Fernando,
Thanks for posting it. Every scrap of information is important in historical research: a story, a distant memory, an old drawing, a coin, a rusted remnant of an object. Yes, it is going to be difficult to dig through a pile of data of uncertain significance and dubious veracity, but it is orders of magnitude better than having no data at all.
