    I hope so too!! Family histories and Immigration are so tricky depending on the period of time, records available etc. One huge issue is that there was a huge fire that burned up most of the immigration records for the immigration port in the 1900s so that doesnt help hahha!!

    Yeah, how did they manage to have sex in a one-room shack without the kids noticing?

    what their language was, we have no clue what the West Hunter Gatherers spoke, I would love to know the language of the last of them before the EEF came just to document it and determine things about their culture through it

    It maybe sounds boring, but I have a number of places in my pedigree where it ends prematurely. Let it be because I don't know from where someone initially came, because the father is unknown or because the church record books in Germany east of the Oder river were intentionally destroyed.

    Now, I'd like much to get to know those ancestors' ancestors, i. e. their pedigree. That would be more interesting to me than getting to know some very personal things.

    I would really like to know which countries were my Great Great Grandfather when he worked as a sailor and commerciant, My grandfather told me that he were sometimes in France or Italy, Spain, UK but never nothing clear and he barely knows nothing about him, he only saw my GG grandfather only when he came back from his travels and well he had a lot of sons too and we always wondered if he had other sons in his travels too.

    Not very distant, but I wish I could have known my biological paternal grandfather. He was Jewish, and my gramma said that he was a really great guy who loved my infant dad, but she plainly said that she didn't want to "be seen with a Jew", so she remarried and had the rest of her kids with someone else. It caused a lot of nasty complexes and resentment in the family.

    None of the genetic stuff I do links me to anyone remotely close to him, but even if it did, I don't think I would have the heart to contact any of them.

    I would like to know more about my great grandpa. His naturalization certificate says he was from German Empire, and I know he served in the German military, but we know nothing about his parents or sister since they died when he was young. My grandpa told me that he was from near Hamburg, but that doesn't really help.
