I'm grateful that you have family members who can help you with your recollections. The advantage that family histories will have going forward is the recording technology that makes it easier to preserve things. I wish I had recorded more of the stories my elders so often shared and I thought I would remember.
I finally signed up for your newsletter because I saw this post and had to learn the full story. I am working on a memoir that involves family history and ethnic identity and am aware that my childhood recollections differ somewhat from my siblings. But I have not yet encountered any dramatic discrepancies of the scope I sense you are facing. I feel for you!

Bless your heart. We’ll remember together. I was an adult, my life was easier, so I could pay more attention.
