So this is a serious question/request. I fear I may be very distantly related to one of the "royal" families of old. It kinda makes me sick to be honest. It would probably cause me emotional harm if I am indeed distantly related to the illuminati. I don't want evil blood.
If it matters, it's one of the Italian Houses. There's a few popes and cardinals with the maiden name in my family. I haven't bothered searching yet but I already feel down about it.
You can find a LOT of genealogy information easily on Ancestry.com.
Small fee... but there are a LOT of family trees and research that other people have already done. Once you type in a search for one of your close ancestors (grandfather, grandmother, etc...)... you may be surprised to see hundreds of years of ancestry come up.
Once you get into royalty, or religious leaders... especially in Italy, where they are heavily Catholic and recorded everything... you will have an information super-highway that could date back to the early middle ages or even further.
I would start with that. A few $$$ up front... and you may be surprised at the vast amount of info free online through that site.
For your information, I have several popes and even a few saints in my ancestry. Definitely royalty, with some lineage dating back to the Roman Empire even a few hundred years B.C..
Some of my ancestors were ass hoes.
I am related to people on both the "receiving end" and the "dishing it out" side for at least 2,000 years. What it all comes down to is... YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. You are not your great grandparents. You don't need to apologize to anyone for something a distant ancestor did in the 1500's. You are YOU.
Small fee - and your DNA in their database u/Retaining_H2O. Genetically profiled weapons or future tracking possibility. Never give them more than you must.
u/SoMuchWinning45 : you are you,is your gene pool tainted,cursed or not. Make right choices. You are you. Even if genes of cursed ones in you would be truth - you might be the cure and redemption.Maybe. Depends of the choices YOU make.
I not know too much about my distant ancestors,and to be honest - is that really so important ? Mine choices are mine,for god and for bad... It is not so pretty, and it can be sad.
Heavy is the responsibility,and even heavier burden of failures,but that's the cross to carry probably. That's the cross to carry for us all.
If you would have literal fallen angels your ancestors - would you choice to be devil or would you want to reunite with God ? Nobody ask your nature, we will all be judged for our choices at the end - no attenuating circumstances,no advocate this time,and may HE forgive us... Guilt is sure,measure of it is not - and redemption too.
I don't feel the need to apologize for anything. I just fear having that kind of ancestry.
