Certainly, everyone has missed the juicy stuff about the husband of one great aunt. Virtually all the stories he told about his family were misleading - except going to Canada, probably to escape his mistress and his then wife, who both promptly clobbered him for money and divorce on his return. He didn't marry my great aunt until post 1939, when he was looking for a family to sponge off in retirement. My new found cousin hasn't found the marriage, so killed off my aunt in the wrong name, in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Ha!
Yes, I too let the cat out of the bag in my innocence many years ago. I could tell this was a straight copy as "Legacy v4" appeared as a note on everything!
My offline tree has the interesting stuff: the stories, nicknames, scandals. My online, just the Janet and John stuff. But I struggle to understand what value a name without a personality has to anyone.
