Yes Family stories can get distorted or are just plain porkies to cover up. My mum told several porkies which I grew up with as "Facts" and were my basis for looking for her elder half siblings born from 1898 to 1909.was looking for 5 extra children having known the eldest sister was sent to Canada as a home child before Nan & Grandad married, Well after lots of fruitless searches I found their were 4 in total not six AND mum told a porkie that she born in 1908 when she was born in 1909. Spent more hours than was necessary tracing her family back through her dads side. |

In recent weeks I have been fortunate enough to contact several distant cousins that I found using the Surname Summary facility. It was clear from birth dates that a number of these distant cousins were of advancing years. |
