The About section had:
"from http://hackerscreek.com/norman/CUTRIGHT/SABASTIAN.htm

8.HENDRICK HENRY KORTREGT 7.PIETER HENDERSEN KORTREGT 3.HENDRICK JANSEN KORTREGT 2.JAN BASIENSEN KORTRYK 1.SABASTIAN VAN KORTRYK
..."

However, in the link, the number in front of HENDRICK HENRY .,.. was eighteen - not eight - ie, should have been
18.HENDRICK HENRY KORTREGT 7.PIETER HENDERSEN KORTREGT 3.HENDRICK JANSEN KORTREGT 2.JAN BASIENSEN KORTRYK 1.SABASTIAN VAN KORTRYK

that error I have corrected.

In the one and only Document so far added, the name is spelled - "Hendreck Kortreght" -

BUT - the Citation for the Source -- instead of correctly reporting what is in that Document, instead claims it has "Hendrick Kortregt"

[Aside -- the "h" between the 'g' and the 't' is clearly there ---
the 'e' before the 'ck' in Hendreck' -- might possibly be questioned since it is a bit narrower than most of the'e's -- but the loop is fatter than in any of the 'i's - and all the other 'i's have a clear dot above them so it is more likely an 'e' -- but whether 'e' or 'i', the spelling of the name in the Citation of the Source is Incorrect!!]

Links regularly go bad.
Also - the information in the linked page may change.
With Geni one can create a Document from a Link - so one can always see what that page was showing at that time.

Why do we have links in the About and no Documents created from them?

Also - Two of these links are there as the direct source of the statements below them - not paraphrases, but exact quotes - it was several iterations of looking before I realized that was what was meant -- is it standard to not put quotation marks in such situations?

Profiles are works in progress.

All are welcome to add sources, documents, citations, clean up the text on the overview, etc.
