The personal thing is what a person perceives as truth. Everyone has a set of beliefs that they consider true. The set isn’t the same for everyone. Isn’t it the case then that truth, at least some portion of it, is person dependent?

No, it certainly is not. That only means that one's knowledge is limited, not that the things you have knowledge of are inherently subjective.

The fact that two people disagree about something does not automatically imply that they are both wrong, only that at least one of them is.
