An "expert" at a family history fair told Best Mate she would never find her missing Lanning marriage. And she believed them. I asked the good folk on this site to look. They found the marriage. Lots of incidental detail proved it wasn't coincidentally the right name and DNA confirmed it.
Apparently, on Genes Reunited, when few censuses were readily available, one member did lookups... and MADE UP THE RESULTS. The urge to do stuff for the money or for the kudos must sometimes be too great to resist.
