As you get older you wonder about locations you were shown in your childhood and these encourage you to investigate your ancestors.  Even so there remain mysteries as you widen your researches to include the female lines.  Absolute proof becomes more elusive as you go back in time and the "best working hypothesis" is a useful concept a scientific training develops.
