When people research their family trees they always crow on about the good stuff. Nobody celebrates being descended from absolute wrong’uns.

IMAGINE IF WE WERE RELATED 👀

I've never done one but I do have a story. My dad had known for some time that his "dad" was not his real dad. He decided in his 70's to do some investigating and established that his dad was actually a Canadian serviceman who was in England during the war and had a romance with my dad's mother. She became pregnant and of course due to stigma she raised my dad with the man who I always called my grandfather. The real dad returned to Canada. Using family tree techniques my dad managed to track down the descendents of this Canadian serviceman and, longer story short, my dad now has a second family who have accepted him with open arms. He and my mum have been over there a couple of times and are going again in May.

I only found out about all of this after he'd worked out the full story, so I learned that my grandfather was not my real grandfather. I loved him nevertheless and nothing has changed in how I think of him.

Sorry for boring you but I feel like you needed it 😌
