Fraudulent Lineages
U...@aol.com
The following information was compiled by Mr. Robert Charles Anderson, CG,
FASG of 2 Fenway, Derry, NH 03038, and published in Volume 19, Numbers 1 & 2,
1991 of the Genealogical Journal of the Utah Genealogical Association, PO Box
1144, Salt Lake, Utah 84110. The title of the article is; We Wuz Robbed!
Mr. Anderson is the Director of the Great Migration Study Project sponsored
by the New England Historic Genealogical Society. He is a Certified
Genealogist, a fellow of the American Society of Genealogists, a fellow of
the Utah Genealogical Association, and has published numerous articles in The
New England Historical and Genealogical Register, The American Genealogist,
the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, and The Genealogist, as well as
the Genealogical Journal.
Professional genealogists and serious researchers alike, have been aware of
the forgeries and frauds committed by GUSTAVE ANJOU (1863-1942) and we of
this Society believe this material should be brought to the attention of all
who may come in contact with any the publications listed below.
The sad fact is that Gustave Anjou was not a genealogist, but a forger of
genealogical records that have been passed on for years to unwary clients and
then through researchers who believed, or wanted to believe, they had a true
lineage. They in turn republished the material in their own works and the
cycle continues even today.
Gustave Anjou produced these "genealogies" for wealthy clients at a price of
around $9,000 and the client. needless to say, always received what they
wanted.
In the words of Mr. Anderson;
" A typical Anjou pedigree displays four recognizable features:
1. A dazzling range of connections between dozens of immigrants to New
England; for example, connections far beyond what may be seen in pedigrees
produced by anyone else:
2. Many wild geographical leaps, outside the normal range of migration
patterns;
3. An overwhelming number of citations to documents that actually exist, and
actually include what Anjou says they include; and
4. Here and there an invented document, without citation, which appears to
support the many connections noted under item I above".
The above mentioned publication is one that belongs in your genealogy
library. I urge you all to read the detailed account of this article and the
five other genealogy fraud articles that appear with it. Included is another
detailed article about Gustave Anjou's life and forgery methods, entitled
Gustave, We Hardly Knew Ye: by Gordon L. Remington, editor of the
Genealogical Journal.
Please do not contact the Society in regards to copies of these articles. We
will honor existing copyright laws owned by the publisher and do not
distribute copies of their work.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Anderson for bringing these facts to our
attention and also to the Genealogical Journal for their courage by
publishing the material.
The article further states;
"The following 109 "genealogies" are found at the Family History Library in
Salt Lake City, Utah. All but those marked with an asterisk are cataloged
under Gustave Anjou, H. Anjou, or M. Anjou in the Author-Title Catalog. Only
three of the "genealogies" were actually printed, the works on the FREEMAN,
BLAISDELL, and SHAPLEIGH families -and only the FREEMAN was actually
published by Anjou- the other two were later publishings of his original
typescript.
Anjou's genealogy on the TONE family was later incorporated into Dr. Frank
Jerome Tone's History of the Tone Family (Niagara Falls, NY: the author,
1944) FHL 929.173 T612t, which is not included in this list. The unprinted
genealogies were all bound typescripts or carbons of the original, and even
the unsigned ones are recognizable as being Anjou's creations-invariably
beginning with a history of the surname. Since four of Anjou's works were
found by looking at films that contained catalogues references, there may be
others lurking somewhere in the collection."
In continuation;
"Six of the catalog entries under Anjou's name, however, are to what appear
to be extracts of documents or original source material not organized or
typed us as formal "genealogies." These entries are marked with a !. Whether
or not they can be really be attributed to Anjou is not known. Excluding them
leaves 103 compiled "genealogies" by Anjou in the Family History Library. In
1927 Anjou published a catalogue of 192 "genealogies", leaving 89
"genealogies" unaccounted for by this list."
The numbers given after the title are the call numbers at the Family History
Library.

