Congratulations Adriana! This is such an amazing honor and so well deserved. As I read the history of your family thru your words, it makes me wonder about my own ancestors. Why did I never ask? Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles are long gone but the older I get the more I wonder about my Swedish and German roots. Your stories give me the incentive I need to begin my own search. I may not be able to hear their stories but I can research where I am from and learn about that area and maybe get an inkling into my heritage. Thank you for lighting this spark . ❤️
