A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees

There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

William Barsham-Dorcester Massachusetts

This is another mistake showing up on trees, that William Barsham, who was probably born around 1610 was William Barsham, b Dec 1588, son of William and Anne Yelverton Barsham, b June 1588. Do you see one obviously glaring error with this information? That William II was born six months after William I, in the same year? I don't know where this one started, or who was the originator of this fantasy, but it's another rotten branch that needs to be lopped off those trees.
