Hi all, :) It's said that "April showers bring May flowers." Well, ships and planes bring immigrants, no matter what month/year it is or what the weather was like. There's one thing to be said about humans ~ we're a mobile species. It doesn't matter what country they came from or what country they ended up in. It also doesn't matter what the reason for emigration was. Your April challenge is to find an immigrant or an immigrant family to the area and post him/her/them to the list, whether it's your immigrant or not is irrelevant. As long as the person/family is not sitting in their country of birth during any census or a death, etc. ~ that's what we're after. Name ONLY the immigrant or immigrant family and tell where they came from and when. You can name the ancestors, but no descendants. And since two months were mentioned ('April showers/May flowers'), this challenge will involve April and May. The second half of this challenge will be disclosed of course, in May! :) But for April, you just might want to open a new folder labeled "April challenge" and keep all the challenge messages from April in it. I can give you an advance notice that you're going to be using them in May. Have fun! :) Colleen
