It's wonderful that your grandparents saved so much that helps you to tell their story. To tell my husband's grandparents stories (at http://jewishgenealogyjourney.blogspot.com/) I mostly started with my in-laws' memories, a few photographs and U.S. research (so far).Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-23168088545037818192011-08-03T12:29:15.302-05:002011-08-03T12:29:15.302-05:00Hi Kathy -- each little scrap I find adds to the s...Hi Kathy -- each little scrap I find adds to the story. I also apologize to anyone who tries to click on the link I put in my previous comment "Blended family Breakthrough." It doesn't work -- and I don't know what I did wrong. But anyone can just look for for that blog post by entering it into the "search this blog" --upper right.

See <a href="http://familyarchaeologist.blogspot.com/2010/12/blended-family-breakthrough" rel="nofollow">Blended Family Breakthrough</a><br />Since Cleveland was on the way to Chicago, I suppose she figured this might be the last chance to see her stepsister, Maria, for a while. She was right. Coming up: How she and Josef connected, married, and the work that precluded travel!Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-14077444838817034632011-08-03T10:00:52.336-05:002011-08-03T10:00:52.336-05:00Interesting she didn't rush into the arms of h...Interesting she didn't rush into the arms of her future husband??

They wanted to know if I "intended to sell pornographic pictures and if I was a member of the Communist Party." Who would answer with Yes? And this was in 1952. Treasure your material, it is irreplaceable!PETERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892107520714790998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-7263524475483133682011-08-02T15:08:17.928-05:002011-08-02T15:08:17.928-05:00It was closer to very dark brown.

So I think the Ellis Island folks were moving and observing quickly--first impressions. So glad you're following the story.Linda Gartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00740477693031139484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3853410677893201016.post-21578037192997153622011-08-02T06:16:41.777-05:002011-08-02T06:16:41.777-05:00What a journey.
