Share your legacy and find meaning and purpose in your life and the lives of generations to come. This book will also provide you with the tools needed to continue your journey of self-exploration of your life’s journey. We owe it to our children to teach them about the true meaning of family and the importance of leaving a legacy for generations to come. These six families have stayed connected and demonstrated how their parents’ teachings have been the glue that has kept their present generations together by using the principle of “Each One Teach One.” This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to know more about their family history and wants to pass on the importance of knowing your heritage and staying connected.
