I just reactivated Ancestry to brush up my family tree a bit. Got a few shockers

[applegrove]

3. I did some genealogy. I was able to totally disprove some supposed ancestry

that was sourced from a second cousin of my grandfather. My grandfather looked up the supposed family in Paris during the war and they were idestitute as WWII ended. He gave them some money. So some good came of that false rumor. I was able to partially prove a story from my grandmother.'s side. There are more questions as I dig into it. We'll probably never know the details but we know the story my grandmother told was all proven.
