    About this ebook

    Like most of us, I have always had the powerful desire to learn about my family history. Knowing about our past, our ancestors, and experiences that mould our lives can give us a deeper understanding of who we are and how we fit into the greater tapestry of life. I am very fortunate to have all four grandparents living near me, constantly in my life, guiding me and weaving their wisdom from generation to generation, not only through genes and family traditions, but their love, example and lessons.

    An unknown author beautifully wrote:

    “Grandparents are a family's greatest treasure, the founders of a loving legacy. The greatest storytellers, the keepers of traditions that linger on in cherished memory. Grandparents are the family's strong foundation. Their very special love sets them apart. Through happiness and sorrow, through their special love and caring, grandparents keep a family close at heart.”
