This has been asked many times before, and will be asked many times again, and that is completely okay.

It can be normal to not have memories of your kintype.

However, it is important to make sure you know what memories are.

Not every memory is a visual recollection of events one after another.

Sometimes a memory is a familiar smell.

Sometimes a memory is “just knowing” and being sure of something.

Sometimes a memory is an impression of a face.

Sometimes a memory is a recollection of touch.

Sometimes a memory is music you don’t know where you heard it.

Sometimes a memory is knowing the sound of someone’s voice.

Memory is different for everyone, and not every memory is something that plays out like a flashback. This is as true for regular memories as it is for kin memories.
