Time for another topic!

Would like to hear from everyone which of their ancestors
they would like to meet, and why.

I would like to meet my father's grandparents. They came to the USA from
Bohemia in 1870 to Baltimore. As far as I know, they never learned to
speak English. I'd like to know where they originated from. I have no
idea, and neither does my father, what town or village they came from in
the old country. I'd like to hear about their travels to catch the boat,
and of the voyage across the ocean. The hardships they encountered while
on board ship, and after they got here. What made them decide to migrate
inland, and how they traveled to their destination point. I'd like to know
why they chose the area to settle in that they did, and the problems they
encountered living in a country not of their native tongue.
