I so agree Glow.... I also feel in fact very little interest for anyone who were my ancestors. I have a niece who is obsessed with it so I find her quest very interesting just because it’s not my thing at all.
If we look at ancestors like looking down a vertical map I am interested to a horizontal thing which would be my parents, my friends and how this whole group interacts on let us say an amount of a hundred years and how this group interacts with the rest of the Earth at that given time
My hubby is a ´vertical’ one : he reads countless books on history and checks constantly on his family tree... and I am like but you chose those parents and felt little connection in fact with them, shouldn’t you then get more interested in the friends you made and possible incarnations of yourself with other groups of people who may have nothing to do with the vertical ancestry you are looking into ?
And then he looks Arne like... my wife is so bonkers. lol lol lol
It’s like he has one life and it’s all related to that vertical line and I am like he is so bonkers
: D
