It's a very interesting hobby, Lizzie. I too many times have been interested in knowing about my ancestors.
And on my father's side, I have some information because one of my uncles for a long time was researching and collecting old letters that my grandfather kept. His origins were Spanish. On the other hand, I don't know much about my mother's family tree on her father's side. I only know that my great-grandfather came from Germany during the first world war, but we don't know much more since my mother lost her father when she was fifteen years old, and she was never very close to my grandfather's family. Maybe with those DNA tests, you mention we could find some relatives in Germany. It would be cool to have the money to do so.
It is a fascinating subject and I hope that at some point you will be able to devote some time to it.

It's so fascinating to delve into one's ancestry not so! You need to speak to your uncle and ask him to share his findings with you before it's lost. Sadly some people don't respect the history of their ancestors & when they die, valuable old photos and documents are simply discarded, so sad!
So you also have European roots, it would be so interesting finding out what your uncle discovered. I only have 1 aunt & uncle left & need to ask them to write down what they know of the older generation; they both love writing so I'm sure it will be something they'll enjoy doing!
Thank you for commenting Eli🤗
My uncle has made a little diary with everything he has found and my cousin knows where he has it.
I don't like people throwing away old photos, I have a box full of photos that were my grandmother's. I have photos of her as a baby and with her sisters. The pictures are a treasure.
Most of the people here have Spanish roots, but there are also a lot of Italian and Portuguese descendants. By the way, I'm sure you know this page, but in case you don't. Here you can find birth and marriage certificates https://www.familysearch.org/en/
Thanks Eli, that is one of the sites I've been looking at as well. It's quite amazing when one starts searching!
Sadly some people don't have such respect for all the old photos. My uncle had quite a collection as well and put them in a beautiful album.
Have a great Tuesday🤗
Yes, when you start it becomes an addiction, hehe. My husband started using that site to search for old family documents of my mother-in-law.
I hope you had a good Tuesday. And have a lovely night 🤗
