Ancestry.

I guess what frustrates me is that in England, there's tons of online resources for finding your ancestry, but it's only relevant if your family's been predominantly in this area of land for lots of generations.

I had to harass almost all my family so they can tell me more of the family blood line, i spend around 1 year and a half to discover the small piece of info i have

One of my friends tried to find the birth records for her family members, which were all stored in the local church where most of her family lived. Happens so that the church was burned down during the war so all records are lost. Her grandfather still can't get a birth certificate because he formally doesn't even exists.

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

I did find one disturbing thing. There was a birth certificate for a child who died only a few hours after birth, and under cause of death was written \"monstrosity\". The records are scanned in and the hand-writing was hard to read, but I'm almost positive that's what it said. I still haven't figured out if it was a relative, or just someone with the same last name though.

Wow..What year was the death?
