Hi

Hi everyone,
My name is Kayla Weissmann, and I am in 8th grade.
Sorry it took me so long to write this message. I actually didn't even know that all these connections were being made until late this summer. I would just like to say that this family tree is crazy.
I started this family tree last year when I was studying the holocaust and finding family members of mine who were killed in the holocaust. I came across several family members who's names were listed on the Yad Vashem website. I spoke to my grandfather and compiled a small family tree of my father's side of the family. I worked on this tree later, when I was doing a roots project, also for Hebrew class.
I later added in some of my mom's side, and then all of you guys out there came to my aid.
I just want to say that I am shocked. I never expected anything like this to happen and I am amazed. This is so awesome!
It is crazy to think that just a year ago I thought I had a tiny family, and now I can see that it, in fact, isn't tiny. My mind is officially blown.
I think finding relatives you would have never known about is incredible and it's so interesting to figure out how you are related to everyone.
I just want to thank everyone for contributing to this amazing experience that I'm sure not many people my age would have had.

Warmly,
Kayla
