Meet Anna Milhender, my father's mother. She was a very strong russian woman who knew what direction she was going in until she moved to the US and married the wrong man. She had been born in Russia, she was Jewish, and some way she got out. Don't know the true story.
Her husband had died and she and two young children got on a boat to america. Things must have been tough for her. Her eldest daughter who at the time was under ten years old, was placed in an orphanage. My father was sent up to upper state New York near Albany with relatives he did not know. Anna went looking for a man to bring her family back together.
