And how exciting that you are connecting with other family members. <br />Actually, I just got back from vacation - one of the "visiting relatives" trips, and I met some family that I had never met. It is sweet. They have actually already emailed me and sent pics. <br />I'm already hoping to have an impact on this young woman's life - small though it may be..hknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-68645273936492052442009-06-19T05:06:15.324-07:002009-06-19T05:06:15.324-07:00How amazing you were able to find family through y...How amazing you were able to find family through your blog and through Wed walk!

I love the way God works to guide us in ways that look so ordinary but are nothing short of supernatural.<br /><br />I thought of you today after reading an email a friend of mine sent me. I think I have your email so I'm going to forward it to you. Just something I think you might like regarding God and food. :)<br /><br />Have fun getting to know your newly found relatives!Ediehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-29267557036787272872009-06-18T06:04:04.274-07:002009-06-18T06:04:04.274-07:00How fun to find a relative via the Internet.

I have always wondered if I would ever find out more about my ancestry on my grandmother's side, because she was disowned by her family when she left Japan. Maybe if I post something with the names that I know, someone will find it. It's a long shot, but that is the power of the internet.<br /><br />~ Kristikikolanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11964569581598373731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-48397511730801213002009-06-17T14:52:33.752-07:002009-06-17T14:52:33.752-07:00Great memories and lovely photo.

I recently connected with a man by family knew on Long Island back in 1969 (40 years ago). We send our church bulletin out by email. Someone in Arizona or New Mexico forwarded it on to Washington State then Oklahoma, where a man recognized my name and called me. Technology has shrunk our world.<br /><br />I like the attention you give to your family history. Too many of us have lost connection with our past, and that is an important part of our roots.
