The Adamec's : My Immigrant Family

Michael Adamec was born in the year 1920 near Yonkers, New York. His mother Susie was an immigrant coming in from Yugoslavia. Daddy explained that she was actually from Slovenia, and her people lived "in the mountain regions somewhere in the north". I'm not sure of the location but she was clearly of eastern European origin. My grandmother Susie came to this country seeking a better life. I know nothing of her family or her past. As a child I saw her maybe 2 or 3 times. Once when we visited my grandmother in New York, as a 5-year-old-little-girl, I thought she was a sweet lady and a very nice grandmother (even though the only grandmother I ever knew at the time was my mother's mother in North Carolina). The photo above is US Army Paratrooper Michael Adamec while home on leave during WWII. The Relatives Came to visit. In my elementary school years Grandmother Susie visited my Grandmother Annie's farm-- 2 maybe 3 times during the summer...
