Genealogies
This section is dedicated to our
children and their children and so on. It wasn't until I
approached middle age did I come to the realization that if it wasn't for the
decisions in life that my ancestors made, I might not exist. Those that don't
give ancestral roots or family a second thought are missing out on the most
important purposes of human life.
Both my
paternal and maternal grandparents crossed the ocean from Poland to America over
107 years ago for a better life for their families. I am most grateful for their
sacrifices and hardships.
