Disputed Lineages

 
Every effort has been made to build the Bliss Family in America website with 100% accuracy. The webmaster depends on primary and secondary resources as well as information from Bliss researchers to produce truthful information.  Unfortunately, some errors in records have been carried over from one book to another or from book to CD-ROM. Corrections, along with source information, are always welcome.
 
Information about the following persons has been either reported as erroneous or requires further research.  As the webmaster holds a full-time job and works on her own genealogy, she does not currently have time to conduct research or judge whether one person's research is more accurate than another's.  She will, however, report disputed lineages on this page as found.
