I'm unclear from your post if you're trying to chase down your own ancestry or not.

I don't have any suggestions on how to go about doing that. I only have a warning against submitting your own DNA to any sites that tell you they will do that for you.

Nobody read the fine print when they did that for years, and now all of that info is in an alphabet agency database. An inevitable outcome which was obvious to anybody who put two seconds thought into it before mindlessly clicking the "I Agree" button.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

In modern civilisation looking back you are going back into very different times, a very different era. All these old guys kept records, the Anglican parish registers - the old Japan and Chinese monks across Asia, the Roman Catholics the Vatican, the old Jews, The National Parliment and Government Offices. There is an old page with a few numbers places dates and names on it. The Missionaries, old State supported hospitals and Orphan homes the old Soviet buildings and everyone has a connection somewhere and it has been recorded. A key here is asking some old guy some old archiver to interpret the data, let's imagine an old story. A story about a kid at say 7 or 8 becoming man of the house might not mean he's the Father, it could be an illness sweeps the town or the Dad and older brothers died in some war or a flu and all of a Sudden he's the Head Man of a Farm or Manor or something, a child can suddenly become a king or father of a house or an owner, someone got crushed by a horse suddenly a little cousin can instantly own a fanmily business or names quickly change.


Expect a few shocks, every history has skeletons, old secrets they wanted buried.
