[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681269, member: 1963"] My maternal grandparents (and my mother, aunt and uncle) were born in the order listed, went to Newfoundland Canada, from there back to England, to South Africa for a several years. My grandparents came to the US in the mid 40s, but weren't considered asylum seekers. "The kids" came over in the mid 50s, with their parents as sponsors. My mother was introduced to my father, they dated and wound up getting married a couple of years before I was born. My mother got her citizenship here when I was 3 years old and my sister was on her way. I guess you can call me an "anchor baby", though I don't think that played in role in my conception :-) There's very few of us left now that the generation of the Sho'ah has died off. Some family made it to Israel and fought in the founding wars. Many from Lithuania who got out and to Europe and the US, went back to Lithuania and Russia to try to find and get relatives out of Europe and bring them to US and England. They were rounded up and died like flies, including several sets of twins who were experimented on. Now there are my mother, my sister, my niece and nephew, a few cousins, and a few relatives by marriage who once divorce or death ended their marriages, went back to their birth families as is normal in Judiasm.
