Does everyone want to talk about his or her ancestors? Not really． Some people may have been adopted or may have divorced parents that they do not care to discuss． Some Australians are also sensitive about their ancestors for a different reason． In the early years of its settlement, many thousands of British citizens were transported to Australia for criminal offences． These offences were often mild for such a punishment, for example, a hungry child stealing a loaf of bread． Regardless, many Australians are descended from criminals and while some people laugh about it, others are not proud of the fact．
