you raise a good question.
when talking about people l haven't met l can only relay what l know from census data (likely facts) and what "others have told me" (subjective opinions - not facts)
eg "Dad said he was better than his father at soccer" after l uncovered a picture of him at a soccer club.
I can provide a lonely fact (a team photo) and an opinion (Dad's comment).
they don't need faith to hear an opinion if l make it clear it's an opinion and l can provide a photo or census record for facts.
likely facts are grave stones, photos, address, census records. opinions are what l hear from relatives, newspaper articles.
l can provide supportive evidence because l researched family history in great detail and can provide evidence.
when l researched evidence for Jesus l left the church and ceased lay preaching. there was a disturbing lack of evidence
