Somewhere "out there" is a CD put together by a second cousin for a meeting of all the people with the family name that he had organised ............. I've heard there were about 100 people there, so there might be as many as 100 CDs around.
I haven't checked every single tree on ancestry, but I don't think my important mis-information has made it on there ............. yet!
He was the grandson of my father's eldest brother, but his parents had basically cut themselves off from cousins.
I don't know where he got his information but I was given a copy of the CD about 2 years later by my cousins in Australia ............. his 5 aunts
My father was nowhere to be seen, my brother was married to my mother, and I was their child ............. all birth dates correct.
He'd obviously not noticed that brother was about 10 years old when I was born while Mum was 36.
He had a One Name Family Study on the ONS site, and I tried to contact him through that ...............remember, no contact with any of his dad's cousins, so I had no idea where he lived.
He removed the study from ONS, and I heard that he had told someone that he had given up family research.
After a long while, I discovered that he had "acquired" much of the information in his ONS from a relative .......... all that work was correct, but the "culprit" had no idea about researching.
