Okay, okay...

I was just notified about this post and had a good time reading it. The 2010 Rozynes/Rozines family is technically savvy. We all have cell phones and the Internet. The excuses are numerous why many of us are not in contact with each other - maybe we just want it that way? I say that we are keeping the "ROZYNES" family tradition going for yet another generation in that many of us don't talk to each other or know of many recent events in each of our lives. Yeah, I know some of us do have contact but I'm saying not everyone. We might be following the model of our our relatives and the story is as follows: Two brothers in a family of five did not see each other for over thirty-five years because they never made an effort to travel to see each other. Period. The last time they saw each other was 1947. Then one brother died and the option was over. We've all had male Rozines' pass away much to young. Let this be a note to the wise, if you want to see/talk or have any relationship with family members, do it soon. Like now.

Hi from Julie

Thanks Gal, for restarting this blog! Gal now lives a few hours from me, and brought her adorable daughter Dahlia for a visit. My kids were excited to meet their cousin and I loved seeing the newest generation.

I'm Julia (Rozines) DeVillers, daughter of Sam and granddaughter of Rachel. I grew up in Albany and visited with Gwen, Sharon, Greg and families in Rochester.

I now live in Columbus, Ohio with my husband and two children: 13-year-old Quinn (whose middle name is Rachel after my grandma) and 9-year-old Jack. My father Sam passed away in 1990. I'm a children's book author.

My twin sister Jennifer Roy lives in Saratoga NY with her husband and son Adam Samuel. She wrote a book called YELLOW STAR our aunt Sylvia's childhood in the Lodz Ghetto (Greg's mom.) The prologue talks about the Rozines family. I'll post her website so you can see more about the book: www.jenniferroy.com.

Our younger sister, Amy, is married lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

My family and I will be spending a year overseas in Tbilisi, Georgia. We're moving in March and our first trip from there will be Israel (probably in June). My daughter also is begging to go to Paris, so hopefully we will see many of our family members over this next year!
