I understand the different stories from family members, has happened to me too.
Also, as my mom got older, she tended to mis-remember things.
But it is a good thing to write it all down, now have I done that? NO. LOL
A niece says to me, auntie please write down all you can remember about the family, I say to niece, come over and I’ll tell you stories and YOU write down stories. LOL
Haven’t seen her yet.
Criminal detectives always say they can get ten conflicting stories from ten eyewitnesses, because people see and remember things differently.
