Home / Memoirs / Family My Family Portraits, episodes and memories about those who formed my family and my roots. Family Portraits My parents — the beginning of my family: how my parents met, how their love endured and the atmosphere of the Melchisedec household before the Second World War. Mama Linica — the support of my childhood: care, rigor, readings and the routine that kept the house in balance. Great-grandmother Lina — the older roots and a period portrait: the memory of the first years lived near her. Grandmother Maria — the paternal line: unhappy destiny, family episodes and traces kept over time. Uncle Radu — family presence and events that complete the picture of the house and his generation. Aunt Anca — my mother's first cousin, settled in New York, one of the warm and generous presences of our family. In Search of a Grandfather — an anonymized genealogical hypothesis born from DNA, archives and family silences. Back to "Memoirs"
