You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

I guess part of the whole Europe/America thing is that sometimes the circumstances under which folks left the Old World were so heinous [...] that many immigrants actually forbade their kids to speak the native language and dropped their old customs and beliefs with gratitude, to make a new life free from the baggage of whatever poverty-stricken hellhole they'd fled from.

Hungarian Jews in the 1850's, England with Penn's Fleet, Ireland during the Hunger . . . and we knew nothing about any of it until Grandma got curious. I want to see Axminster on my next trip to England, but it's not the place I long for.

Yeah, I have family stories I'd love to track down. For example my Grandfather was a tanner who fled Russia after killing a Cossack. I'd like to know more - but that is the complete extent of the family story. So was it political.? There were terrorist Jewish bunds in Russia at the time so not impossilbe. Was it personal? Cossacks pretty much had a license to do anything they wanted to Jews - so that is possible too. And you know, a tanner named lipowvitz had to flee Russia around 1905 or 1910 for killing a Cossack; that does not narrow it down as much as you might think. Tanning was not an uncommon profession for Jews in Russia; Lipowvitz was not an uncommon name (especially since we can't rule Lipowvitzky and other varetations.) And relations between Jews and Cossacks were not good. Rather like an Australian of Irish ancestroy with a common Irish last name (O'Conner perhaps or is that not that common?) trying to track an ancestor who was deported to Australia for killing an Englishman.
