Is it useful to help me find out about myself?
It may well be that you recognize certain features in your own life that are patterns that have been passed on to you. For instance, you might follow the same occupation as your father, your grandfather, or your mother or grandmother. It may be that you live in the same area, or it might be that you have a feeling of special affinity for a particular part of the country. So I think it gives you a sense of belonging to trace your family history; so I think it gives you a kind of settlement, I suppose, a satisfaction in knowing where you come from.
