Nice article, Paul! Since my dad passed away (cancer) back in 1977, there have been plenty of questions that I've had that I didn't ask when I was just 25 years old. My mom passed away about 4.5 years ago now. More recently, even before my mom passed away, my siblings and I have continued to do research on ancestry, especially with my one sister whose chief interest now seems to be genealogy. Some years back, some members of my family were able to go back to China and find the ancestral village of my dad... quite interesting to see the video of that journey. As well, two of my sisters are intending to take a trip to visit the Chinese ancestral village of my mom, not knowing exactly what they will find. I continue to learn bits and pieces, and it's all gratifying in small ways, even if there are no stunning revelations. It's just all fascinating, isn't it? Best to you and Susan, Jack
Wow! This is an amazing story. You never know where nor when you might find some hidden treasure as this. I can feel your excitement. Congratulations, Mr. La Rosa.
