Purpose of being on Wiki
I have spent years now researching and reading the history of England with the Plantagenet/Tudor dynasties as my main focus. Over the years my focus has become smaller and has landed upon Henry VIII's last wife and queen consort, Katherine Parr.

While on a public family tree site I noticed that people were starting to copy each others trees, not checking sources or even the dates of the people in question. I saw people who did not have children suddenly have children that linked back to the home person(the person who made the tree). For example, Margaret Tudor of England who married James of Scotland is on someones tree married to a person with the last name of Tilley making her children Tilley's instead of the next generation of Stuarts, as us historical people know. You then have people such as Johann Wilhelm, Duke of Cleves, who was childless, who now have children that somehow descend to people now living in America. The fact that people are out there adding people who do not exist or are not descendants of these historical figures is appalling. I am interested in putting up more information of what I know and have researched onto Wiki so that when or if people decide to stop taking other people's trees for the truth that they might be able to find the right information elsewhere, ie, Wiki.
