Tatomer Family of Ukraine Patricia Schellenberger Decker

Ukrainian family coming to America By Patricia Schellenberger Decker From life in the outer areas of L'vov, Ukraine, William and Magda each came to the USA singly at the turn of the 20th Century. They met in America and married. Then one by one brought our six parents into this new world of hope, opportunity, and freedom. If these grandparents hadn't been brave. If they hadn't been courageous. Where would we be today? Living in poverty -- on farmland that was and still is being ravaged by many wars, oppression, and poverty. How fortunate could we grandchildren be to have enjoyed such a chance to flourish in the land of opportunity -- the United States? And we have! Inside you will read of the journey, and a bit about the life we are now allowed to be blessed with. Because of their sacrifices -- and the grace of God.
