The link for the site is listed below. Joyce http://personal.linkline.com/xymox/fraud/fraud223.htm
So what do we do if we are studying Robinsons and our sources are fraudulent? How will we know and know NOT to use them for our published info? Anybody? From that previously posted link about falsified documents: ROBINSON Family 929.273 A1 no. 556 ROBINSON Family: Genealogical History of the Robinson Family from John Robyson of England in 1374, to Henry and Richard Robinson of Maryland in 1650, to John Robinson of Delaware in 1698, to John M. Robinson, 1878 929.273 A1 no. 556 Rev. Ed; "If you or you know of anyone researching any of the above lines, you are going to have serious problems with your lineage somewhere when you run into a brick wall you can not scale. Not only will the above mentioned "genealogies" steer you into uncharted waters but any other genealogies that 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. If you know of any Anjou sources not listed above, please contact me. ATTENTION GENEALOGY LIBRARIANS : I would be very interested in learning of any genealogical works in your collections that may be credited to Gustave Anjou or his company, AMERICAN CONSUMERS SOCIETY, located at No. 2 West 45th Street, New York. Thank you for your assistance. " I guess we check our sources to see if we have ever used these books or publications, right? Thanks so much Joyce. The site was very interesting and had other names I am researching as well.
