Finding your roots, where you come from. I hope our children will eventually show interest, too.

It’s important to know where you come from, how you got there and what your ancestors achieved. I am a great believer in doing better than what your ancestors did.

It’s important to find out what they (your ancestors) went through. I am really grateful to not live in older centuries.

I really enjoy meeting other people interested in genealogy.
