very good lesson on where past generations have ?gone wrong? . but also every generation think they are the first to experience the varieties of life! how wrong we all are/were my parents died young, I never questioned why I knew nothing of my fathers family. my mother told great stories of her ancestors, and endless stories of her childhood days. It wasn?t until they had both gone that I realised the one-sidedness of it all. I know now what she was trying to avoid telling?..but it has taken me years to unravel the truth and frankly I wished I had had the opportunity to ask my father personally about his family and how he felt about it all. I was delighted when I put my maternal family tree on genes reunited to discover another branch of the family was there and we could exchange information. This person had no idea where a lot of her family were buried so I sent her photos and it also confirmed that what I had traced was correct as she went up the same line and came to a full stop where I did as I could go no further. With grandparents and now parents all passed so many of the family stories that i hoped to collect have now gone,and Im sad about that,Ive nothing more that memories of stories told to me,to pass on to my children and grandchildren and I find the older Im getting the more important it feels
