Long Distance Travelers

[Next] | Starting Anew

Though it is cliché, one cannot help to say "life is a journey." Whether the journey is considered as changes in physical location or to be comprised of living events, what matters most to life travelers is the ability to immerse in the culture of a place and how they would interact, endure, overcome and live out their life.

Since family stories tended to be told often without a specific date and time, the actual beginning of a family history is usually unknown. As for our family history, there is no difference. There are stories about ordinary people, like many others, who had traveled through life and I’m just a representation of their continuation.

Documented here is a collection of stories resulting from my ongoing research in preservation of family history for members of the younger generation - nieces and nephews - to carry it forward.
