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.

Thomas Joslin's wife Rebecca

Many give the wife of Thomas Joslin, immigrant ancester to Massachusetts, as Rebecca Marlowe, there is no record or support for this. There has been proof given, however, for the maiden name Jude, as cited in an article in a BCG journal. The surname Marlowe is thought to have been one of the manufactured lineages of Anjou. Even though it was discredited years ago many still have placed it in their family trees.
