Well, finally making it thru more of the threads - Mine are a mixture of Russian, Polish and Newfie - Now there's a combo, I'd say. Mother ended up in Newfoundland during the war (not alot of Jewish people were welcome in Canada at the time) and Newfoundland was still under British rule and had allowed some of the Jewish people to go there. My uncle was already there, so mom and her mom landed. Dad was of Russian decent, but he was born on the rock which is where he and mother met. Was a neat place to grow up really - actually, on a rock off of the rock. cat a tonic
