Talk:John Rocke

Possibly unreliable source
I'm checking out the source: landed family blogspot. To my humble opinion it looks rather reliable. But I'm not sure. --Dick Bos (talk) 16:10, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

My request at Reliable_sources/Noticeboard brings some interesting discussion. Of course there is reason to be careful. But there are reasons to consider this website as a serious business, as well. The simple fact that it is hosted on blogspot should - in my opinion - not be the only criterium. The final conclusion at 17:38 to use other, better sources is rather optimistic. If I had had other, better sources, I would have used them, of course. But I'll keep searching (see below etc). It may take a few days.... And perhaps someone else is better equipped to find sources than I am, down here in Holland, away from possibly available written sources. --Dick Bos (talk) 19:24, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Work in progress
I'll soon continue working on this lemma, for instance: --Dick Bos (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
