These recordings are for all family members and importantly younger generations and generations to come. Hopefully they will span many decades and because of that we have introduced aspects of historical relevance, as an example we can’t presume future generations will know about a pandemic in 2020.

They were recorded in January 2023 in Graddy’s dining room by her eldest daughter Judy and her husband Ross. Occasionally throughout the recordings Graddy will refer to “you” that should be taken as Judy.

On that note Dutch vocal pronunciations have some inconsistencies when translated to english “J” being one, as an example Graddy will pronounce Judy as Yudy, you will notice this with other words and sounds throughout.
