02 / Our origins

It begins with
one grandfather.

What we know is simple. Our grandfather had eight children, and our father was the eighth. Each child is the beginning of a branch, with stories still to be gathered.

This is the first page of that record. The names, places, and recollections can be filled in by the people who know them.
