Oral family traditions or family folklore often have to be "translated".
Is there a family in the South with a connection to a Carter line that hasn't handed down the myth of being "related" to Gen. Robert E. Lee?
And of course the ever popular Indian Princess myth:

Possibly two hundred years from now people will be passing down the family folklore of an ancestor who was a "Disney" princess.
