Unbidden and random memories flood your mind often in the most inopportune moments. While distracting, these memories also offer knowledge you hadn't even dreamed you had. When faced with a situation or problem that pertains to the area of expertise of your ancestors you may ask a question about the situation which the dungeon master will answer according to similar situations your ancestors might have faced in their lifetimes. Sometimes the memories might be cryptic and difficult to interpret, in other times they are sharp and clear and might even threaten to take over your personality for a time.
