Very well written!! Your Great Grandmother's experiences would make a great book-so interesting. What a strong woman she was to make the trip-and hope for a better future for her son. That generation was a different breed of tougher people compared to us today.tipperhttp://www.blindpigandtheacorn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983520193229114152.post-45664898132125869292009-03-18T10:28:00.000-04:002009-03-18T10:28:00.000-04:00My great-aunt came over from Hungary as a young child in what is believed to be 1910.

My hope is that by sharing a little bit of her story, her memory will continue to inspire courage in others for generations to come.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for taking the time to read and comment.

What a strong and amazing woman. I too have an ancestor who traved across the ocean to the America, but can not locate when and where. All I know is they were from Greece. The women of this time were so strong and I admire there courage and strength.Robin aka Wolfhuntress2002http://www.blogger.com/profile/01023929223545212603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983520193229114152.post-51166490014698554382009-03-03T19:05:00.000-05:002009-03-03T19:05:00.000-05:00Another beautiful post! It makes me wonder what part of the journey was more difficult for our ancestors - the journey itself, or the arrival?<BR/><BR/>I love the photo of Ilona. Here's wishing her a "happy anniversary" of her arrival! (And thanks for the reminder...I have one 1909 arrival that I thought was later in the year, but after I saw your article I checked and the anniversary is next month!)<BR/><BR/>Donnapastprologuehttp://pastprologue.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983520193229114152.post-87149147235320305472009-03-03T08:15:00.000-05:002009-03-03T08:15:00.000-05:00A beautifully written and eye opening article, Lisa.
