Family heritage holds a special place in my heart, beautifully encapsulated by Billy Bragg’s song ‘Pass It On’. This verse resonates deeply with me, inspiring the stories shared here.
“You can get facts from the web, but details are priceless and can often only be learned orally from relatives. Yet too many of us rue the fact that we are left to piece together family stories from fragments we recall because we never asked our elders those questions.”
Billy Bragg (Sep 2021)
