As far as researching one's genealogy. Ya, there really is only one set of truth. I've got several branches of the family upset with me for proving various family stories wrong. However, I want to know the truth, therefore I use only documents to prove the facts. I still include the family stories, but then state what the facts prove them right or wrong. Still folks get upset.
Reminds me of my days as a genealogical librarian.

Guid on ya for passing along the family history to the next generation.
