A close blogpal of mine is of Dutch heritage. Their genealogy were traced when they were trying to find missing beneficiaries of some properties in the country of which they are currently residing. It was very difficult at first to trace their family’s roots because a lot of them had lived and resided in different countries around the world.
However, due to the present innovations in technology, it made things less of an inconvenience. Everything is now done in just a click of the fingers by typing away those words and voila! The long lost relatives and families can be easily found! That is indeed the power of computer and technology.
I actually know some real stories of long lost families and it’s quite heavy drama when they finally meet face to face after so many years of separation. I thought it happens only in movies but it is more poignant when you yourself can be a witness of such. I personally can not hold back the tears. It’s a real tear- jerker!
As for my case, I have no problem tracing back my lineage as most of the relatives are here in the country. Furthermore, our clan always organize the family reunions annually. In this manner can we only bond and strengthen family ties.
