Did you ever feel so driven that it became an obsessive labor of love? Three years ago, Grandma Grace told me in a dream, “You’d better write about your Vos relatives before they’re all gone.” So I interviewed over thirty relatives to capture stories about what made them special. I researched my ancestors Nicolaus and Joseph who emigrated from Münster Germany to New Munster Wisconsin in 1846, and realized seven generations of Voses have owned the Vos Homestead Farm. I hope this book inspires you to collect your own stories to pass on to future generations. Kathleen E.
