It's a bit silly not doing any of your own research. I was given pages of info a while back only to find most of it wrong. Someone had just picked up bits and pieces of a name and thrown it together. On the other hand,I didn't know my father's side till just recently and put a search for his mother. Found her then several people gave me a stack of rellies. All correct,too. You can be lucky.

I see your point, Elizabeth, but I always follow up any info. I have been given with thorough checks at some point. Sometimes I ask for help, as I did yesterday, just for that final bit of info. to fill in a gap. So I guess what I'm saying is you must always double check any info. you get from any source. Good point. Susan
