42. You're right, both of my maternal grandparents came from Poland

My grandmother came from Russian-occupied Poland when she was only 15 since she was the eldest in her family and sent clothing and food back to her family for the rest of her life. And my grandfather came from Poland as a young man the same year, they made him a citizen and sent him to France to fight for his new country in WWI.

After they met and married several years later they had two daughters (my mother was the eldest) who both graduated from college and they had started a neighborhood grocery (which I remember) which got their neighbors through WWII rationing.
