I wouldn't want to see my future ancestors, I may not like what have to tell me or show me. I like to see how people lived in the past, I like seeing old movies, the things that people did back in the 20's or 30's is beautiful, the cars, houses, clothes, furniture, everyday things we have now but take for granted.

Interesting question but I definitely have to go with ancestors. It's much more interesting to look into your past and see where your roots come from, maybe see if anyone looks like you or has the same habits or talents.

Interesting question!  Definitely my ancestor because it would be so interesting!  Especially if it was way far back.

Well I don't have any kids and don't plan to start, so ancestor it is. Anyway I love researching the family tree, and there are a few mysteries and rumors I'd like to ask someone about. I have a couple of great-great-grandparents that were born out of wedlock and difficult to find information on...

I would say ancestor since I'm more interested in the past rather then the future.

I say both but I choose ancestors because I can learn from the past and to see what it was like.

My ancestors. I don't think meeting my descendants would be that interesting.

Not sure.  Knowing about your past and future can be a little iffy.  Am not sure there are things I would like to know in the past or the future.
