You 100% should! Nothing like being at home. Would be neat to try and track them down, maybe through ancestry . com or some site like that.

I don’t have to track them down even, my grandmother has them on Facebook. Last time they went they met and stayed with them.

Her mother came over from Finland on the sister ship to the titanic as a small girl. Her grandfather and uncle had come here for work, then sent for her.

But the work fell through and so her (mother’s) father and brother went back to Finland, right as she was coming to America.

Their ships literally passed in the night.
Then WW1 happened and she was stuck here, and was taken in by another Finnish family here. Ended up marrying one of their sons.

But she never saw her family back home again.
