Misconstrued tales, unspoken events, a heroic deed, a celebrity or a shady past; all of which are unchallenged family myths, legends or stories handed down by grandmother, but could sweet old grandma have gotten the story wrong all these years?

This is a collection of thirty genuine family tales, the way they were handed down from generation to generation and then what actually happened.  I researched each story to learn what was true and not so true.

Even if you are not fully into genealogical research, you still can do some detective work to uncover some new facts. The reader will be given data how to document, check sources and compare those sources to gather accurate information. Included will be a range of resources available for anyone to use when checking out those infamous family legends.
