How you came to that conclusion is beyond me. Everyone I know on this board encourages you (rhetorical) to research and document your ancestry.

You, like so many others, came to this board with a conslusion about your ancestors and sought a way to prove it.

As diligent researchers we would be totally remiss to play that game with you. It is incumbent upon genealogist who seek to assist others to direct you in the path of documentation.

Making a pronouncement about your ancestors and then asking genealogists to help you prove what is really an unknown is just silly.

All I have ever asked of anyone is to do some real research, be objective and don't make claims without documentation and expect acceptance.

You've just got your feelers hurt because no body besides Trena will mollycoddle you. Go do some real research and if you have an interest, bring it back here and share what you find. An extra set of eyes may help you through an empasse.

Your suggestion that our defense of standard genealogical methodology and our own ethnic identity is somehow tied to money is insulting. No one here has said that and to my knowledge no one here would.

Have a pleasant weekend.
