#Genealogy tip: It is difficult for someone to be born several years after either of their parents has died.
@MakerWerks That's why I gave a caveat.
@MakerWerks In vitro fertilization will also cause some age gap confusion for future genealogists.
@poemblaze how far back have you gotten?
@insomniacviolin The earliest known ancestors I am confident in are around 1400. My ancestors of the surname Parrot(t) have lived in the region of Audincourt, France for hundreds of years, and there are birth and death records.
@poemblaze nice! Dad has a cousin doing genealogy stuff and worked back to 1300/1400 Jettebrüch in Germany I believe?
Ancestory DNA results on dad confirmed findings for German, Danish, and Eastern European (great grandma come to find out in documents coming to America was Polish!)
@poemblaze Generally true unless you subscribe to the idea that involves a big star, some wise men, and a barnyard birth. In that case, the carpenter was basically optional.
