Many children lost connection with one of their parent. There are thousands and thousands of people who have not met their parents for decades. This result in lost of knowledgeable connection to one whole line of their ancestors. They would never know what illnesses were ancestors suffering, what remedies they used, what practices they undergo to treat it, what helped and what did not.
