If You Had The Opportunity To Time Travel and Could Visit Some Of Your Ancestors For A Day & Bring A Gift For Them….

It's a toss up. ONE of my grandmothers would get a visit. My maternal grandmother died at age 62 because her heart had been damaged by Scarlet Fever when she was a child...so I might travel back to visit her and tell her to avoid ALL sick people and wash her hands regularly. She was such a sweetheart...it would have been wonderful for her to have been around for 20 more years or so.

My paternal grandmother might have gotten a visit from me when she was a teenager, and I would have told her NOT to marry my grandfather. He was a traveling salesman, and he kept a mistress. Basically he had her and didn't want her and her life stunk because of him.

Yes, I know I would never have been born...but I would still save her that pain if I could.

I’d bring them the gift of foreknowledge of where and what property to buy up so our family would be rich in 2025

I would love to see my paternal grandmother. She and I were penpals because we lived in different states. Grandma would always say I Iooked like her which I heard about all the time. She was very tiny, gave tight hugs and we both had a love for birds. So I would set up hummingbird feeders for her and enjoy watching them with her.☺

Great grandparents, gift ,maybe some food, just to meet them and see who they were

I would just for peace of mind visit my parents in the 60s trying to avoid meeting myself. I'd tell that them not to purchase the land in Florida which has squatters on it to this day. After my father passed, preceeded by my mother 12 years, I started receiving letters from the county sheriff in Florida trying to collect back taxes. I got in touch with him and found out the squatters were still there the land unaccessible and there was nothing they could do about it. I told to him to pay the taxes himself I had no legal obligations to do so. Squatters and the laws are some baffling bullsh-t.

i'd travel back to around 1948 when my mom was around 5...i'd give my grandmother a gift (a piece of my mind) while my mom took care of her younger sister and older brother doing all the cleaning and even feeding her siblings grandma was drinking, smoking and playing cards in the unit above them....although i must say it groomed my mother to be be the best mom her 2 boys could ever hope for

I would go back and see my father. He died when I was 13. I would like to bring my children with me to introduce him to his grandchildren.

I would essentially come back to the city I currently live in ca 1889 to visit my Great Grandparents who had a farm in the area. They would have had 10 kids (including my Grandmother) with one on the way. I would bring something for the kids, an entire dinner, and a case of beer. I'd want to talk about their trials and tribulations migrating here, and a little more backstory that could fill in some missing pieces of the family history.

I would but God wouldn't allowed me. But I have the urge wanting to do it. I would have a perfect life especially with my Autism. I would be completely humbled and maybe having friends..


Now days...well....

Either of my grandmothers. Both died before I was born. I'd bring some tasty snacks and try to get to know them.

Wow, great question. I would give them a gift of knowledge. Whom I would visit is unknown.

I would try not to talk about modern technology and they are using it to control people

What would I bring I bring them? Something from their our time period. Don't want them to be marked as a witch

I’d bring a photo album of my family and we’d gossip and talk about our relatives who aren’t in the room

I would visit my fourth-great grandfather, who is the earliest I have identified in my main line. I have written a book on our family history, and they would be in it. I would take that book, complete with photos of their descendants. We would talk about what happened after his life ended and about his parents/grandparents, et al.

Great question 😌

I’d bring them peace of mind, because it’s priceless 🙏🏼

I would say my dad and tell him what stocks to invest in, but he is a little dense and wouldn't believe me. He always knew what was best. 🤦‍♂ So, I would say myself when I was a teenager. I would lay out what jobs to take and what stocks to invest in.

July 17, 1980, my Dad, I would give him the gift of warning to keep my mother from taking my two older brothers and myself from the Portland area to iowa to the family farm early the next morning.
