I am a bit shocked tonight, maybe heavily shocked. This is a little personal, but still, it is what it is. You guys know I am messing with this ancestry thing, and I am adopted and does not know too much about my biological side. So, I am building 2 trees, my biological tree, and my adoptive. The shocking thing is that my sixth great grandmother on my adoptive side is the same as my seventh great grandmother on my biological side. It is a very peculiar feeling, in the sense that when you are adopted you get to love your parents as much as a child love his/her biological mom and dad. No difference there. But, still, when you know you are adopted, you also know that there are no blood relation. Most likely nothing. Well, I use to joke about it, that we are all related when we go back to Adam and Eve. And that is pretty much the personal feeling I have had about the whole thing. It was so far back if it was anything, that it was nothing to think about. Now I have all the names in between, and everything. And suddenly I am biological related to my adoptive mother.
Shocking to say the least.
