This is Maritza. And she is an angel.

You see, without Maritza my story would have remained a silent one. I would have never reunited with my family had it not been for Maritza, her website and her genuine kindness. When I first started searching for my family, I didn’t know where to start. I had posted a question on Yahoo Answers asking about genealogy in Romania. A lady emailed me Maritza’s website. To my surprise, her entire website was all about the village I came from. As I read through her site, I saw that she had helped other people find their ancestry in Romania. I got brave and e-mailed her asking her about my family. She responded immediately and called on her friends in Ipotesti to start investigating. One minute I was searching for my family and the next minute I was talking on the webcam to my brothers. Each day she kept e-mailing me more information about my family. I remember those moments like they were yesterday. How I stalked my computer day and night waiting for more e-mails. We constantly talked back and forth.

She is an angel. She once told me that she likes helping people with their genealogy. It’s a hobby. What an amazing hobby, huh? She does it because she loves genealogy. She told me that she was touched by my story and that she wanted to help me. I am not the only person she has helped.

Maritza – if you read this, I want you to know how much I love you for your kindness and for the angel that you truly are. With out you, my miracle would have never happened. One day we will meet in Ipotesti and I will kiss your cheek with my tears of gratitude. I could never repay you for your kindness. There are not enough words to express how I feel. Your kindness has changed the course of my whole life and brought me home again. You are an angel in my life.

Cu dragoste,
