Chasing History
Walking sticks. Romance languages. Thousand-year-old buildings and ruins. Calm demeanor. Spirit of Elijah. Before I entered high school, I found out I was a large percentage French on my father's side. I saw the pictures and learned the stories of my Lecocq ancestors. Entering high school, I opted for French instead of the more practical Spanish of the area, just so I could feel closer to them. This was one of my hugest steps on the road to figuring out my identity.I studied more French in college, and did extensive family history/genealogical research after joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. But there was always a missing link.
