Ramis Arboris - Branches of a Tree
Moreover, my ancestors' souls are sustained by the atmosphere of the house, since I answer for them the questions that their lives once left behind. I carve out rough answers as best I can. I have even drawn them on the walls. It is as if a silent, greater family, stretching down the centuries, were peopling the house.

A miller and a landowner from Lower Saxony, Germany, a merchant from Bremen, an officer in the Spanish royal army, a rancher from Baja California, miners from the Durango mountains, an Italian opera singer who graced London's opera houses in the 18th century, and Hanoverian lawyers and councilors. Their families branched out, converged and intertwined, creating a family tree rich in people and their stories. This is a journey to the past, discovering the ancestors, descendants and families of four grandparents; Jesús María Tarriba Echavarría, Rosa Rodil Saiz, Fritz Unger Glade and Maria Carlota Ferreira Hidalgo, as well as their friends and business partners, whose lives were intertwined with theirs.
