Then a few months back I received an email from Jean-Claude Mialocq of Jurancon, France, who indicated that we may be related and asked if I would be interested in exploring this. I said I would and started my search, joining Ancestry.com. Jean-Claude and I exchange pictures and family information and he impressed me as a very nice man who spoke very good English and who was genuinely interested in finding out what happened to the Mialocq who had left for America. Jean-Claude, like me, wondered if he had relatives in America from our branch of the family. And were we related at all?

Then it happened. One night I watched the new show, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE. It featured Brooke Shields and her search for her own roots. At the beginning of the show the narrator said.
"You don't know who you are until you know where you came from."
That message struck my heart like cold steel. It was true and my quest began. This will change my life forever.
