Most of the women on my matrilineal side share the hobby of doing extensive research in family history. Like tracing the family tree back to the 1500s level. It’s kinda cool being able to have a cohesive story of where my family has been and what they’ve done or been through. It still seems kinda….feudal adjacent in a sense.
Idk my lefty self-crit sense is tingling. What’s the line on this? Obviously there is a great deal of white privilege in even being able to, but often enough privilege seems to be something everyone should have rather than nobody having it. Thoughts?
Nothing wrong with it, just a hobby thing. As long as you're not desperately trying to become an aristocrat and make it your entire personality.
Remeber my family doing a check on lineage and there was not a single "interesting" person in there, and they were all within 50km of eachother for as long back as they could find records (16th century). The most interesting one was a guy who got jailed for desertion, the rest were just farm hands, maids and miners. Coming from a long line of unremarkable peasants is oddly comforting.
eyyyy!
intensely normal family tree gang!
Doesn't even look a little bit like a diamond.
i have a feeling this is a maths joke i'm too thick to get
A lot of European royalty, most notably Charles II of Spain, have family trees with a shape as distinctive as that of their chins.
Note that in 200 years and 7 generations, his family tree had 5 ancestors feeding into it. it becomes 3 if you explore the in-laws parentage extensively enough.
ah, got ya
NOOOOO disney ruined starwars by making a character that isn't space royalty
