When I finished Dutch Letters and Canadian Memories, I believed it was the end of my family journey. I was wrong. When my brother recently moved into our parents’ cottage, it was necessary to make room for their possessions, and I went home with two boxes to sort through.

My mother re-established contact with her father, Coenraad Kater, in 1950, and I now have two books my grandfather sent. This one was for my mother’s birthday July 28, 1952.

This lovely little book of pictures is signed by her Varder (father) and captioned in both Dutch and English.

I hope you enjoy sharing my dscoveries.
