Keep in mind that relationships stated in letters, diaries, and other “unofficial” records may not be crystal clear or as specific as we would like. “Cousin” can cover a variety of relationships and a niece or nephew may be a niece or nephew by birth or by marriage. A newspaper account may refer to someone as “Grandma” simply because of her age. <\/p>\n

Legal documents are usually more specific,but even they can be in error. Estate and inheritance papers are more likely to state relationships correctly and specifically.<\/p>\n
