What do you do with boxes, folders, and notebooks full of old family photos, letters, and documents? This author was determined to get her family’s rich history in print. Off and on through the years, she organized, talked to relatives, transcribed letters, consulted with a translator, researched, wrote, edited, and so forth. Through it all, a plan emerged. The result: a comprehensive account of one family’s journey across an ocean and over decades encompassing two centuries, full of rich first-person accounts and detailed historical context. Truly, this book is a treasured gift for family members to help celebrate and remember their past.
