Reflections
This section gathers the personal writings that live alongside the documented history of our family. While other pages trace names, dates, land, and lineage, here are the moments that shaped how that history was felt and experienced.
Within these pages are reflections on loss and presence, on growing up, on family stories, and on the quiet turning points that led this research to begin in the first place. Some pieces are rooted in specific events — such as Being at Death or What Happened? — while others simply pause to consider memory, gratitude, and the meaning of belonging.
If the genealogical pages tell us where we came from, these reflections explore what it has meant to live it.
