When Alex Haley published "Roots: The Saga of an American Family" in 1976, his journey to find his family history started long before the book was published. In a similar way to Haley, my personal journey to find my Korean family history begins here. Who knows, maybe someday I will write a book!This is a picture of me on the Subway Line 2 in Seoul, South Korea on my first trip in 2009. It was this business trip that awakened my desire to find my Korean roots. Since then, I have traveled to Seoul multiple times for business.
As a fourth generation Korean-American (well, a"3.5" generation to be exact), I view myself as distinctly American but of Asian and specifically Korean ancestry. As I grow older, I find myself wanting to know more and more about my culture from Korea. And to find my long lost relatives!
