This presentation will focus on the incredibly interesting journey to uncover the genealogy of the Roffe and Wahnish families from Tangiers to the Americas and back to Morocco and France. The presenter will unfold the family secrets, trace their occupations, and show the families were intertwined over several generations through intermarriage. When the family doubted their relationship, documentation, photos and family stories helped put the pieces of the puzzle together.