ATTENTION RESEARCHERS
If you or you know of anyone researching any of the above lines, you are
going to have serious problems with your lineage somewhere when you run into
a brick wall you can not scale. Not only will the above mentioned
"genealogies" steer you into uncharted waters but any other genealogies that
followed later and have used this material for their source. Any of your
sources that trace back to anything compiled by Gustave Anjou will prove
suspect.
Always optimistic--Dave
Francisco Antonio Doria
The Portuguese and Brazilian Gustave Anjou used the alias Dom Tivisco de
Nasáo Zarco y Colonna. His true name was Manuel de Carvalho Athayde,
father of Sebastião José de Carvalho e Mello, marquess of Pombal.
His forgerieshave derailed many a pedigree.

origin. Gordon L. Remington, in an article in _Genealogical Journal_ 19:59-76
(1991), shows that he was one Gustav Ludvig Ljungberg, a bastard born 1
December 1863 in Katarina Parish, Stockholm. He married Anna Maria Anjou and
took his wife's surname as his own. Of course his frauds still deceive many,
but I think Chico will be relieved to know that his ancestry was not Portuguese
but Swedish. The article contains further particulars of Anjou's family and
his genealogical frauds. I agree that a book on genealogical frauds would be
worthwhile.

Are we sure that he didn't forge his birth record? ;-) Seriously, I think
that what Chico was saying (he can speak for himself, of course) was that
Anjou had a counterpart in the field of Portuguese and Brazilian genealogy
(not that they were the same person, or connected in any way other than
their involvement in disreputable genealogical practices).

R2D2 has just proven, once again, [as if additional proof were required]
that he can't read for smersh ---- and with a Ph.D. from Columbia and a
law degree from Harvard to boot ---- so he says.
How would you like it if this fellow were defending you in court in a
serious lawsuit? Could he read, understand and interpret the documents
correctly? Would you bet your life on it, or your net worth?
Appalling.
Perhaps he's hung over from last night's celebrations as well. Drinking
cheap champagne again, I imagine ---- "Andre" no doubt.
Instructions To R2D2:
1. Bonehead English Course Required, Immediately.
2. Take Same ASAP. Attend same class as the goose, at Columbia
University, if you so desire.
3. Report Grade.
4. Await Further Instructions.
5. Do Not Post Again Until Cleared For Posting.

>Let's not forget the boy wonder, Thomas Chatterton.
This happens all the time. About three years ago a pretty good
genealogist came to me with a newly discovered branch of the Mortemart
ducal family which had moved to Brazil in the late 19th century, or so he
said. He gave me a booklet that showed how those Mortemarts intermarried
with one of our ducal families and promised to give me more data.
Problems crept up immediately:
1 - The Gotha didn't mention that branch.
2 - None of them had `Victurnien' among his first names, a prefix so
typical of the Mortemarts.
3 - Dates didn't quite fit.
An expert, also a relation of the Brazilian ducal family produced the
duke's estate, with no mention to the Mortemart descent or kinship.
Then, incredibly, a birth certificate was produced - a 1996 transcript,
with all legal seals, stamps and rubber stamps - where it was said that a
little Brazilian Mortemart had been baptized with the late Emperor's
daughter as a godmother. That did it: we uncovered a network of forgers
through that obviously legal but untruthful document. (I mean, it had
been certified by the officer in charge of transcripts, but only
contained false data.)
This happens all the time.

Pathetic.
He is using the email address:
He is responsible for his own email address. He has spelled
"Portcullis" incorrectly. Silly Harvard Bugger
If he can't possibly spell it correctly because "portcullis" is already
taken, or too long, or for some other technical reason, he should dump
it and get a new email address.

The fact that he is still with AOL should tell you a good deal about his
intelligence as well.

Thomas Chatterton was one of the most remarkable characters in the history
of English literature. He was and early and important figure in the
so-called Gothic revival in English poetry, a precursor of the romantics
such as Shelley, Keats, and Byron . Most of his work, however, was presented
as the work of Thomas Rowley, a 15th century priest. It is to modern eyes
obviously a forgery (using words unknown in English in the 15th century, for
instance). He also cooked up numerous 15th-century documents.
But Chatterton, while a forger, was also a genius and his work had enormous
influence on the far better known names that came after him. Keats dedicated
"Endymion" to him, Shelley mentions him in "Adonais," Leoncavallo wrote an
opera about him.
Oh, and he committed suicide at the age of eighteen. Yes, eighteen. Not many
teenagers rate a full page and a half in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Yes, according to EB, which says the play is "absurdly inaccurate" (a sort
of literary "Braveheart," I guess). Leoncavallo apparently used the play as
the basis of his opera. I've never heard note one of it. I'd have to check
to see if it's even been recorded.
