I'll amen that. Our Hendricks DNA project has proven 17 years of paid research by a professional and reputable genealogist wrong 3 out of 4 times in regard to who is who in SC Hendricks families. So when you take someone else's word even in a book do it with caution. I spent 25 years here in VA documenting from official records who our John Major family really was in SC chapter and verse from VA to NC to SC and people still keep copying lineages from old family histories without regard to authenticating the source. Pathetic! God Bless.

I've seen some that are very faulted and undocumented. The best way to research your roots is to do your own digging and not rely on what others have done.
