The former appears to have lived entirely in the 17th century and the latter lived into the early years of the 18th century. I have entered every event in their lives backed by the source where that event is found. I have uploaded digital copies of the most important source documents. There are no other records that have been found for these men in the research done over the last 120 years by countless people, amateur and paid professionals. <br /><br />George Calvert is an end-of-line person based on the state of research as of today, however on average about every two or three weeks he is given parents, whose names were first published in two articles from the first two decades of the 20th century that allow our lineage to be traced back to Lord Baltimore. Each time the parents are added by a different contributor. And then the exact dates and places start to fill the blanks for which there is no information available.<br /><br />One person told me concerning another relationship issue in this family a generation later, he did not care what the sources indicated he would hold on to his cherished beliefs until the end of the world and he was going to construct his version of our family in another part of FamilySearch Family Tree, not linked to the area we are working in.<br /><br />Alas, I suppose the only thing to do is to, yet again, unlink the parents and provide the 167 word rationale that I use as a canned response.<br />Richttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749020915572612354noreply@blogger.com
