I'm curious how often you have encountered written accounts about the family history, done by some beloved ancestor like a GGGrandpa, that you check out carefully and can prove were wrong?
I have two or three discouraging cases like this. How often did our ancestors try to burnish the family origins by inventing stories of grandeur that weren't true?
