    3. I am a teacher and we do know about the value of attaching information to a story, especially a shocking one. I remember a history teacher walking in and slamming his books on his desk (that's always how he got our attention) and saying "Ann Boleyn had six fingers." From that we learned all about Henry the 8th, religion, all his wives, etc.   I am working on family history books on Ancestry and I am adding all sorts of stories, pictures, art (documented) to make it interesting and real. I was telling my husband about our historical conjecture and he asked if I intended to put it in, not knowing which applied to James Hogg, trundling over the hill and approaching Tyrone County and Cookstown. I will put all of the possibilities in. Any one of our historical speculations will make the genealogy more real and more interesting. Joy
