The Gift of My Roots
from Homecoming with Jessica · host Jessica Roemischer
On the anniversary of my beloved dad's passing, a miracle occurred - my family lineage became revealed to me, a legacy I'd resigned myself to never knowing. The generations unfolded, back in time to my great-great-great-great Russian grandfather who lived in the 1700's. I discovered, too...my family name is uncommon enough as to suggest that everyone with that name is related, and form a single family. Piano music: "Dushinka," traditional Russian love song, arranged and performed by Jessica Roemischer
