Whats your great great grandfather called?

In four generations no one will know your name. Not even those whom share your genes.

Stop taking everything so seriously and just enjoy the ride.

Well, we are writing down our ancestors already since generations. My great great grandfather was called Karl. I even know the name of my first documented ancestor (16x grandfather who was born in 1460 馃槈).

Well, I guess that in 4 generations maybe someone still will remember my name but not the thing which is more important: What I was for a kind of person.

But well, we humans are like that... 馃槈

@Loretta78 Thats awesome. Having any type of knowledge/connection to your lineage is a gift. One I must admit I've used as a bad example of " taking things to seriously". Faux pa on my part as several here were well aware.

@Vaper Well, no problem.

Nevertheless it doesn't help me at all that I know the names where I'm coming from. 馃槥

There live still several members of my family anywhere... I could have an exchange about our common ancestors. But I don't have contact to ANYBODY, it seems I am the Black Sheep of the family. I am feeling a little bit like a leaf on a dead branch... 馃槥

But however: Knowing about lineage is interesting, and also about the little stories I know to tell about a few of my ancestors. 馃檪

@Loretta78 I see.... I've a bit of experience being cast in black wool,myself.

Oddly perhaps I've a string of knowledge pertaining to names in my family tree as my heritage uses not a family name. Icelandic tradition is to adapt your fathers first name + son or daughter respectively as your last.

@Vaper Oh! Are your ancestors from Iceland? 馃槉馃槂

@Loretta78 Paternity, yes. As born there myself as well. Grendavic. My mother was born in the US however granting me duel citizenship.
