I spent 4 years at this convent and orphanage, That's me with the blond hair on the right, It was not all bad memories, The nuns were from France, and were orphans there selves having no choice but to come to the U.S. and run Saint Vincent de paul's, You could tell their heart wasn't in it, they merely went thru the motions, but my sister and I survived, I often wonder what became of all the other girls.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
