Please briefly identify yourself - your occupation and where you live. Feel free to hyperlink your professional webpage or LinkedIn profile using the Link button above.
Please note your relationship to your refugee ancestor(s) (e.g., grandchild, great-grandchild).
Then tell us your refugee ancestor's story - where did they come from, why did they leave, when did they arrive, and what were the circumstances of their journey to the United States? Feel free to conclude with a sentence or two about what your ancestor's journey means to you personally.
Write in your own voice. The goal is a short, human story - not a formal biography.
