If you could learn one secret or unknown fact about your distant ancestors, what would it be?

I would love to know what were they doing during colonial times, and what was their situations, i don’t really know anything passing the 1900s. I also would love to know what each of my ancestors, both the Native Americans, Iberians, Nigerians, and Italians were doing bfr the discovery of America lol.

1839 in Randers (there used to be a Jewish community there), via Sweden. But they kept in touch with relatives in Courland.

Ok, so they were Litvaks.

I read here that Randers once had the largest Jewish community in Denmark outside Copenhagen in the mid 19th century (altough mostly German/Yekke eather than from the Baltics):

I match a couple SNP's with Ostrogoth remains. I'd talk to Fritigern the Gothic chieftan. Also a few prominent Alans in my region like Saphrax.

I'd also like to meet my 2.7% Asian ancestors khan (whoever they were honestly don't know), and ask stuff about their culture. I'd like to meet Attila but I doubt I have any descent from him.

Quite specific

I thought of something else I would want to know about my ancestors that I don't.....if they liked coffee and how they liked it/made it . As ridiculous as it sounds I'd be really excited to know.

Vikings would raid Britain and steal treasure from places such as monastaries and sometimes it would be too much and they would bury it in Britain to possibly retrieve it at another date. I would ask them where they buried the treasure then go looking with a metal detector

I think airflights are one of the biggest scams of current time probably why flying cars haven't been Introduced despite having capable technology.


Back In the day anyone could've go where the fuck they want from Asia or Europe to Africa to the Americas by a simple boat.
