I am impressed that you can trace your family's origins back to the year 1600. In my culture we give almost no importance to historical memory. Most of us go as far back in time as our grandparents or great-grandparents. Very few can talk about the origins of their families, going back more than 80 or 100 years.
Today's world is really complicated, when I was born in the middle of the 20th century everything was simpler, the future was provisional, but my granddaughters are facing conditions that can be difficult.
I see that in your publication you insist a lot on talking about values, about coexistence. I also believe that this is important.
I will keep an eye on your publication. Thank you for the initiative, dear @ericvancewalton . A big hug from Maracay.
Note: I use translator, my native language is Spanish.
Yes, the first four Walton brothers sailed from England to the Colonies in 1682 aboard a ship called the Welcome.
It was simpler when I was raised in the 1970s too. I'm not sure if it was easier or not here. I didn't always notice the struggles my parents were going through when I was younger.
I really appreciate your participation! Thank you!
