    This collection focuses on a particularly challenging chapter of my family's past, dating back to the 1600s and early 1700s in colonial America, a time marked by conflict and cultural clashes.

    The era we are delving into was characterized by profound misunderstandings and tensions between the European settlers and the Native American tribes, each defending their way of life in an ever-changing landscape.

    The Native American tribes, with their rich and diverse cultures, had been living on this land for thousands of years. Their connection to the land was deep-rooted, and their societies were complex and varied. The arrival of European settlers brought unprecedented changes, often leading to conflicts, as both groups sought to protect their communities and resources.

    In this context, my ancestors, like many others, faced challenges and hardships. Some of them tragically lost their lives in raids conducted by Native American tribes. These events were undoubtedly painful and significant for my family's history. In presenting the list of my ancestors and their stories, I hope to provide a respectful tribute to their lives, acknowledging the tragedy they faced while also recognizing the broader historical context that led to these events.
