    Interesting . . so my mother-in-law is a minority among minorities. As a teen, she and her family emigrated French-Canada, and immigrated Middlesex county, Massachusetts. BTW, is the previous sentence redundant?

    I suppose it is redundant to use “emigrated” and “immigrated” together that way, and I say that’s great. The doubling makes your meaning clearer.

    My father’s father left Ontario for Ohio when he was a teen. That would have been in the 1880s, I think; he was born in 1873. Your mother-in-law is younger than that, yes?

    I’m pretty sure my mother-in-law was born after 1873.

    You might want to ask. I’ve noticed that people of French extraction often look younger than they really are.

    Yeah, when she and my father-in-law take Mr. Cymast and I out this weekend for our anniversary, I’ll ask her “Say, were you born before 1873 . . or after?” I know my f-i-l will laugh, but I think the humor will be lost on her. It’s an uphill walk already . .
