You would have to do more research than that and prove their connections. You would have to know a lot of information about the family, and so forth.

I prefer this free web site for doing geneology https://familysearch.org/

Well done paulludvig. This is when I get annoyed about all sorts on the Internet. People just post quotes, photos, news stories, to get reaction without any proper research or double checking of the source. I'm guessing it took you just a few clicks/searches to find that this was a photo of James Henry Dumville?
Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad.

I just ran across it and I posted it. It looked legit.

I did a thread about this afew weeks ago and it was proved all of those pictures of the white people were not related to Prince. Only authentic pictures are John and Mattie.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across quite so harsh. It's easily done I guess and as you say geni.com obviously passes it off as legit.

I just hope this misinformation doesn't get dumped in every thread about Prince's family from now to eternity.

I suspect that some pathetic, deluded fammy is behind it, thinking it would be fun to invent some bogus Prince history. disbelief

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.
