Oh no, I get that completely, and that’s not rude at all. Most people won’t be into family history stuff, that’s just a fact. I know that there will always be a chance that he will be lost to time. I’m not wanting a guarantee, but I want to up the chances for if/when someone down my line gets into it. And, if what my family looks like now is any indicator, there will be at least one in every generation.

That's fair enough, of course. Hopefully you can preserve his memory! :3

I never met my mum's family (cause they disowned her and were meanies) so all I know is my dad's side.

Yeah, I have a similar situation. My mom's grandmother was very nice to her, but her mother and father were just terrible. Her father was physically abusive and her mother was emotionally abusive. The stuff they did would have been heavily slammed with child abuse charges and would have landed the father in an orange jump suit if he did that in today's age.

I never met her father (my grandfather, and I'm glad for that), but man, her mother was really horrendous. We tried repeatedly to get on good terms with her and be open and friendly but no, no no, it was always a one-way "you're here to serve me and not the other way around" relationship and despite all our efforts, we pulled the plug. Even when she passed, she tried to divide us by only giving my mom, my sister, and myself only $1 while my brother got $5000. No explanation. He was awesome about it and used the money to pay for a vacation for all of us to France and Belgium.

We had cousins on that side of the family and they were bloody rotten, also (and they were given all the good stuff from the will). One was a liar and a snitch and the other liked to steal stuff and had sick perverted thoughts. Pulled the plug on all of them and we haven't talked to any of them for like 20 years by now. Sometimes you have to do these kinds of things if it seems like compromise is impossible. You may not get justice at the end, but you don't have to put up with the evil.
