[edit] Anjou Controversies

Because of Anjou's fraud was so complete he has become the baseline by which other questionable genealogists have been measured, however, Anjou's celebrity for what he was has also ensnared many other genealgists who are compared to Anjou.

However the rise of the Internet has also given rise to particular articles regarding Anjou and those classified with him which have been spread about like seeds to the wind. One of the outcomes of this is that people in internet situations immediatly condemn anyone who was compared to Anjou as being as a grifter as Anjou was and approached his clients.

My POV is that what seperates Anjou from these others was his intent to defraud his customers in lieu of their paying him to come up with the truth on their family lines. Bad genealogy research has been a thorn in the side of anyone who takes the vocation as a hobby or a profession, however Anjou's actions have tainted many a family tree whereas others who are compared to him were mearly sloppy.
