Some examples

I honestly want to know if my ancestors were royalty or not BUT HOW CAN I?! ???

But where's my crown ?

Honestly I think oral history is probably the clue here

You said you were Turkish too?

I went to my dad's hometown and people told me about his side

Yeah I'm Turkish too

Wouldn't be too surprised if you had some high ranking ancestors in the ottoman empire

^^

Just by looking at the fact that you're now in Lebanon

True ?

The other people in the database that may be your relatives may be able to tell you.

Also true

But like Goldy said, it's always worth checking with locals first imo

EXTERMINATUS

The problem is that Queen can't just go to Lebanon like I can to Jamnagar

Good day

Good day indeed

Oof, that's also true

Often, there is information about older relatives connected w/ trees in the databases.

I wish I could just up and go to Faisalabad

Unfortunately, my paternal great grandparents and grandparents had to move from Turkey because of the persecutions that happened. So, my dad's aunts and uncles and cousins are probably.....

Although given the recent foreplay between Pakistan and India with those jets maybe I shouldn't go back to my dad's town anytime soon haha
Simce it's near the border

Unfortunately my dad can't tell too many stories cause he is the youngest

Oh hey! I'm near the border too!

What type of persecutions?

Ahhh that makes sense Queen

Christian persecutions
