Trying to pinpoint the stories related by relatives is an integral part of searching for ancestors, and I have found the search also to be quite a bit to be intuitive, and later proven with the found records. You could say the same of police work when a detective has a hunch. I really don't see the UFO/New Age connection. I'm sure most people (not all) searching in ancestry just want to know if the family lore is true or not. Just natural curiosity and I think your comment "everyone wants to be an Indian", is unfair and unnecessary. Donna
