Aims:Candidates with suspect distances from the Catalog of Nearby Stars were included in the Torino Observatory Parallax Program with the goal to clarify their membership in that catalog. Methods: Observations of the objects were made over the period 1996-2001 on the 1.05 m Torino telescope. The trigonometric parallaxes and proper motions were determined using standard techniques. Results: Of the 22 objects examined, 11 are within the 25 pc horizon of the Catalog of Nearby Stars. The remaining objects are either misclassified, sub-dwarfs rather than main sequence dwarfs with consequently overestimated photometric distances, or objects with published trigonometric parallaxes that are incorrect.
