At least for my grandfather and step grandma, it is easy. Beyond that, there might not be much. I don’t think we are a warrior clan or anything of the sort. So it will not be interesting, I think

What sources are you using, Mak – family recollections, clan oral history, official documents which presumably don’t go back very far?

More information would be great.
That’s one thing the morons are very into…..genealogy. In my case, my grandfather, & his siblings, & his father kept diaries, which my grandmother had made into a book.
