Our daughter got her background for a birthday present from her husband, and her dad and I, and her brother and his family, were all quite interested in the results. Our most recent ancestors were all immigrants not that far back from countries that were between wars; there were only a few of them, and most history that was passed down by the most recent generations was not recorded, lost to memory and then to the grave. Notably blank is my Jewish husband's, eastern European Ashkenazi Jewish background genetically, adopted in 1940 in NYC with no record disclosed.
