Excuse me grabbing this thread.
I have a few concerns:
Does the Colonel provide authentic documentation? He doesn’t state he provides any documentation.
The Colonel states on book sites, he “fills” in with his thoughts what may have happened.
He states his historical fiction is “based” on a true story.
As an FYI, I’d like to know where and when his commission of Colonel was appointed?
There are many stories (ancestral are rampant) on the internet passed down without official documentation, these are hearsay. Yes, some documentation may be missing due to 100’s of years history, but if other documents from those times are available, then other ones most likely exist as well, if they are indeed factual.
Unfortunately, anyone can say whatever they want, but to be accurate one needs to research and only post facts, with documentation so no misguided stories about one’s lineage are stated as fact.
I want to know about my family, but I want the correct family to which I belong, and factual, good or bad.
