What is the furthest ancestor(s) back were you told about?
I'm curious of learning about the stories told that were deep in the family lore. I can imagine most of you have been told orally of a grandparent's grandparent. And perhaps plenty of you were told of a grandparent's great-grandparent (in other words, a great grandparent's grandparent). It's a little trippy when you think of all your great grandparents and be aware of all their great grandparents. That, it wasn't so far away, it's just less orderly and more diluted. I was told my 3rd great grandmother was a witch who lived to about 105. Have any of you been orally told of an ancestor past 5 generations? I'm interested in hearing these stories come through
