I had the occasion to go and visit the very old members of my family and had them talk about our ancestors.
Funnily I got the first name of my great great grandparent and also hit a wall at the same time.
He was abandoned as a child (I don’t know exactly how little he was) at a hospital in a nearby town. This means that it will be easy to find official records and that probably all they say is the date when he was abandoned and no clue of the parents, where they came from and real birth date. Ah!
But I discovered many interesting things, I started to note recurring illnesses and common traits. It’s all very exciting and somehow bewildering even grieving. I found out women in the family who commited suicide with poison, drown brothers, almost a nomadic near past I had no suspect of.
