Corroborate two family-source accounts and notice that both can be true

Prereqs
Common misconceptions
- Believing one teller must be wrong if they differ (both can be true; memories focus on different details)
- Believing documents are always more accurate than memory (each has strengths; documents can be incomplete or wrong about meaning)
- Believing the goal of corroboration is to pick a winner (the goal is fuller picture)
