Scenario

Whether chosen family members become ancestors

My stepfather raised me but he's not blood family and now that he's dead I don't know if he counts as an ancestor or if my biological father I never knew is more important somehow.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Love-based rather than blood-based relationships complicate traditional understandings of ancestral lineage.
