52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2025: Week 5 (CHALLENGE)
In thinking about which ancestor has created a challenge to search Grandpa Max Pellack, who I knew as Clyde Robertson, is first on the list.
I write about grandpa a lot because his line really is the mystery that began my searching for where I fit in my own genealogical story.
His line was my first brick wall.
It took 20 years from when I first heard the rumour to confirm the 2 names were the same person.
Once I discovered who he really was I really thought the rest of that line would fall into place.
That is not what happened.
In the years since I haven't made much progress tracking the line before they got on the ship to come to Canada.
The brick wall still solidly stands.
The DNA results we have so far (Dad & I) have left more questions than answers.
I finally caved during the the last Black Friday sale at Family Tree DNA, and purchased a yDNA test for my dad.
It took a long time to arrive because of the Canada Post strike, but yesterday I mailed the sample to Texas.
I have huge hopes the results will make things clearer.
I fear the results will add more challenging to an already challenging situation.

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
