Relatively speaking
* By DORIS MCMANIS CAMDEN Guest Writer John W. Heisey is a nationallyknown genealogist whose writings and seminars are known to most genealogists. In a recent article in his “Genealogy Week” column in “Antique/Tri-State Trader,” Mr. Heisey referred to an article he had read that shocked him and made him boil. He stated that a young man had invented a story about a friend’s nonexistent ancestor and accompanied it with a photograph for a Christmas gift. Understand that this was all fiction, both he story and the photograph. Others wanted him to provide them with the same thing. So the young fellow began turning out fake photographs and stories by the dozen, for money, of course. The tales were sordid dreamed-up misrepresentations of riverboat gamblers, murderers, bank robbers, unwholesome ladies and more. As Mr Heisey further stated, the people who accepted these things didn’t care about their families, and they are poking fun at what were probably honest, ambitious people unknown to the fiction writer. This is undermining humans. No one’s family should be ridiculed, and as Mr. Heisey pointed out, this very thing could start a trend that would cause non-normal behavior in young people rather than providing the proper type of conduct to follow. Remember if this trend continues, it might be your photograph hung on someone’s wall with an untrue story of the crimes and evils you committed. , Mr. Heisey asked that if genealogists see something like ( this at a friend’s home they speak out and let them know how detrimental this is to all families. In his exact words, “Point out how improper it is to malign those long-gone souls who had posed so proudly for their rare photographs.” The public should be warned constantly about the companies, not individuals, that send the advertisements for ready-made family histories for $39.95 or so, and there are many of them . Just rationalizing, how could any firm have the family history of everyone in the country, all ready worked up to send out upon receipt of your check? It takes genealogists years and years of searching and letter writing to put a family together, and then no one ever finishes. If you are tempted to buy, ask a true genealogist, and you will be glad you kept your money. Genealogy is going to be hard enough in the future without adding these problems. With women maintaining their maiden names though married, adoption papers with adoptive parents,
