We all have a story to tell. Some speak louder than others. Listen closely to hear the stories of our ancestors echoing under our footsteps. They are the authors. We are the keepers.

  3. Astrid, she is my great great grandmother. Is there anyone in your tree to whom you feel especially close. She is the one with whom I feel a special bond - and she died almost 40 years before I was born. Strange, huh, or can you relate? ;)

    Also, thanks for the reminder that I should put some biographical info with the pictures - I totally forgot!
