To readers of this post - please apply caution to the opinions expressed, as these are "sweeping statements" that have no basis in fact and are not supported by meaningful or accurate research (which is the only measure of reliability to a genealogist).
To the poster - with all due respect - when you provide information such as this - please indicate that it is "in my opinion" and that you have not verified the veracity of your statements.
