Article on the inclusion of the family of Jacob Rosevelt in the Roosevelt family genealogy. Rosevelt, a German immigrant, did not marry German wives, and it came to be believed over time that some of his descendants were tied to Claes Martenszen van Rosenvelt, the founder of the Roosevelt family in America. The article notes that the 1902 Roosevelt family genealogy mistakenly included descendants of Rosevelt. A picture of Sagamore Hill National Historic Site appears on the bottom half of the article page.
