Why would they say that Pedro Gómez de Orozco y Domínguez was the forefather of the Acevedo family*, when it was clearly his brother Gonzalo??? As Slartibartfast says, "I said it wasn't important." (*This is the family of the independista José Acevedo y Gómez, fwiw)

I'm deeply appreciative for #FamilySearch Full-Text Search yet again helping me realize the "Genealogías de Santa Fe de Bogotá" has misleading mistakes, and it took me a day to realize it rather than weeks/months. Down with upper-crust Colombian lies! #genealogy
