what blows their story apart at the seams? ------ DNA testing.

Family trees are a story, a yarn - a fiction that might be right - but, almost impossible to be right if one goes back more than a generation or two

one kid born by pregnancy where the sperm came from other than 'name of father' --------------- and whoosh ----------- family tree gone, family tree out the window

how many kids are born in pregnancies that the lover and not husband was daddy?

god help us - there must be billions. Uncountable.

History to me - same deal. History is written by people and people often paid by people who have a very strong interest in what that history shows OR doesn't show.

Historians study history and pull it apart - but, often, they are just guessing.

I've just watched a dig, right in the guts of a tiny city with a huge and documented history.

The dig showed up a few baby skeletons. Explained that 'probably' dead on arrivals from a nearby hospital. The written history of the time - showed nothing.

Hundreds of skeletons later - the few, exploded in numbers --------- how, who, why? ------------ no idea. What was in the history??

zip.

Whatever happened to those hundreds of babies and small kids - conveniently just didn't get mentioned in the books.

But complements to wanting to make a new building in 2024 --------- those babies = their ghosts and skeletons have reared up on fact and said in clear voice - look at us - someone did this to us. It'd be nice if you found out why.

History lies - just like family trees do.

Expand

the recording of history is often biased. the authors have clear lines to defend and protect the victors or to show the victimisation of the losers.

truth often lies somewhere in between all of the recorded writings.
