Ah, I thought my Mom’s side was the Norm.

My mom’s side is awesome. Though, they didn’t end up in WWI or WWII. They hit the awkward zone where the family in both case had nobody of the right age to fight in those wars.

My Dad’s side (the Dutch part) did. A large number of them died.

That is too bad.

I’ve been doing some genealogy lately and find very little military participation by my ancestors. There was a tendency for males to be the wrong age for military service during conflicts. A few served but more didn’t.
