View submission: What's the longest unanswered question in your family's history?
My great-great grandfather sold his farm land in southern Alberta, then loaded up the entire family belongings, wife and 10 kids on one train car, and the stock on a second train car, to move north toward better soil, pastures, and grain growing opportunities during the dirty 30s. My grandfather's oldest brother (the oldest child, at 17 years) hopped off the train as it was pulling out of the station, because he didn't want to move and leave his girlfriend behind. He was never heard from again.
There's nothing here!
