How Family Legends are MisLeading
Sometimes we just need to forget the family legends describing how our ancestors arrived in America and instead, search passenger lists and other records. While these tales are fun, they are misleading. For one thing, imperfect memories churn up events which may or may not have occurred in specific time-spans. We can test ourselves, by attempting to pinpoint the date of a special event. Did we get it right? If it were not for public records which require dates, places and witnesses, past events would be imaginatory. I once attempted to confirm a family story where it was said that a certain ancestor was illegitimate. Not true, however, after tracing back 400 years, but I did find one in 1440!
