didn’t end up in a branch that’s still active

Could you elaborate, please? I know Jack about farming and this sounds fascinating

So, my ancestors, at least as far back as great-great grandparents, came here and took some land from the Natives (hey, just admitting it is part of reconciliation). Over time, they had an ever-increasing number of descendants, but the amount of land stayed the same. Some inherited, some presumably didn't, and many wanted to do things other than farming with their life and sold their land. My grandparents never farmed, except just to help friends and family, and the last of their land was sold a few years back. (Conversely, I have a great uncle who owns fuck-you amounts of land)
