There's a recently published article entitled "The fraudulent Coligny-Rapalje descent". In it John Blythe Dobson shows the errors in the discredited (yet persistent) idea that the immigrant to New Netherland, Joris Jansen Rapalje, was a descendent of a "Gaspard Coligne/Colet de Rapalje".
It is in vol. 2, number 1 of the Annals of Genealogical Research. The article is available at
