Where were they?

Ofcourse, we all have ancestors. As.I was thinking about the ideal mix of Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, Viking, I was I thought two main things. 1) it is never an accident, and 2) What and where were they when Jesus walked on the earth?
While I was thinking about how we are supposedly identical to our spirits then I started thinking about how that would limit the people with the correct genetic make up to be our ancestors. Uh, but they say you take on attributes of those you are with, and there are always the unexplained mutations. It makes sense that we would want to be with kindred spirits, huh?
Anyway, my thoughts ended when I thought about Paul's warnings to the early churches to stop making up fancy genealogies. I was me, and though I owe my physiological make up to those from who I inherited it, ultimately, God is the father of my soul and my spirit defines who I,become.
(Interesting thing I heard: There are those who believe God is just the creator of mankind. Subsequently, it was pointed out how that can be proved false easily. No invention ever became it's inventor or just as foolish no building ever became an architect.)
Although it is no mistake who begat,me on earth and that is significant for some reason, it is unhealthy to obsess over it as a key to some great truth.
But, instead, I wonder more about the little things. As a spirit, I existed in Heaven and chose to be born to my lineage, and to so be taught and my ancestors depend on me, but that,makes me wonder why.
Why didn't they follow God anywhere they could? For crying out loud, I had ancestors in upstate New York when Joseph Smith was there, didn't they ever hear him or question for themselves? Supposedly, they spearheaded a religious colony in Rhode Island (maybe this is a fantasy of someone) so, they were looking for a truth.
Ultimately, they believed so many false things and Gods when they,had the chance, and now they have come to accept a truth and I am told that they are dependent on me to get the work done for them, and I believe it and owe them so much, like my sturdy constitution (allowing me to survive near death many times. Even the doctors asked who my ancestors were, and I fantasized about that frozen super human chick on stargate SG-1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn8sud_5onE). It is also no coincidence that I do have the opportunities both through the internet and so,many available temples, to get the ordinances done that they require be done on earth.
Doesn't it nearly break your heart to know that someone desperately wants something so bad and you have the power to give it to them? That was how I felt about doing Brandall's geneology/temple work. But, you know, we share a lot of the same attributes and locations. I would not be shocked to learn that we are related.
One time, when we first met he asked me if I ever met someone but just felt like I had known them all of my life. Then he asked if I understood why he felt like giving me a great big hug. Aww sweet, huh? Just think of how it will be to see our ancestors again. I will feel terrible unless I do this work for them, (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et1vrvApDsA.) as then I am sure that they will try to assist me in anyway they can. It helps to have connections. J'ai du travaille.
