Wow broke my heart. I have 2 daughters and this felt close to me. The song they played at the grave brought me to instant tears as my daughters Aunty was found dead in May 2025 and my daughter sang that song at her Celebration of Life. God bless the family. My Dad being orphaned back in 1947 Woodstock Ontario Canada and we never have found his family. Dad passed in 1990 and I took it upon myself to start an Ancestry search. Dad didn&#39;t know his parents name but after many yrs and heartbreaks I found the names of Dad&#39;s parents. Its been a Hole in my heart. Part of my family is still missing. His parents have long passed now. No siblings have been found yet. We know there are several siblings, maybe someday, maybe someday! Now Im 66 and not healthy so I hope to meet some cousins with information for me. Thanks for this documentary ❤❤🎉🎉❤❤ Bittersweet for sure 😢

So basically now that we have A.I. eventually DNA will be used across the whole spectrum to connect people&#39;s families and solve cold case. A.I. Will build such a data base that we can and will be able to look into our past and find ancient ancestors.
