[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Canada vs. Brazil

[Mauricio Norenberg]

It's a common history.
I'm starting to figure out that's a good subject. For some reason, have a
lot o families that lost connections between Canada and Brazil. My
grandmother ever told me his father sent a received many letters from
Canada.

As my research, it was 4 families (brothers/sisters)
Johann Norenberg and Julianna Braun - >  My grandparents, came to Brazil in
1908
Gottfried Norenberg and wife > Came to Brazil
Emmilie Norenberg (married with Gottlieb Henschke - > Went to Canada
Andreas Norenberg (married I don't remember who) I don't know where he went

But my grandmother has still remembering and wishing to reconnect to this
families on canada until his decease (2003). And it still my wish too.
