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.

Pierrepont lineage in royal lineage books

Leave the royal lineage books on the shelf. They are rife with errors. I would suspect due to all the fraudulent lineages by Gustav Anjou. The lineage that links James Pierpont directly to the Pierrepont who married a Cavendish is crap. While James does descend from the same family, NOT that branch. I'm trying now to find the link, listed in several old sources, including British sources that link James to Sir George Pierrepont. It looks more promising.
