Message Board Post:
To answer your question--welcome to the world of Genealogy. This is the exact reason why
you have to be skeptacle about any information you see about genealogy. There is a lot of
information about people and their ancestry and no documentation to back it up, thus
inviting all kinds of errors about the people (maybe by typo, receiving from someone
saying its the truth, going on the premise that what is said is documented, etc). If I
don't have documentation, I don't accept the information as correct. It's part
of shaking trees, you will get wrong info all the time and then you have to try and find
out the truth.
