Just wondering how others have dealt with this problem... When confronted with relatives who are convinced that they 'know' a fact when they are basing a story on legend, and argues against your documentation that proves otherwise, how do you convince them that the legend that they have been taught from childhood, is wrong? Or do you try? AND....When do you say 'ENOUGH"!! when their minds won't be changed?

I keep records on both "ideas". We have a legend of our gg grandfather being lost at sea. There are no records to justify that so far. Some have discarded the legend. I have found scenarios that lead to other answers. Proof or not I keep files on both. You never know what the future holds. (: Then there is my mother's marriage application. She states her mother is someone else beside my known grandmother. My siblings are furious - At Me! Did she make a mistake? An odd one if she did. However, I keep both records.

Patience Northern just mentioned that she has a gggf who was supposedly (maybe) lost at sea. How does one go about trying to find out about such things? I have a g...gf Daniel Driscoll who was also supposedly lost at sea around 1750-1760 and I have no idea where to begin looking. Does anyone have any idea about a starting point? Thanks!
