Very true. Also, I found that if you give them a format to fill in that shows,
for example, that Uncle John Doe had 3 children, some relatives, especially
older ones, might only give you information about those three children. They will
assume you are not interested in Uncle John Doe's seven other children. This has
happened to me more than once. Then I found out "accidentally" that there were
other children and went back to the earlier sources and got pages and pages of
additional information.
