Again due to the daily selfie chalenge from 
One of the main reasons people started networking was or is, contact with everyone that mattered in their life. I started of like that as well, friends from now in Belgium, friends out of my child time in Rotterdam, friends i made when i lived on Crete. Out for the Cretan part I found most of the they matter ones back. The Cretan ones not because they write different as us, and media like facebook do not make it easy to find them. You have to download a other lettertype and copy paste and all what not. But i started on social media with looking up my family. The ones that i never knew than i mean. My granddad on my mums side told us, that his grandmother moved to Amerika in 1894 (i think) with 9 children, her husband died, and she went with her grown up and a few teenagers kids to Michigan in grand Rapids. What a thing to do that time !! Find a boat and just go away to far away land never to come back again... That a woman in that time could undertake that :-o ! But as far as i know noone ever came back again, we had some far strange family coming over to look for family but that was it. With facebook it went easy i looked up the name FILIUS and came cross a bunch still in grand rapids and arround michigan. I wrote to everyone, explaining who i was, and if they thought there was a family connection, and yes there was my family in america is bigger than what i have here in Holland !! Such a shame we can not do more as stare at eachothers pictures, and think she has the nose of aunty johanna, and the other ones defenitly the ears of uncle kees. :-) this picture is far for the time as the date on t ! But it is the only one i have from the old filius kids that stayed behind ...
