Do you care about your ancestors?

Eh.. as far as I can tell my ancestors’ generational trauma led them to travel all over the world in search of a life that sucked less 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️😅 so, we have that much in common 🤣

Some were murdered off by Russians in WW2 and the descendants of the others maybe will be in the current one. I have no power over the past events and if it'll come to that, I won't have any power of the future events. I care enough to be pissed off but not that much that I'd dwell on it all the time.
I wish I knew more about my father's side. I didn't even have a chance to know my paternal grandparents.

Honoring ancestors is a big part of my culture, so yes.

I have spent over 30 years working on my family history and have written two books on my ancestors. I will never finish. Their photographs hang on my home office wall. Good and bad, I find them to be really interesting and hope to learn more about them.

Oh yes. I love to hear the stories and contemplate the differences between their lives and mine. I’m a hodgepodge of so many places and cultures, a step in so many different kinds of journeys. It warms me and I think of them with love. 😊

It's always surprised me that a fourteen year old boy could bring a mass migration from the old country to the new world just by saying that God sent him instructions to find gold plates written by an ancient civilization.

I’m told I have Cherokee heritage. It might explain my love for nature and the outdoors. We like to camp on the reservation but it saddens me to see what they’ve been reduced to 😞

Ive traced my family treeback a few generations. I went to a little village in Saddleworth where my grandmothers family came from. It was lovely to go there.

Not really only the ones my parents and grandparents have talked about and when we go to the cemetery to put flowers on their graves.

No, don't care.

Yes, I try to understand myself and understanding them might help a little

Only in as much as I love history in general and I get curious about shit like that but some people get really nuts about figuring out their ancestry. My mother? Jesus Christ she's fucking nuts about it like it actually matters all that much.

I'm curious about them.

They`re all dead. So nope.

Nope.

More like curious

Yes, I care. I learn more and more about them. I’ve been to places my U.S. ancestors lived, but not further back. Their strength and perseverance is why I exist. I feel sad for what many of them endured.

I have not got any interest whatsoever.

My last name is of a noble Scottish family and about half of my ancestors are Irish. I've been to both places.

My ancestors are almost all from Ireland. That does bear some significance to me.
