Bedingfield/Bacon

Legg inn av Gjest » 06 okt 2005 11:28:54

This is a repost as the original post has disappeared.

From the ancestral file of familysearch.org

Peter Bedingfield (about 1320 - 1371), son of Edmund and Maude (Mabel)
Hempall (Hemenhale), married about 1347 Margaret Bacon (about 1324 -
1380), daughter of Thomas. They had 2 sons Thomas (about 1348 - about
1380, married 1373 Alice de Norton) and James (born about 1350, married
about 1384 Alice de Fleming).

Also, Peter de Bedingfield (born about 1298), married about 1333
Margaret Bacon (born about 1312), daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth.
They had a daughter Katherine (about 1324 - after 1374, married John
Berney). I know these dates are strange as Katherine is born about 9
years before her parents marriage and when her mother is about 12.

Is this another case of duplication on the ancestral file? Are
Katherine, Thomas and James brothers and sister?

Where do I look on the internet for better information?

Thanks

Ancestral File was: Bedingfield/Bacon

Hello to the list.

The Ancestral File is made up entirely from patron submissions AND
Medieval Families Unit submissions. Unfortunately, it became so
error-ridden that it was closed (3?) years ago. I'm sorry to say that it's
only as reliable as the people who submitted it -- Aunt Martha, who was a
careful researcher, or Aunt Dithery, who submitted hearsay, long strings
of estimates and ANYTHING she could find in print. (If there's a real
"Aunt Dithery" out there, I certainly don't mean YOU.)

I had great hopes for the Medieval Families Unit submissions -- a splendid
undertaking. Unfortunately, some of the records they used were inaccurate
-- taken from printed volumes, apparently. I almost wept when I realized
how faulty some of the entries were. Now I use Ancestral File only as
clues to finding more information -- I do not cite it as a source.

The International Genealogical Index, IGI, is roughly half patron
submissions -- caveat lector -- and roughly half controlled
extractions.

EXTRACTIONS have a good degree of reliability: There _IS_ a source, you
can order microfilm to read for yourself, and two people have transcribed
the records which were then compared and evaluated.

Faced with a long list of IGI entries for "John Smith," often you will
see "abt" or <1570> or 1570 -- these usually are patron submissions.
If you examine only the entries that say "Oct 1570" or "6 Oct 1570"
you may find both "extracted" and "patron" (or "by a member of the LDS
Church") entries -- the key word is in a sentence at the end of the entry.

Hope this is useful. Cheers, Dolly in Maryland USA
