If you're stuck on a problem person, make a list of all the assumptions you have made about that person. Don't forget things like where you think they were born, married, and died; what types of job they had; how many times they were married; their educational level; their socioeconomic status; how many places they lived; when they moved; etc.
Then cross one of those assumptions off.
How would your research change if that assumption were not true?
