Liberties are sometimes taken with the facts and people are known to be economical with the truth.
My sister reckons that her son deserves the Booker prize for fiction for his CV !

Ok. I saw this one earlier and thought I'd let it develop a bit before joining in.
Now it looks like morphing into a tongue in cheek free for all!
Before it does though, I'd just like to ask Charles ~ and others ~ where, exactly, ye think such records should be stored?
I mean; If ye thinking we could all send our own into, eg. A.com? Having a laugh! Surely? There'd be more BSers on there than Jedi Knights on the census! 
Pity we don't keep up the 'Family Bible' idea any more, as people seem to have done in the past. But, my own stuff is certainly on my (locked and family only) A.com site. And I have strategically chosen Editors with the keys too.
Isn't that ~ along with todays electronic means, and a filing cabinet ~ the way to pass on our minutiae? Just put it down and pass it into family hands?

I think it would be a good idea to add something to your own tree, and current living persons for your own records, but as a few have said it would have to be taken with a pinch of salt,
lol imagine reading the CV of a character like Uncle Albert in OFAH 
Todays and past generations tell porkies on the birth and marriage certificates,
the amount you hear about things like benefit fraud nowdays, couples who claim they don't live with partners etc, so recent census how many are going to tell the truth on those, frightened they will be caught out, i imagine in past census's for one reason or another there were reasons people also stretched the truth, so as most know records we find are only a guide, a CV written by your uncle Harry a binman suddenly works for the department of planning and environmental services cleansing department operative, lol can you imagine in 50 years someone coming on Roots and asking what this job is

Creative writing was always part of CVs, obituaries, etc.
My grandfather, an engineer, is listed as 'sanitation engineer' in his obit but was merely working at the city dump at the time (my grandmother explained that during the Depression jobs were scarce and with a large household to support he took the only job he could get even though he had gone to university, been in Army and worked overseas).
