AS THE 19TH CENTURY COMES TO A CLOSE IN EUROPE many countries are in a state of unrest.

The journey was difficult for the young family, and challenges and heartache were met along the way. Never did they lose hope for the dream they had regardless of what they and tens of thousands of other forgotten immigrants faced.
