    1. Re: [ARGYLL] Beware of Ready-Made Family Histories

    3. Amen, amen, amen, Eileen! We found several IGI family histories that seemed to relate to my husband's mother's family. We were thrilled, until we started comparing them -- they were all suspiciously the same. When we contacted several of the submitters, they all gave the same source. He in turn got pretty huffy about being questioned. He had copied the data from published church histories, not primary sources, but he knew the data were impeccable. Neither he nor anyone else seemed to question twins that were born three months apart, and another brother and sister born six months apart... Back to the old drawing board. Sheila
