Comments on: A journey into Philadelphia's immigrant past http://whyy.org/cms/news/arts-entertainment-sports/2009/09/11/a-journey-into-philadelphias-immigrant-past/17630 News and Information from WHYY in Philadelphia Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:50:34 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: S.

Puckett Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:51:09 +0000 http://whyy.org/cms/news/?p=17630#comment-2944 The article was very interesting yet sad. My great grandparents both immigrated to the US in the early 1900's and we celebrate them on St. Patricks Day for their courage to leave their homeland to start a new life. Do you have an address to send a donation to support the genetic testing? I did not see one in the article. Please keep up the good work and bless you for commitment to bring closure to so many families. The article was very interesting yet sad.
