Fred Owens' Great Grandmother Immigrated From France

Image result for french immigrants to united states
Fred: Reading immigration stories....it was never easy. My great-grandmother came here from France in 1850 when she was only ten. Her father died, leaving her in the care of her stepmother who left her to work as a servant girl someplace in Iowa. This new family sort of adopted her, but she was a long way from her home village in France and only ten.....this did not defeat her and she married my great-grandfather seven years later and they built a good family and business..... It's possible to become an American but it's never been easy.

Fred Owens My great-grandmother survived separation from her family in 1850, but there is no good reason why this should ever happen to any child again. And she never got over the loss of her brother George. He was 12 and he was placed on a farm and she never saw him again.

Alan: Thanks for sharing your family history Fred.

Great story!

Here is the underlying "frame tale" of American Immigration from about the time your great-grandmother arrived. 
"The American Party: Know Nothing Nativism And Opposition To Catholic Immigration"
Like the Pharisees, the "Know Nothings" are always with us.

An afterthought...

Since many of my friends are Italian-American, note the WASP "whisper campaign" that represented "wops" and "dagos" as "black."
