Isn't that the whole problem with family history? That you cannot say that? Nobody can be denied trying to find out more about their grandparents. It's just unfortunate that some wouldn't recognise them if they bumped into them in the street, and others claim kinship with complete strangers.
I've been on help desks for beginners many times. and I have to say that I get a huge buzz when we do find granny in the census. But I know that quite a few will never find great granny.
