I’ve talked about this with our genealogists but people want their family story to be more romantic than it is. Hence how myths are born. Stories of royal ancestors or of national hero ones get believed. Family lore is part of family history too but it’s not true history.

Hence “I was told growing up that I have some Indian blood in me” or “I come from a long line of (insert profession).” And let’s not even get started on the “I’m distantly related to (insert famous person) on my mother/father’s side of the family!”
