Burke as reference
Let me just give you a warning on using Burke, as you seem to intend. While reasonably reliable for reporting material from around the time of publication, it becomes progressively less reliable the father back you go, and is almost worthless for the early origins of families. One needs to be particularly careful about accepting, based on Burke, claims to being the true heirs of a kingdom. These are almost all made up. Agricolae (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Completely understand and thank you for bringing this to my attention. Could you please be so kind to recommend me some more reliable sources. Lifton (talk) 08:43, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

 * This is too much of an open question. It depends on what the subject is. Noting that you edited Baron Sherard, a good source for the English peerage titles is the Complete Peerage.  That being said, sometimes the reason families make up genealogies is that the true information just isn't known.  There may be no reliable sources because the information itself is without legitimate basis. Agricolae (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
