Another suspicious piece of data. If Betsy Ann was Herb's GGG grandmother, and the data below lists her being born at about 1768, then assuming Herb was born about 1950 (and it's very likely you are younger than that), then... doing a little arithmetic... that would average a little over 36 years between each generation. While not that unusual, it would be surprising that each of the generations had a child at that age. Not impossible, just suspicious (especially considering the other suspicions about this data). There is so much genealogical data passed around the internet, sometimes we need to do a critical assessment of the possibility that it is bogus data. Donald, I don't know where you got this data, but it might be a good idea to double check sources before passing it around as fact. I once saw a family tree in Family Tree Maker's "World Family Tree" listing Pocahontas, and Henry David Thoreau was listed as her grandson. Pretty good... considering she was born in 1595, and he was born in 1817. Let's see... that would have make his parent being born about 111 years before him. I'll bet someone got a kick out of posting this data on the "World Family Tree". Drema Herb Hochstatter wrote: > I agree something is fishy.
