, or family histories compiled from his works, then you are more than likely on the wrong track. These 'genealogies' have made their way into libraries, repositories, AND the Family History Library. Be sure to read the introduction on each of the three main web pages. It is sobering material. This is one example why every 'fact' gathered from compiled material (read web site, book, maillist, etc.) should be accompanied by a source citation....so we can check it out for ourselves!
