I work on the basis that family history is about who the people were, not just names and dates. So really anything you can write about them helps to round them out as real people. You wouldn't be able to record my confirmation, as religion isn't big in my life, which makes me different from my gt grandfather, who was a lay preacher in the Methodist church. Similarly with ailments, someone with heart problems isn't likely to have been a weekend mountaineer. It's all grist for the mill, in my book!
