Thank you for the information M.P. Griffiths. I have looked on some of the trees on Ancestry for Eligha and it would seem that a lot of people just copy down other peoples information without checking it. Several claim that Elizabeth Herbert originated in Wales (not disputing this) but there is no evidence to back it up, especially when the tree comes up with a long line of predecesors, again without evidence. These are mainly from our overseas cousins. I have contacted several of the owners of the trees and asked for proof of lineage but none is forthcoming. One person contacted me from America and stated that they had proof that the our Herbert line went right back to the "Kings of Wales, who came from Rome???????
Thanks again for the information.
