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 reasons for human life.Both my paternal and maternal grandparents crossed the ocean from Poland to America over 103 years ago for a better life for their families. I am most grateful for their sacrifices and hardships.
