When I went to Ireland to meet my mothers cousins, she had met my father whilst he was working in the UK, my mother died in 1966, they gave me a photo of my grandparents. It was the first time I had ever seen a photo of them…..I balled my eyes out. It was an amazing feeling. The next photo was of my grandmothers parents and brothers and sisters……most of the children died young. Amazing.

Doesn’t matter how many times you watch these types of shows, there will always come a time when the subject will start top tear up and realise just how strong the emotional connection is with family, even if you’re never met them or they’ve already passed on...

It seems I have met a lot more people than I had originally thought.

I always find it very moving to see that people are becoming emotional when they see pictures of their ancestors or read stories about them...even if it are ancestors more than a 150 years ago. The reason is that we all feel the familyconnection..we feel that we are descendants of people we have never met. I live in the Netherlands and I did some genealogy research myself on my family. I went back to the year 1592..11 generations back. I have been collecting information for about 15 years now. Every time I show parts of this information to my family, even second or third cousins, they are always very much interested in our common ancestry. These emotions are real, as Tea shows in this clip. We all have a need to know where we come from.

Such an amazing feeling to know where you come from and to whom you belong 😊

I am lucky enough to have known ALL FOUR of my grandparents from the time I was born until WAY after I graduated from college. All 4 of my grandparents lived right here in this small town of 12,000 population from the early 1950s........I was born in 1958..........until they ALL passed away in the late 1990s. My Mom's parents lived less than a mile from the home I was raised in......and I lived in the same house from the time I was born until I left for college..........and my Dad's parents lived even closer that that. I saw all 4 of my grandparents at least once a week from birth to age 18, when I went out-of-state for college. So I consider my self truly BLESSED!

Ancestry.com is a great place as is the national archives (if you're in the U.S.).

I got the only photo of my grandmother, Laura - who I adore, but never met. My granfather abandoned her and their 3 children: 2 girls, my mother 18, my aunt age 19, and a boy aged 8, and remarried and have 2 daughters. I met them all, was very close to them, Before dying, age 38, my grandmother got rid of all her photos, birth and wedding documents. My aunt, who became my godmother, hid 1 photo, and gave it to me when I turned 50 ! I made 1 copy, gave to my uncle - who always said he did not remember his mother's face. Why my aunt - his sister - never showed that photo to anyone, I will never know, she would not tell me.

I was thinking, wait, she was born in 1920, it's going to be wonderful when we see a 100 year old grandmother meet her granddaughter for the first time. And the time was running out. So, since thanks to this video we saw her meet her biological grandmother, I have a bridge to sell you.
