Now That I Know
As we restore the chain — a life at a time — we are transformed in many ways by the new knowledge.
I learned my genetic health history – four generations of inherited disease. Now I can take preventative measures to avoid disease and illness.
I discovered ancestors with common personality traits and skills. There is a reason for how I respond to life’s circumstances. I can shape better outcomes in the future.
I traced my ancestors through the course of history. There were survivors against all odds. I am grateful for their ingenuity and perserverance and that I am here.
I found the stories of how my ancestors paved the way for my life. I am grateful and have a new sense of obligation to carry on for the next generation.
I am still processing the lessons learned from the lives of my ancestors. The one common thread — they continued the fight for a better life through hurdles and tragedies.
As I researched ancestors and met new cousins around the world, I felt more connected — to an extended family, to a larger community, and to the Jewish people.
