@peach414144 When I was working on my genealogy, I found a 3xgrandmother who was a slave..born into it after her mother ws taken from Mopzambique. I sat down and cried for her and her mother and younger sisters and brothers. Her burial place remains unknown as does my 3xgrandfather, a european . I still cry for the atrocities of man. I take some solace from these words from Ecclesiastes 12:7 "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” It is my belief that God knows us all. Our legacies, our prayers are not lost. I can't know your pain, but I can care about all the lives that have been lost to evil. Be blessed.

@gemmax Sounds like you have an interesting lineage. I have a photo of an oil painted portrait of one of my great greats going back to 1470. His face and hair look exactly like me. When I show it to friends, they think it is me and that I had it done at one those boardwalk shops. You know the ones that take sepia tone old-timey photos? It was bizaar to see such a strong resemblence after so many generations.

@windwalker I have a large family, but I look different from most and had always wondered where my appearance came from. Then I came across a gggrandmother who is ¾ cherokee and although my skin is English like my mother, I looked so much like her that I couldn't believe it. I loaded the two pictures one of her and one of me on top of each other in a program that i have and changed the transparency and there we were a perfect match! I find genealogy very interesting. I started years ago and collected documents as i went along. I love to restore old photos too.

@gemmax I find genealogy very interesting as well. I think it would be great to also have health history in that data bank so that future generations can learn what to watch out for.
