Impact of the moon

Permanent Linkby Hallusinating on Tue Aug 09, 2011 2:44 pm

Yesterday i watched a really good documentary about finding once roots. It was a famous female writer from Norway called Unni Lindell who was searching back at her roots and she found many things had happened to her family.

First of all she blamed one man in her family for being a recluse when it came to showing his feelings.
She blamed him for many of the problems that had been in her family.
Then when she discovered that this man (who i think was her grand grand father or something, father to her grandfather would perhaps be more correct), she discovered that he had lost his mother when he was only 7 months old. There had been miners in her family. The man who was married to this particular mother (who died when she was only 33 years old from sot in her lungs). He winded up getting married again and having 7 more kids on top of the two he had with her.

Another celebrity who is a business man who owns a big brewery and probably many other things found out that he was related to not one but many famous bohemians in his family. His heritage could found all the way back into the 1300.
pretty fascinating what can be discovered.

Unni Lindell also discovered that her ancestors came from Sweden and had changed her last name to Lindell from a swedish town(think it was Linkjøping?)

I can recognize myself a bit in what she said about this seclusive man who she had in her family. I feel like both my grandfather and my mother is a bit of the same type as this mans person in her family was.
My grandfather experienced world war two as a prisoner on the verge of being killed and he had problems there but he never talks about it, all he says is that it was like hell.

Lindell stood by the grave site to one of her ancestors and said that its not easy to give something you don`t have.
A pretty deep program about families struggles and what can happen to the other people who stands around that one person.

One person in a family can have great impact on the rest.
