Just ask the Mormons. I always heard they had some extensive genealogy databases.
Or they could be very, very large and have a totally different chemical structure.
(based on the observation that whenever we declare what IS or ISN'T possible, the Universe shows us the opposite about 2 months later)
I don’t see the current location of the solar system as being a beehive of activity where a large cluster of stars used to be.
I am more inclined to believe that we were blown out of a cluster of stars closer to the center of the galaxy, into a remote and distant arm of the galaxy.
Find the same stellar DNA as the Sun and compare it to other stars.

I would say that the birth place is out on the arms of the galaxy then they are dispersed
That is a picture of a supernova. A supernova is a trigger for stars to form.It compresses the gases and dust.The collapse of the cloud into a more central ball causes the atoms to collide more frequently, therefore causing the gases to begin heating. The Trifid nebula is home to many newborn stars and solar systems to be form.I think that the Gaia astrometry satellite will be able locate the siblings of the Sun
Many civilizations believed that the center of the galaxy was the “birthplace” of the solar system.Solar System is lucky enough to lie in a Galactic Habitable Zone,28000 ly from the center.
