Which one of your ancestors would you most like to talk to?
Submitted by Kathy.
I'd love to meet my Great Grandmother Mayer. She was an immigrant from Hungary. She came over in the belly of a boat with only hardboiled eggs and shotglasses of beer to drink. She met my Great Grandfather here in the states. Strangely, they had grown up in the same village in Hungary, not too far apart. My Mom-Mom was embarrassed by the fact that her parents were immigrants, so she never learned how to cook any of the Hungarian specialities my Great Grandmother made. She didn't really get any of her history either. Just that Great Grandma Mayer's father had a vineyard somewhere in Hungary, I think near Budapest (correct me if I'm wrong, Nicole or Marlen). Mom-Mom told me how she regretted not talking to her mother about these things before she was gone. Guess it all will just remain a mystery.
