I don't have just a page of acknowledgements in my books. My books
have HUGE bibliographies where EVERY published source that I 've
consulted in the preparation of my books is fully cited and GRATEFULLY
acknowledged. And my bibliography continues to expand and grow!

Speaking of which, have you ever lifted one of my discoveries and
added it to your database without attribution? Just so you'll know, I
already know the answer to this question. So don't fudge. What I
want to know if why you did it.

Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah

Now Richardson is spewing off in his usually smarmy, and most hypocritical,
fashion about "fully" and "gratefully" acknowledging his sources in his
books.

One important and illuminating discussion that took place in sgm was about
the Longford family of Derbyshire, that Rosie Bevan had worked on and
published the results in an excellent serial article in _Foundations_, vol.
1.

Richardson's account of this Longford family is based on Rosie's work
(_Plantagenet Ancestry_, pages 460-461), yet NOWHERE is her name to be
found. Nor will the curious reader find her name OR HER PUBLISHED ARTICLE
cited in his bibliography. How could Richardson have so accidentally
expunged any reference to Rosie Bevan, one of the most valued and expert
contributors who has ever participated in this newsgroup? Let him explain
THAT...And let him utter a humble apology for his oversight in using her
work without due acknowledgment.

As to the Walter Aston matter:

Subject: Re: "Order of the Merovingian Dynasty"
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007> As for the "former" Walter Aston line, new evidence
has surfaced in
recent time. The Aston line has now been fully reinstated.
That is a bold statement, contradicting a scholarly article published by

Paul Reed in a major genealogical journal, with sound reasoning as evaluated
here by Nat Taylor.

Since Richardson demands citation of sources or documents, how about even
the slightest clue from the lion aka packhorse (aka donkey) of sgm as to
what type of source was used in "fully" (not to say "gratefully")
reinstating the origin and ancestry of this immigrant?

I'm sure I'm guilty of that. However, unlike some, I am quite willing
to both acknowledge and correct any item I've lifted without the
proper acknowledgement or correction. So present your evidence.

Recte: "...acknowledgement or CITATION."

Your timeline doesn't work out too well. Rosie's article, part one,
appeared in Foundations 1:4 which according to the FMG website was
published in July 2004. Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry was
published in 2004 and if memory serves came out in June, 2004 (June
30, 2004 according to Amazon.com). So, how could Doug cite to an
article that hadn't been published yet? I'm assuming the book
(Richardson's) went to press say March/April of 2004.

You have got to be kidding. The Longford family as detailed in Richardson's
book was based not on his own independent work but on information that Rosie
had generously shared with the newsgroup.

You must know that thanks are frequently given to colleagues who have
assisted the author from as-yet unpublished research, often referring to the
journal where this is expected to appear in a future issue, if progressed to
that point when the work finished earlier went to press.

That is the scholarly norm that I assume you would observe in the same
circumstances. I don't know why you would now post such disingenuous
remarks, having the appearance of an attempt to exculpate Richardson, but
I've already stated my opinion of some others who have taken a more explicit
line of unwarranted indulgence of his offenses.

I should have written "information that Rosie and others had generously
shared with the newsgroup". The research was a collaboration by her with
Mardi Carter and MichaelAnne Guido.

The giveaway was a mistaken date appearing in a post to sgm from Mardi, that
was copied into Richardson's book. He didn't even bother to go over the
ground for himself.

I know that some people haibtually added markers into posts on subjects that
interested Richardson, but I don't think Mardi would have made a deliberate
error, so this was just a chance slip that revealed Richardson's
exploitation of others in one of countless such incidents over the years.
