(146,288 posts)It's funny. Some people appear to think I'm telling people that they shouldn't do this. I'm not. I'm just saying that I don't see any reason why to do it. Upthread, someone posted a link to a story of a long search by one woman, who discovered that a relative of hers was part of a mistake in a hospital where two infants were sent home with the wrong mothers.
Now, while that story was very interesting to read, I was still left with the question of why it mattered, really. For me, it wouldn't have mattered at all. I am here. I am whoever I am. What led to that is simply not that interesting to me, beyond a couple of generations.
Like most people, I know who my grandparents were, and that's plenty enough, as far as I'm concerned.
For others, that might not be. They're welcome to search back into their ancestry. I never implied otherwise. As always, what I write is my opinion, and always with the knowledge that my opinion is likely not the same as anyone else's.
