You can see some resemblance between her and you in the photo you have at the top left of the page. I love these photos from the 40's and 50's and I love the hair styles from back then. <br><br>Both sides of my family made their way to the US between 1900 and around 1920. German, Irish and Welsh. are the largest blocks of my family heritage. My great grandfather (dads side) found himself in Port Angles WA by mistake and ended up staying there. He was intending to go to Canada. My mom's dad's family came over just after WWI thankfully, otherwise I'm sure my grandfather would have be on the wrong side of things during WWII. He served in the US Navy in the Pacific instead. She is pretty. You can see some resemblance between her and you in the photo you have at the top left of the page.

I'm not bragging or anything...just saying! This explains why I walk around the house and scream "Freedom" in the mornings. <br><br>Your mom's mom...or I think your Grandmother was stunning!

I only know that his family originated in Hawaii, and there are many known and unknown siblings. My mother's family has a little more history, but it's mostly forgotten over the years. I do have pictures of my great grandparents, and it is fun to look at their pictures from time to time. I wish I had their eyes. They all seemed to have these fantastic light grey/blue eyes.

Imagine if they had the internet and things like Twitter, Facebook and email a hundred or two hundred years ago. My great great grandfather might have tweeted, "Damn potato famine! Well, we might as well pack up and move to America. Maybe we'll meet the Rosens." She was beautiful!

And what he did know and told me, I didn't write down and don't remember much. I can tell you this much though: My father (Samuel)'s parents were from Russia / Poland. He said that the border between the two kept getting changed due to wars, so they called it Rus-Poland or something like that. <br>Their names were Rachel & Abraham, and they lost a lot of family in the Holocaust. They had 2 daughters and 3 sons,and my Father was the middle son, and is the only surviving son at this time. One daughter is also still alive (Freda) and just celebrated her 94th birthday, My Father (88) & Mother (deceased) had 3 sons,of which I am the youngest. <br>Was this more info than u wanted??

It was Helene but she went by Helly. Changed to Helen when she came to America. This isn't the Rosen side of the family though. They've been here forever. What's your Rosen story? Yep.
