Webinar description:
I have them and you have them. In fact, we all have them -- that story about our family's brush with greatness. Maybe you're related to Jesse James, or your ancestor was on the Titanic, or you're descended from three brothers who came to America. But is it true? Learn the methodology for proving or disproving that family story.
