From what I understand, the family moved over the bridge to Philadelphia when my grandpa was young and did not stay in close contact with the family left behind - except for an Aunt I can barely remember and perhaps a couple others. I'm assuming the move was related to better employment prospects or some family riff of some sort.

Very nice to meet you JAG!
