Happy Birthday Keith Erichsen & Tomasz Raczkiewicz

Last October, I wrote a letter that started out: “I am writing to you because I think we are related to each other. I hope you are happy to hear from me. I want to learn more about my relatives and where they are from. That is the reason I am reaching out to you.” The letter was to Tomasz Raczkiewicz, who was the first living family member in Poland I learned about. I got his name from Curt Wolf (my 4th cousin) who I have never met but who had a family tree with some of my relatives in it.
