We’ve mentioned this before, but some problems can be worked around or solved by thinking about every assumption we have made about an ancestor and “their situation.”
Every assumption.
Especially those that are near and dear to our heart. Those are the ones that can create the biggest stumbling blocks. If you don’t have documentation for a “fact” about your ancestor, then that fact could be incorrect. Even if you do have documentation for a fact, that documentation could be incorrect.
Always consider the possibility that what you think you know could be wrong–and then ask yourself:
what would I do differently if this “fact” weren’t true?
And then do it.
