They actually traveled back and forth a bit, well some did anyway. They came to Canada, btw. Mom's parents came from Romania to the US, Granny and the 2 kids went back to visit... the 2 kids got sick and died, then Granny came back. I think they were in Oregon. Then they came up into Canada for work, fell in love with the country and never left again. I never thought to do my post on them though, lol<BR/><BR/><BR/>Alice - I Was Born2Cree8<BR/>http://iwasborn2cree8.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Reba @ Reba's Run<BR/>http://rebasrun.blogspot.com/Alice (in BC Canada)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09512112540193806978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-76627157017514229552007-12-03T20:56:00.000-08:002007-12-03T20:56:00.000-08:00Excellent post.

Just a lot of verbal stories that tell me about some of the soldiers in the family.<BR/><BR/>It might be about time to write to some folks and get them to put these things down on paper.Travis Codyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192526507760146748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-39689009308167772482007-12-03T16:55:00.000-08:002007-12-03T16:55:00.000-08:00Yes, your Ellis Island stuff always fascinates me....Yes, your Ellis Island stuff always fascinates me.

I wanted to visit the Island in 19sommething (I have been so many times to the States I don't remember) but it was not included in the trip to the Liberty statue. So I only saw it from the ship. My uncles ancestors arrived there around 1865 from Germany.Gattinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636525277807715146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-36006960203242372142007-12-02T20:00:00.000-08:002007-12-02T20:00:00.000-08:00This ship as sailed, with a blog about ships!
