Secrets & Lies: Things we found while looking up relatives.

Advertisements [?]

Among my genealogical souvenirs are various death certificates where the informant has obviously peeled about 15 years off the age of the deceased. It's happened at least three times, always with people whose real ages could be confirmed or estimated using marriage, Census, and other records.

Then there are the myths and legends, as well as the scandals your ancestors didn't want you to know.

Tell your stories.
