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.

Horatio Gates Somerby

If you have a family line attributed to this man, such as those of the Brownes of Watertown, the Blakes, Whitneys or Hookers, remove them from your tree. The Blakes, Whitneys and Brownes have been completely discredited and the Hooker line doesn't agree with extant records in the area of Thomas Hooker's family. It's too bad that the Somerby genealogies are still circulating and still offered for sale.
