You do understand that it's very common for people to claim royal lines based upon flimsy evidence? It's an extremely hurtful thing to mislead people who take this sort of thing quite seriously. When they find out their "royal line" has no firm basis in fact, they're embarassed and upset--they feel they've been taken advantage of.

Proof of Robert Abell's children should be in the probate records of MA. I've checked and there's no probate record naming any of the Abell children apart from Mary. The record does state that Abell had more children, but it doesn't give their names. Apparently you do have such a source, so I'm asking you to do the honorable thing and give the citation. If you can't supply any source in MA, can you at least provide the name of the herald you spoke to? I'd like to talk to him or her. That's fair enough, isn't it?

Do you have any idea how many people are duped by fraudulent pedigrees? Do you know how much money has been lost? I'm not accusing you of dishonesty. I'm asking that you share your information. OK?
