The problem isn't what you (all) have learned, it is what you (all) have learned wrong. Which is basically anything that an anti-Catholic has told you.
Thank you very much but I do know how to do research. Have been doing it for years. I also know how to find things in the Bible to see if what people say is the truth. I do not go by traditions. Men make mistakes but God does not. I was wondering about some Protestant ministers on tv and a friend told me about a site called deceptioninthechurch. From that and other sites I learned a lot. I knew my instincts had been right. Genealogy taught me not to believe what one site says. I checked out many plus census data, etc. I even found a church’s minutes online from 1810. My great grandparents attended it. Boy, were they strict but I could see their point. I love history and that is what genealogy is.
