If Tadd's father was James Roosevelt Jr., and Tadd's paternal grandfather is James Roosevelt Sr., then shouldn't that make Tadd's name be "James Roosevelt III"? I'm puzzled..... and "James Roosevelt Roosevelt, Jr." just doesn't sound right..... Thesomeone987 (talk) 03:09, 12 August 2010 (UTC)Thesomeone987
Your article referred to Sadie Messenger Roosevelt as a prostitute. Several secondary sources and web pages do the same. William Mann disputes that characterization in his book, The Wars of the Roosevelts. The label is what one would expect from the scandal-seeking media of the day, but it seems too definitive and pejorative a classification of Sadie's life. Just what was going on in Manhattan dance halls over a century ago is murky and impossible to untangle at this point. Maybe it's better to err on the side of caution and not recycle the gossip and scandal stories of the day as proven matters of fact.
