Rejection
From Anderson's Great Migration:
In 1915 Edson Salisbury Jones published a brief account of his research into the ancestry of immigrant William Arnold [NEHGR 69:64-69], which showed the problems of the supposed pedigree done by Somerby, which did not have the correct father or location of William Arnold the immigrant. Anderson states unequivocally, "The pedigree prepared by Somerby is completely erroneous, and William Arnold came from Ilchester, Somerset"[3]
From Wikipedia:
In 1870, genealogist Horatio G. Somerby compiled a pedigree of the Arnold family. This pedigree, showed William Arnold as son of a Thomas Arnold and a descendant of a 12th-century King of Gwentland (in modern day Wales) whose name was Ynir. In 1915, Edson S. Jones on checking Somerby's information with his sources, discovered discrepancies in dates and places, mixed up generations and unrelated people. "This fabricated research was not an isolated incident; Mr. Somerby had also been implicated in other fraudulent research and was out to please his clients regardless of the veracity of his work"[4]
Note: Both included so people without access to the Great Migration series can also read about this.
