Talk:Lora La Mance

Controversy
Lora La Mance's genealogy and historical research has been researched and found to be largely fictional, as it relates to her research on the Greene family. In her book, The Greene Family and Its Branches, she falsified a genetic relationship of the Greenes of Providence and Warwick to the Greenes of Quidnessett (her Greene family). She presents an actual genetic line to the earliest known Greene of Boweridge Hill, Dorset, England, which has no actual documentation. Genetic testing of the Y chromosome of descendants of both families shows that these two Greene families are unrelated.

Lora La Mance also did genealogical research on the Watkins family, to which her daughter wed. She identified a Watkins in that family to have been in the American Revolution but that was actually found to be false and the DAR now rejects applications which cite this Watkin.
