I have made great progress on interpreting the file from Bram. It is mostly all of the information that has been sent to him by Edwin Plantage, Cozette and myself on our family so it is going quite fast. There was some information on my great-grandfather that I did not have so that was interesting. I have had for a long time the dates and names of family members older than that time frame but no pictures and very little personal information on their lives. I don’t know if more information is even available. My records will never go into the detail that I imagine will be in the book Bram is working on. Hopefully it will go into more detail of events of the past. Many people are not interested in reading about their family when it goes back beyond a few generations but I have great interest in their lives. What diseases did they have in their health history, is their something important or noteworthy they have accomplished in their lives or were their hobbies and talents related to the hobbies and talents of our current generation. So the file came and now it goes into the to do drawer for a short time to attend to later because the Paterje has arrived in the mail. Once again our family picture is on the cover thanks to the hard work of those in the family that have given information to be passed on. We have been written up many times in the quarterly magazine and I have had a couple articles in it. Anyone wishing information on how to join the organization can contact me and I will be glad to help you out any way that I can.
