Connecting our history to our present is an important task. While we may not be able to travel to the past to meet our ancestors or see what their world looked like then, we can become aware of where that history took place and develop one more connection to them. These resources are meant to help develop the story of where we came from. Where in the world did we come from? Where did our family go and what was that story?
The links on this page contained maps, photos and geographical connections to our past. Family members are encouraged to submit their own stories and/or geographical connections.
