I get it now. If a person was born out of wedlock, and they came from 'blue blood', they could be a liability or in reality, they wouldn't have a place in the 'aristocrat line', which I think is stupid.
She would have no police in society. If she stayed with her birth mother, the birth mother would have been ruined and couldn't marry into a 'good blue blooded' family.
so crazy how the world once worked. Sadly there are people who still think like that.
In truth, what I really want, is to understand the family where my great-great grandmother came from.
I enjoy the mystery, I enjoy the genealogy. I enjoy uncovering the truth.
And thanks to old time photos, I think I might found the family she came from.... but yeah I know, I need that darn paper trail.
which sadly might NOT exist.
