My grandfather, who in 1800 - in the seventies, I believe, emigrated to America and would be joined by the family. And he wrote of America again and again and has also sent U.S. dollars that the family meets. And suddenly it is stopped. It was always the one in our youth, we had to remember the grandfather of what has happened with the - it was such a halfway house - he is to blame, or is a terrible accident happened? And so on. So that was something that moves us all, and I have, yes, we have tried, .. now in the post to find out what was with him. He came through the quarantine of course, three months, and then he worked for the Santa Fe Railway. So there is still the documentation for this, but one day it's gone. And so I have twice an American student who has worked in such matters, therefore, committed, that he sees through me that. And until the Santa Fe Railroad has come, and then was suddenly out. And we do not know what that is. He probably went there, so be ruined by illness or died because the death toll was at this track work so great, no question. My father had to work for the siblings, he was as they say, eingeheiratet.
