I can see why she interests you and why you’re curious what motivated their emigration. Certainly seems counterintuitive. Very well done post!

Nancy, I can’t imagine a few hours on an airplane with a 4-month-old baby, so I have only respect for the many women who sailed for days to get here. They are made of sterner stuff than I, I’m afraid!

Finding people bit by bit just adds to the excitement, and then finally being able to put somewhat of a portrait together is so satisfying, isn’t it?! I can’t imagine spending a month on a ship with a 4-month-old baby – and without disposable diapers, at that! How, oh how, did she manage, I wonder! This was a fine contribution to the CoG. Thanks for sharing.
