Often seems to be stories of immigrant ancestry in the family, such as Irish, French or German. I wonder if it is tales of how their ancestors came over in the Famine, and the people who hear the story do the research and find nothing, when in reality they were merely neighbours of such people. A small grain of truth at least, but the story exaggerated.
