Have you ever thought about genealogy in this way⬆?
You may gain some information on 40% of your (closest) ancestors. The remaining "information" out there is likely synthetic and semisynthetic
.
DNA testing from these outfits is so limited and conjecture based as to also be not totally trustworthy.

It would be a difficult position for me to argue, if you didn't cotton to it in a more resistant manner.
Autumn seems to be the time when folks reflect on their deceased ancestors. Some probably spend extra time trying to learn something about them at this time of year. Naturally, we miss the ones we knew during the "holiday season."
One thing that troubles me about genealogy is that it is, at times, stitched together in a patchwork by someone who we may not even know and have particular reason to trust. Often nothing, and I mean Nothing, is cited in referenced to claims. Boom, it's done and then, somehow accepted by those following. The accounting becomes a part of family history and dang near sacred to some members. Pshaw! But, without documentation of our own, what can you do? Even with some written record –– does one really know for certain? And, the trail into the past steadily drifts further from reality ...
