               The Case of Falsified Records:



               There is another problem found when doing genealogical research. Every once
               in a while a researcher will run across records of alleged facts which are totally
               fictitious. It happened to me.


                                                                       Being naive about genealogical
                                                                       research and not being satisfied
                                                                       with the quality of records I was
                                                                       finding,    I   thought     I  could
                                                                       discover      something        other
                                                                       researchers had not found about
                                                                       the  FOYs     if  I  could  do  some

                                                                       research in Yorkshire, England,
                                                                       the place where         some FOY
               researchers claimed FRANCIS met and married SERINA MILES. Oh, I did not
               go there myself. Instead, I searched to find some expert there who could uncover
               the story of the FOYs in Europe for me.


               In a major genealogical magazine, Everton’s Genealogical Helper,  I found an ad.

               I checked up on MR BARRON and found  he was a respected member of The
               Association of Genealogist and Record Agents in England and was experienced
               and had good references.



               I contacted MR BARRON and told him everything I knew about the theory of
               the FOYs fleeing       France to    England    and then    to America.     We   reached    an
               agreement and he began his search.
