Generational Memories
This is really weird. Some of your memories may not be your own.
We can ask God what is ours and allow Him to remove something else that was "placed" in us.
This happened to me once when I was praying and feeling pain from my Irish heritage, which I didn't feel like is was my pain. Whoa.
Scientifically, it turns out this phenomnena can be trauma from your nearest relatives, often called "transgenerational epigenetic inheritance."
If the memories are negative, then there are fascinating ways to invite God in to overwrite the data (and thus drain the pain).

Remembering God Loves You
In those times when the darkness has unmercifully pummeled you time and time again, then break from from the majority viewpoint and stop looking only to man for teaching, and begin again to personally and persistently consult My Spirit into all truth, and all victory.
Here Beloved is the secret of the snare: The darkness comes as if it were My Spirit and again convicts you and your family. Your memory may recall it and feels the sting again, causing you to falsely believe that you were not successful in your attempt to repent and receive forgiveness. So successful is this tactic that many of My people have suffered for years upon agonizing years over sins that have been long ago forgiven, and put in the sea of forgetfulness and remembered no more. Tragically, many wonderful gifts that I have given to the Body sit unused under shrouds of guilt and self-condemnation. But they are yours! Receive the unclaimed gifts of your family's destiny.
Know beloved, that I too have a memory. I remember the cost that was paid, and in truth, continues to be paid on your behalf. It is important that as you come up for air with this truth that you remember this most important quality of My love. Always see you and yours as I do—loved in every area, in every way possible. Receive My heart into all you are.
