Who Else Wonders?
So who is fascinated by their family history? Or by their ancestry and how they lived in other words.

I am a bit.
I found it a little sad that all the women on my mom's side of the family had been servants/maids before getting married. All lived in extreme poverty for a portion of their lives.
And, in looking into my ancestry, on my mother's side, every other generation lost their mother. My mom lost hers, so I didn't. But, if the pattern had stuck, My children should have lost me when they were quite small, or one of my two cousins should have lost a wife. But this hasn't happened and is the first in many generations.
