More about the presentation “People Lie! How to unravel the truth when you are tracing your family history!”
When you are tracing your family history, conflicting evidence can be very confusing. Perhaps an
ancestor’s age fluctuates or a person’s parents just don’t seem to exist. Perhaps an ancestor
says she is a widow but you can’t find a death certificate for her husband. It’s not unusual for
facts to vary from one source to the next. Our ancestors may have been wilfully deceitful to cover
something up or they may just have been confused. Whatever the motive, the challenge for us is
to unravel the truth and trace our family history accurately.
