Today I start our Forefathers’ Traces Tours Blog. While accompanying descendants of emigrants on many ancestral tours throughout Poland I have seen so many moments of joy, happiness and often deep reflections… Almost every day has been memorable and full of emotion. I thought, why not show a little of that to others…? The idea of this blog was born.
I want to record and relate here Forefathers Traces Tours of my guests (of course, always with their permission and maybe with their active participation). I hope that we will be able to show you the places from the old country, hometowns where our ancestors were born, lived and for which they longed after emigration. I believe it may be interesting experience not only for the people who have the luck to visit their fathers’ homeland personally but also for those who are not able to do this now, but may be planning to do this in the future, or just want to see (maybe watch and listen, too) what others have experienced.
Maybe not every day and every post we will be meeting relatives in the original houses of our gggrandparents like Louie did (click here: Sitting Down In My GGGrandfather’s house for Louie’s story) but I think we will have chance to experience many good emotions and better understand life of our forefathers by stepping in their footprints and meeting people living currently there.
P.S. One more advantage of the blog – if you are close to those traveling you will be always up-to-date on what your relatives or friends are doing now
