Umm...as a former genealogical librarian, I would advise not putting too much stock in something like this. The best way to find your family's history is research it yourself. Your local public library and/or genealogical society can help you get started.

Just remember: document, document, document, and do not accept family stories at "face value". Genealogists are generally very helpful people, but they do not suffer fools who do not provide sources for their claims.

I can't tell you how many relatives of Robert E. Lee I met whilst working at a Civil War Battlefield: if he does have that many descendents, when did he ever have time to fight the Civil War? :mrgreen:
