It is a sad day to see a great researcher such as her not wanting to contribute to such an extensive family history. Facts are facts, lore is lore, but we also need to acknowledge researchers as they are. When reading and trying to depict fact from fiction we need to take into account peoples “NOTES”. Any good researcher knows that we all post and document our own notes. They are just that “notes that we post or annotate to remind ourselves where we left off or what we were thinking at that point in time”….. It is what reminds us of things we want to come back to, to “research further”. The thought of “PROVE ME WRONG” has always been what Coni has thought or wanted from others…. She does fantastic work and tries to credit and document all that she can prove…. If you feel that something is not right, contact her personally, she loves to talk fact from fiction. This is second nature to her. She lives and breaths the lives of our ancestors. So if you come across something email her and say “hey I have proof that this is not right”… She will gladly accept what you say… Believe in your guidance of your ancestors as she has and you will find your way…
Thanks
