Yes actually, before the pandemic my family went on a trip to England for my dad's birthday, and part of the trip was visiting my great×3 grandfather's grave, and seeing the house that was in the family for over 150 years. We actually got to sit down and talk with the current owners, who still had the original deed with his name on it.

Not yet. I don't believe in an afterlife or that they're watching over us, so before I started my family tree, I didn't see the point.
Now that I'm researching them, I want to get the details of the grave and see where they were buried. Also, my great grandfather died during the first World War and was buried abroad. I found researching his grave to be quite interesting, and I'm going to visit the memorial to him and the other members of the military who died during the war.
I honestly have no idea where my ancestors died past my great grandparents 🤔
I'd love to but unfortunately Israel bulldozed the entire village.
No. I live in a different country than my forefathers
