Fran, you didn't mention name of your step-father. We live very close to that area and my parents were friends with Hungarians in Fremont. Can I have the name?

My Hungarian line was in Fremont, Ohio. Hirsh, Herskowitz, Harskowitz and so on. On my adopted mom's side, her father came into America through that border crossing. He came originally from the Ukraine. Very bad conditions there. He managed to get to Canada. He had to flee because at the time if you were Jewish and you were drafted you didn't come back. So he fled, managed to get to Canada somehow. Then he watched for two days to see how people crossed over to the U.S. He noticed on both days a group of workers carrying their lunch pails crossed every day with no problem, no questions. He had a few dollars left and bought a lunch pail. He joined the group and crossed over no questions asked. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marlo" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 5:33 PM Subject: Re: [HUNGARY] Boarder Crossing at Detroit from Canada > Fran, you didn't mention name of your step-father.
