Should I tell that I am very interested in knowing who were my ancestors, what they did for a living and how they lived?

Would you believe I think it is remarkable what people find out about their ancestors and it's just not something I, personally, am interested in?

Would you believe that a great, great grandfather on my maternal side was sentenced to a penal colony in Australia from England for taking possession of some stolen rope?

Isn't it correct that Australia was established as a penal colony for Great Britain?

Yes that is correct and would you believe it was a very brutal start for white settlement and for the indigenous people of Australia?

Rather than make a long post, here, would you believe I just sent you a private message re that discussion? Are many Americans familiar with Australian history?

After over 200 years as a democracy, are you aware how close we are to seeing that end depending on the results of the November 2025 election?

Yes I am aware of the American political situation and I am wondering if the majority of Americans are aware of this fact?
