Why would finding out you were related to a figure from history at all change how you would view that history?

- zen_1 4y agoPersonally as a child it helped me humanize these historical figures and view them as I would an uncle or grandfather, as opposed to the sometimes one-dimensional treatment notable figures would get from the educational system or culture you learn about them from. Now as an adult it's perhaps less interesting, but I still know significantly more random trivia about historical figures I'm distantly related to compared to others.
- Zurrrrr 4y agoThat makes sense. Thanks.
