As much as people say they’re this or that is irrelevant; Unless it’s published, documented, and verified- NOT by hearsay, NOT by seeing someone in a tree then copying it as fact, because they are NOT facts UNLESS there are sources to back it up- anyone can put anything in a tree, like a game of never-ending ‘I’m related to this person because I saw it in a tree from someone who saw it in a tree from someone who saw it….so on and so on. YOU must do your own research on each person because names, dates, places are more similar than you know, and if it isn’t verified by census, birth/death documents, any other authentic gov. and/or credentialed institution- then it means nothing.
It’s like a game of phone tree, every time someone passes info to the next, it gets exaggerated, changed, and nothing related to the info the 1st person said.
