How I Got to Today

"This is a story of the 1892 emigration of my great-grandmother, Biena, from northern Germany to the USA. I am proud of my great-grandmother and the courage she had to sustain through this experience. Not only does her story offer me insight into the woman that she became, but it also offers perspective on so many of our challenges of today. Each of us has at least one story about our family. That story might be from many generations ago or as recent as last week. If the stories are not shared, they will be lost forever."
