Source for genealogy.com

The information on genealogy.com seems to have been lifted from somwhere else, to judge by high page numbers included in it. I wonder where? Might just be Uncle Joe's Family History Manuscript, or might be something more reliable. I tried googling a couple of phrases with no result. Interesting. PamD 15:28, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asbury source

I don't think we should be using this given that Long demonstrates its unreliability (conflating two people). Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One thing to consider here is that it is not Wikipedia editors potentially inventing Malvina Latour, but book authors. Herbert Asbury's book provides several pages of detail on Latour. While Long's research indicates Latour may not exist, I think both perspectives should be in article on Latour, and I have put back Asbury's book information back into the article on Latour and clarified who is saying what about Latour.

"Lala"

This book's glossary, with separate listings for "Lala" and "Malvina Latour", implies that the two are separate people. How do we know that the two are the same? Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
