Sahabat steemit. ...
Kita sebagai manusia tentunya wajar bila ingin mengetahui siapa saja nenek moyang atau leluhur kita sebelumnya.
Begitupun denganku sahabat steemit.
Dulu, kakekku Mr. R. Syafei Adiwidjaya sering bercerita tentang kakek buyutku.
Namun karena saat itu aku masih kecil, aku tidak begitu memperdulikan cerita kakek tentang kakek buyutku tersebut.
Inilah photo keluarga leluhurku. Kakek buyutku E.J.Kerkhoven yang memakai peci hitam sebelah kanan/ (Here is a photo of my ancestral family. My great-grandfather ** E.J.Kerkhoven ** who wore the black cap on the right).

We as human beings of course reasonable to want to know who our ancestors or ancestors before.
Likewise with me steemit friend.
In the past, my grandfather Mr. R.Syafei Adiwidjaya often tells of my great-grandfather.
But because I was a kid, I did not really care about my grandfather's story about my great-grandfather.
Walaupun dengan pikiran kekanak-kanakan ku sempat terlintas pertanyaan "kenapa kakekku itu berbadan tinggi, putih, berhidung mancung, dan sangat ganteng....?"
Ini adalah leluhurku....Edward Julius (E.J) Kerkhoven. Beliau adalah kakek buyutku, dan beliau pemilik perkebunan teh Sinagar Sukabumi yang sangat terkenal pada masanya. Beliau lahir di Belanda tahun 1834 dan meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kp. Sinagar, Desa Nagrak Utara Kabupaten Sukabumi Jabar, tahun 1905/ (This is my ancestor .... Edward Julius (E.J) Kerkhoven. He was my great-grandfather, and he was the owner of Sinagar Sukabumi tea plantation that was very popular in his time. He was born in the Netherlands in 1834 and died and was buried in Kp. Sinagar, North Nagrak Village Sukabumi District Jabar, in 1905)
Despite my childish thoughts, I wondered, "Why is my grandfather tall, white, sharp-nosed, and so handsome ...?"
Ini foto KAR. BOSSCHA (pendiri peneropongan bintang di Lembang Bandung) adalah keponakan dari kakek buyutku E. J. Kerkhoven/ (This is a photo of KAR. BOSSCHA (founder of star observation in Lembang Bandung) is the nephew of my great-grandfather E. J. Kerkhoven).

Sehingga lebih jelas, atau setidaknya kita mengenal lewat cerita yang sudah terkumpulkan.
Dari penelusuran silsilah keluargaku, akhirnya aku bisa lebih mengenal sosok kakek buyutku dari pihak ibuku lewat link ini.

As time passes and the world opens the era of digital communication through cyberspace, it is very possible we can access all we want to know.
So it's clearer, or at least we know through the stories that have been collected.
From the search of my family tree, I finally got to know my grandfather's great figure from my mother's side through this link.
