I FOUND MY ROOTS IN ITALY Sat Oct 9 9:30:57 US/Eastern 1999 I found my roots in Italy by accident. Being part of a community is about having people of different cultures around you. Being different is good. We are all diverse and have our own individuality. I respect all cultures and always think of what stories antiques have to tell and what culture they belonged to. My culture is very important to me. Having more than one culture in a persons life gives much fulfillment. Traditions are very important. They are a way of life as a family. Passing things down through your family is idea. I have my story on my web pages of how I found out that I had cousins in Italy and our first time meeting. It is listed at: http://members.tripod.com/pippee/ grid1.html Travel with me from American to Italy and back with all the true feelings of how it is to meet people that you never knew existed.
