Creating a family history is very much like combining the delicate
flavors of an old recipe. I begin with the historic aspects
the country, region, province, and town, then add maps, logos
and photos. To this mixture I fold in the flavors of folklore,
traditions, songs, proverbs, and poetry. I next stir in the
information about the immigrant experience at Ellis Island and
show photos of the ships on which my ancestors traveled. To
this crown of beauty I add the most precious jewel of all, the
genealogical data made up of ancestral and pedigree charts…
To the future generations of my family, I wish to hand down
the most comprehensive compilation that I am capable of producing.
There is a story to be told. Our lineage began as illiterate
farmers engulfed in poverty who persisted to become a family
that now possesses numerous college degrees and successful businesses
during a time span of a single century. Maybe I am mistaken
in my concept, but I believe that researchers who search for
and record names and dates alone to be missing some very unique
pieces to their ancestral mosaic. By succeeding in my quest,
only then can I begin to tell the story of who we were, who
we are, and whom we may become.
