One family, two countries
Rode & Fiere
French-American Cousins
Two lines of descent — Rode and Fiere — joined by marriage and split across the Atlantic. This is where the family keeps what it has gathered: the reunions, the journals of the crossings, the tree, and the composer at the root of the name.
The cousins have gathered, on one side of the ocean or the other, since 1987.
