Henry VIII - waste of space?

[ImJustMadAboutSaffron]

"Apart from his immaturity over religion and which way he really swung, and the total waste of lives, time and money fighting France which achieved sod all - just for starters - anyone got a good word to say for the guy?"

These are not my words neither is the subject heading, I saw it on Facebook. But was he a waste of space? I do have one good word to say for him though I'm not going to start discussing religion.

One of my university friends is descended from the Huguenots. Their surname has been anglicised but it’s evident that it’s origin is French.

Thanks I might have found the names on there before but I'll have a look again, I dip in and out in the hope that I might find something new again, Spitalfields silk weavers.

Fwiw, I regularly go on Ancestry for local history research, and many personal family trees are wrong. Just lazy wishful thinking. Like Maximillian getting court genealogists to prove his link to Noah, you find what you want to find.

Lots of trees I've seen are incorrect and when I've contacted them with evidence they still haven't changed it!

Yes, been there. It's interesting that FamilySearch, which used to use a lot of this kind of data, is moving away from it, towards accurate resources.
