Dear Friends and Family,

 

You may remember my sister Suzanne, and it is to her memory that we dedicate this clip.  She knew the story of Suzanne and cross-examination - the tapestry in the clip used to hang in our hall.  My human genome results were hers too. Together we shared Slovenia’s passion for nature, its fabulous hot springs and pilgrimage treks to its river sources.  

 

This is my only regret:  Suz didn’t yet know the connections of her name with water, French placenames, Celts, and the Levant.  How she would have relished every one of those!         https://youtu.be/4GllPAEGias

 

On the subject of kinship - our recent trip to Europe helps us connect dots that before seemed so unrelated. We are excited to uncover and share other intriguing aspects of Europe’s past with you, with all of their global implications.  Thanks for your forbearance, interest and input with our film-making and, even more so, with our search for ancestral truths.

 

May all women thrive once more!

 

All best wishes for joyous holly-days,

Jacqui and Blair

Names that survived 2000 years of invasions, conquests and occupying armies
come down to us as presence from the past. 

What's in a name? 
The keys to two millennia!
