With regards to the comments on Jacob Remy's ancestors that recently appeared on the list. In a 1961 article in the Virginia Gazette, Charles Hamlin, a professional genealogist, said It has been established by an eminent genealogist in France that Jacques (Jacob) Ramey married .......He then goes on to give the lineage of Jacob Remy that is found in B. W. Rhamy's 1942 book Remy Family In America. B. W. Rhamy offers no proof on the veracity of the lineage, and Hamlin's unnamed eminent genealogist is also insufficient. I do not accept Jacob Remy's French lineage as commonly published as I have never seen satisfactory proof of its veracity. Remy Family In America contains hundreds of errors. The most common is the assignment of a child to the wrong parents. I have also seen birthdates off by as much as 30 years, and the same marriage record assigned to two different couples. The book can only be used as a research guide. I personally have two Ramey lines, and both of them are butchered in the book. Several generations of my Montgomery County, KY, Ramey lineage are not even in the book. Seldom does the book cite a reference to support a conclusion. Although the book contains a lot of information, it has done a great disservice to the amateur genealogist, i.e., one who does not recognize the necessity of using primary documents to prove their facts. Furthermore, the erroneous information in the book is being widely disseminated via the web. Although getting the facts to support a lineage can be time consuming and difficult, it is rewarded by the satisfaction of knowing the lineage is correct. Rick Ramey Forest, Virginia

Thank you Rick...... You are the pro on this line and it is good to hear from you... thought that there for a while that we wouldn't .. :) I can prove my line to Jacob the immigrant but not beyond..... once we cross the pond it is a different story...... and I have never been able to find anything.... They eat up the postage coupons that we send and that is about it.... Hope that all is well with you..... we haven't heard for quite a while.
