On Anne's profile are listed 3 sources. The third one, Some Prominent Virginia Families, Vol. 1-4. By Louise Pecquet du Bellet. Lynchburg, VA: J.P. Bell Company, 1907. Page 54
has a link to another web site. I went there and found a disturbing number of errors. Since this book was published in 1907, there have been many pieces of research on the facts about Anne and her family. I use a web site run by Daryl Lundy called "The Peerage" I often find him listed as source material in other sites. Usually there are links to take you to his site so you can see the reference. However, when I see the links, there is usually a disclaimer stating that this site is not always reliable. Please look at the sources on Anne's profile, go to the third source and see if you think a disclaimer such as "The Peerage" gets, would be beneficial to Anne's profile. Most people, I've found. once they find a reference in an old book, stop doing further research on that person. Erroneous data passes on by this method. Since, I believe, there is no way to annotate these older books that are digitized on the web, we need to warn the public that not all is true in these cases.
