GEDCOM Note

Child Linkage Is Questionable

The parents of Richard Higgins L7XR-MSB are not well established. While an Edward Higgins and Julian Meals did have a child Richard Higgins, it has never been shown to be this Richard Higgins. Similarly, the connection to Robert Higgins has been tainted by the use of evidence found by Gustav Anjou, a known genealogical forger. It appears the profile of Robert Edward Higgins MNQ3-J71 is a combination of these two stories.

I am not at all sure if the spouses are the same or not with different entries. Richard is the name of the child for both women. The wives are surely the same. Time differences are close but I will leave the record as is recorded so that the ordinances will show as having been done. 2003 LAW
