If I can add a note of caution since you said that you are not familiar with
this series, the WFT discs are made up of user-submitted family trees. Some
of them are excellently researched, with full sources given. Others seem to
include a fair amount of guesswork or wishful thinking, and many do not
quote their sources. Unless you're sure that the data comes from the first
type of tree, such info should be treated as a clue rather than as
definitive. (This is the same situation as much of the IGI and material on
Ancestry).
