IOWA IMAGES: DUTCH IMMIGRANT HISTORY ILLUSTRATED
by Irene Kooi Chadwick
Links


"The spirits of my mother and father are in me - as are the spirits of their ancestors. We pass on the spirit and the truth of who we are - and of all those who came before us. Our children inherit our spirit. Their children and their children's children carry on the truth and spirit of those who have gone before. We are links connecting past families to future families. I see myself as a single link in a long chain with many links."
