Similar story, though less "exotic": Someone I know retraced their genealogy. They discovered that a few generations back (maybe 5 generations?), a girl was banned from the family. I don't remember why, probably something like getting pregnant from the poor miller's son. They found out that she had had children, and that her branch of the family now lived the next valley over, so my friend and brother/cousins contacted them with a nice mail like "Hey believe it or not, we're related! Here's what happened 200years ago blahblah it would be great to do a big family reunion dinner!" The response wasn't so enthusiastic, more along the lines of "we know. We've been raised to hate you. History matters, please do not contact us again." People, even from the same country (literally the next village over), have very different view of lineage and history
