Hello.... my entire life I was told that my only living relatives were my mother's nephew Poldek Genendel (Paul Gene) and my father's sister Lola Pemper Amsterdam. What an amazing surprise to discover that wasn't the case at all... Thanks to Michele Seligmann I have been connected to a world wide chain of relatives. For instance, I knew that my father's parents divorced when he was young and he was totally connected to his mother's family, the Goldbergers. I had no idea that my grandfather Samuel Pemper had remarried and had two or three children with his second wife! Or that there were even any other Pempers around.... Although many questions have been answered, there are still many that remain. I am a retired French teacher (taught high school for 37 years) and am enjoying my life.
