    Eh… Just because you aren’t white doesn’t mean you’re any more connected to your ancestral history.

    I for one know a lot more about the Czech side of the family than I do the Korean. Part of that is because the Czech side were all part of the Moravian church, and were obsessed with record keeping. While the Korean side was torn in two by the Korean war. So I mainly just have some pictures and stories going back to my grandparents, and that about it.

        No worries, I didn’t take offence or anything. Just thought I’d add another perspective. Modernity and globalization has its ups and downs, and tends to make things like ancestry a little more complicated than it used to be.
