The family line stops here, despite having survived imprisonment, mustard gas, the trenches. All those couplings through the thousands of years resulting in the void.
Me and my Mother had a shared genealogy hobby for a few years until we seemed to have exhausted all leads. My hope is to transcribe it to the blockchain before my ultimate departure. That process has begun.
My feeling from that genealogy experience is that family lines are not linear. The family name is, yet that whole concept is pretty misogynist in its origins. It seems to me that it is all about the DNA and not the family name. Perhaps if there was a grandchild in my life my feelings may be different on this matter.
It's actually interesting how many stories come from that DNA tree though. The things I discovered about my grandads mum and grandma that he never knew! Like a previous husband who died in the first war and two dead babies, and you know why she married again without knowing the story, because she was a housekeeper and he was a widow with kids so it was convenient and what else could she do? It's mad my grandad never knew this but Ancestry.com has it's tales...
Any grandchildren possiblities??
My Daughter is nervous due to her Mom having depression arise after each of her two pregnancies. They mentioned a few months ago that surrogacy may be an option. Time will tell with that one. 🤞 😎
Oh goodness, I guess that might deter her but there's always ways to address that these days.
