    From Leslie Mahler@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 22 12:56:42 2022
    For persons who use the Genealogics database, I should point
    out the following entries are inaccurate:

    This person has been given a Finnish name: https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00530705&tree=LEO

    He is actually Carl Adlerfelt, and apparently lived only in Sweden: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Adlerfelt


    This person was named Axel: https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00711063&tree=LEO

    He has been given the Finnish name Akseli, yet he lived
    entirely in Sweden according to this: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axel_Wrede_Sparre

    This one is given as "Yrjö Henrikki": https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00533644&tree=LEO

    He was actually a Swedish person named George Henrik: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Henrik_Lybecker_(1720%E2%80%931776)

    This Bishop of Vaxjo has been tagged as living in Finland: https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00491164&tree=LEO

    He actually lived in Sweden: https://sv-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Nicolaus_Krokius?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

    This person who was born & died in Stockholm: https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00488834&tree=LEO

    was actually named Carl Gustaf, not Kaarle Kustaa: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Gustaf_Bielke

    This person given as "Kustavi Aadolf": https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00748733&tree=LEO

    was actually Gustaf Adolf, and lived in Sweden: https://www.adelsvapen.com/genealogi/Von_Meijerhelm_nr_1151#TAB_2

    Also this Justiciar of Uplandia, High Councillor of Sweden https://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00713059&tree=LEO

    has been tagged as a resident of Finland. Details about him are at: https://sv-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Mickel_Nilsson?_x_tr_sl=sv&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc

    I am sure that there are other persons like who this, whose names
    and nationalities have been changed.

    Although I'm sure Leo would have taken responsibility for entering the information you dispute, this came to him unsolicited from a former SGM participant whose self-proclaimed knowledge he (reluctantly) accepted as genuine.

    Leo was on the receiving end of a prolonged barrage of emails from
    Finland that were sometimes followed up with a menacing tone if he did
    not update Genealogics accordingly.

    Some of the inaccuracies probably happened after Leo's time. The good news
    is that some of them are scheduled to be corrected, with evidence attached.

    The list of updates here shows that the barrage from Finland is still happening:
    https://www.genealogics.org/whatsnew.php

    In some months, there have been hundreds of new inhabitants of Finland added
    to the database. Most of the world has no interest in these people.

    Most of the world has no interest in any medieval people, of course, but
    those with Finnish ancestry have as much right an everyone else to
    consider their forebears worthwhile. I can't see how nationality or
    place of residence should disqualify a person from Genealogics.
