Chris:
You have already been given good feedback from others. I would only add that even where there is erroneous, anomalous or other contrary, but relevant, information in a published source, citing that source and commenting upon the information therein can be helpful both for your own reference, as well as useful to others.
It is better to be kind in such commentary, but sometimes important to be firm or emphatic.
Generally, the family history adventure ought to be treated as a quest for truth. But some have been careless along the way and others have taken great license in creating fictional accounts of family members. It can often be challenging to distinguish fact from fiction and well thought out notes and commentary that assist others in assessing the information is useful even when the reference is to the anomalous or fantastic rather than the factual.
