Genealogical bewilderment

Genealogical bewilderment is when you don't know much about the family history of your ancestors. If you don't know much about your grandparents, great-grandparents and other people in your family who lived in the past, you may feel very confused and unsure about where you came from. Genealogical bewilderment is very common and there are ways to learn more. Doing research online, talking to family members and looking through records from the past can help you learn more about your family's history.
