 I have removed the long and somewhat confusing paragraph about Butch Cassidy's paternal ancestry going back three generations. While this is interesting stuff for us historians and genealogists, it seems to dwell unnecessarily on facts not directly related to the subject of the articleand may have caused the confusion of the contributor who incorrectly edited the article to say Robert Leroy Parker was born in England. (Probably confused him with his grandfather Robert Parker?) The fact that his GREAT-grandfather Thomas arrived in Utah 1867 has nothing to do with Butch Cassidy's birthplace or circumstances. I'm also not sure why it's important to detail grandfather Robert Parker's boyhood troubles with the law; again, interesting but not particularly relevant. We could give equal time to Butch's mother's family, tracing their Scottish origins and mentioning that his grandmother was a midwife and one great-grandfather worked as caretaker at a Scottish castle, but again, I don't think it's especially relevant to Butch Cassidy's own life.  04:09, 1 March
