2nd cousin on mom's side had all the pioneer stuff, back to Rev war.
Think not much before coming to this land.
My middle kid tried to do my dad's side, but records not much in the old country.
War kinda trashed stuff.
Did find some form of cousins in NY and across the pond.
I don't get trying to expand the family in knowing 2nd and 3rd and ?? cousins.
Don't give a flip.
Hell I can barely keep my 1st cousins names remembered. Let alone their spouses and kids names.
There are some that take on the family history tree duty, and that is cool.
My 2nd cousin was a hillbilly but accepted that duty and did a good job.
I am appreciative of it.
He wasn't asked, just something he was passionate about and he did well. Good for him.
Big time geneology center I guess in Ft Wayne IN.
Family to me means wife and kids. Outside of that, DGAF.
Am actually a content type of person.
Seems that too many looking for extended family, tend to not be well grounded with the one surrounding them.
Theyre searching for something, and they aint never gonna find it.
