“Family stories can be ... varied and far-flung. They may involve an ancestor named Mulberry Melinda, a forebear who employed Abraham Lincoln as a rail-splitter, a father and son who battled a mammoth bear in nineteenth century Norway or a great uncle reputedly buried near Daniel Boone. These legends aren’t always full of truth, but they can enliven your family history. They can also offer details about relationships, insights into personalities and environments, clues about undiscovered lines, even potential corrections to official records.” (Moen, 1999)
