Of course, I can't beat David, 9th cousin, 1 removed.

Unknowns. Danger, do not Enter. Or The Great Fire Of London. Lost Records.?.

Are Family Records deliberately confused to eliminate Convict Ancestry? Who has ultimate responsibility for ensuring proper Registration ?  Surely David new Solomon was his father and all his Ancestors back to Adam and Eve.? And yet we are faced with Unknowns.  And so-called Brick Walls.  In Countries where there were no Penal Settlements of Convicts, Would the records show the same per-centage of Unknowns?  I don,t think so. In the African/American Community, do we have similar problems with Unknown Lineage.?. With Respect.   kenneth.
