Billiou/Bilyeu: Connection based on bad data?
Started moving my Bilyeu files from geocities(which is closing free pages this summer) and decided to do some new research since there seems to be so many new databases online.I was amazed (shocked!) at what I found, as it the early sources we quoted to prove a relationship, appear to be based on faulty research, and the only descendant of Pierre Billiou of Staten Is. who is also an ancestor of the Bilyeus who can be proven at this time are Pierre's son Isaac, Isaac's son, Peter--and MAYBE--Isaac's grandson, Peter. Without proving him, there's no connection to our Bilyeus. I need suggestions, comments, questions and HELP with this project from serious researchers who understand the need for solid evidence. Please take a look at my "under construction" new Bilyeu report and let me know what you think.
