Genealogy - is anyone interested in it?
I have been involved in genealogy for over a dozen years. Today, there is a lot of information on the internet, and it is easy to find one's ancestors through services such as: Geneteka database of the Polish Genealogical Society (genealodzy.pl) - nearly 50 million entries or more regional ones like: News - Index Database of Lublin Region (lubgens.eu) or national ones: Unit - Search in Archives Genealogists (including myself) have been photographing parish and civil registry books, cemeteries, and meticulously converting them into electronic lists for years. That is why today the search is not difficult. Additionally, there are so many family trees, for example, on the portal: https://www.myheritage.pl/ that by entering a few ancestors, there will likely be some matches and the possibility of obtaining more data and additional family members. Give it a try. I have complete records for four generations of ancestors. Then, in the fifth generation, there are gaps. In the tenth generation, I have only 10 out of 1008 people who were there. In total, I have identified 290 direct ancestors. My oldest confirmed and known ancestor was born around 1713, and interestingly, I have the original document: a dispute over a meadow where he is mentioned. My oldest uncertain but known ancestors must have been born around 1670. If anyone is interested in searching for their ancestors, I am happy to help publicly in the comments here.
