I have enjoyed your " Thanksgiving Dinners" My family did not settle into Portage County until the 1950's. But in the late 1970's my grandparents moved here from Fayette County, Pennsylvaniato live with my father . I would like to go back to 1980. I would love to ask my grandfather about his trips across the ocean. He traveled back and forth in 1909, 1911 and finally to stay in 1912. He was only 14 years old in 1909 and worked the ship for two trips to earn his travel. I would like to have known about his parents and grandparents. Who were his siblings? Only one other came to US from Yugoslavia in 1923. I was only 19 yrs. old then and didn't have interest. Or never really thought about asking what their lives were like. I have started to get my son's girlfriend interested now, while she is only 19 and she has already learned alot that she knew nothing about. She has a great excitement about it too! Happy Thanksgiving Karen
