In my manuscript I have a passage that your he left Holland in 1947 with 170 dollar and ‘a kitbag full of hope’. Your father first when to work for a farmer who refused to pay him his wage. Then he went to work in a butchery in Swan City which he was able to buy in 1951.
What happened afterwards? Did your he stay a butcher until the end of his working life?
