This book is about those relatives that immigrated from Norway, Denmark and Germany, their history, culture and the difficulties they encountered living in their respective countries. It ranged from economic recessions, depressions, unemployment and lack of opportunity. Some experienced the ravages of World War II.

In the many years that have elapsed, economic conditions have improved vastly and people are doing very well in the above mentioned countries.
