This category is a location to identify the profiles of people whose biographies or family histories have been affected by the Carpentier Frauds. "Affected" is the operative word -- listing in this category does NOT mean that the profile itself is fraudulent; hopefully it is listed because the [fraud or fabrication] has been identified and corrected.
The frauds and fictions of Jean-Baptiste Carpentier or Le Carpentier (abt.1606-1670)), occur primarily in his Histoire généalogique des Païs-Bas, ou Histoire de Cambray et du Cambresis, published in 1664 and 1668, but he also produced genealogies for private clients. They mostly concern medieval lineages. A detailed account is given on the accompanying page on Carpentier Frauds.
