Never start your ancestry guys it’s like an impossible jigsaw.
Do deep dive on RCCX though, it does not disappoint.
I’m accepting applications for new hyper fixations please apply below.
What frustrates me the most is that I can trace parts of it back like 400 years, and others no more than a few generations. Like I understand it, but I'm still upset after literal days of chasing loose ends.
My surname is fairly uncommon, all male descendants so far have the same YDNA results from a common ancestor circa 13th-16th C
So I’ve had the luxury of being able to catalogue every recorded person with my surname and then I can slot people in based on location, naming patterns, etc. ^^
But yes it’s wild how we have undoubtedly lost so much of our past. And how one guy being in the right place at the right time a few hundred years ago has resulted in tens of thousands of living descendants across the world.
OpenAIs new ‘thinking in images’ tool can almost one-shot very hard to transcribe old documents in secretary hand, etc. So that should open up a wealth of hidden information very soon!
Can I interest you in some Warhammer 40,000?
