That's pretty epic! Being able to find the house and mentally put yourself back then is just too neat.
Have you considered getting a DNA kit for yourself? I got one a couple years ago and it showed nothing surprising - English, Western and Eastern European with some Swedish thrown in (which is also not surprising considering in my youth I had hair blonder than @saffisara's)
I've thought about it - does it give you more history about your ancestry as well? If you take that kit, do they follow up with details / history about the region one comes from/
What they will do is, if they find close relative matches (cousins, aunts, uncles, etc) they will link it into your tree. It's really quite neat.
Really? I think you talked me into it! Thanks!
