Family Stories

Tweet

I have always been told that on my mother's side of the family that we have Native American blood and also descendants of a famous American. And I was told by my mother that my paternal grandmother was full blood Native American. My maternal grandmother had a picture of a person that she said was one of her grandmother's and was full blood Native American. As an adult I started researching Genealogy and found that none of my grandmother's upline was Native American and not on the direct upline on my maternal grandfather's side. I also discovered that that the famous American we are related to but very distantly. I also recently discovered that my father's mother apparently was not Native American either. Now my mom won't believe it because she was always told these stories. Have you ever heard family stories and later you found out weren't true?
