RE: Silver Prompt - Searching for my Roots

in Silver Bloggers3 years ago

I believe people from that era tended to sweep things under the carpet and pretend everything is hunky-dory,

I think there was a lot of worry about reputation back then as well. Also just getting on with things due to war etc .. just buckle up and move on. When I was in the UK I researched my family tree which kept me occupied in lockdown. Don't think ive got time to write about it and it's so convoluted with so many people.

I agree that's what it was all about, keeping up pretenses and struggling to get back to normality.
I really find it a fascinating subject. When my nephew had the DNA test done, it brought up results showing which people are a closer match and the lady I contacted was my mother's cousin's granddaughter, quite a mouthful!
I'm sure if my Mom had gone for the dna test, she could possibly have found her other family if anyone in that lineage had gone for it as well.
That's history now.
Have a great week @riverflows 🤗

You know we bought two DNA tests which sat on the shelf for two years, then we threw them out. We just worried too much about our DNA being used for nefarious purposes... But I'm sure we were just being paranoid!
