Not Work Safe .

None of us have any control over what our ancestors did, Bro.

About 4 years ago I got into genealogy. My mother is from eastern North Carolina with significant family from Eastern Virginia, my dad was from Wisconsin. I have found people who fought for the North and the South, slave owners and tenant farmers, and everything in between. It is what it is.

Same here. My Irish peeps entered in NC and gradually moved north to the midwest. I had family who fought on both sides. Now, I have family in California who are more embarrassing. Lol. They are my still my peeps.
 
10-15 years ago I had a co-worker whose uncle or great-uncle (I forget) "fought for the Germans" in WWII. I helped find the family member, we even found a picture of him!

In his SS Sicherhiestdienst dress uniform. My man was a no kidding war criminal.

Genealogy is fun.

On one of those survival shows on TV one of the guys said, "nature is neither for you nor against you; it just 'is'". Genealogy is the same. The only time I take pleasure in finding skeletons is if someone deserves it. I had a very racist cousin, hated black people, our tree not only had slave owners, but also cross-pollination with blacks. He refused to believe 'our' family had, uh, intimate relations with non-Caucasians.
 
I like the psyops effect of South African policing.
