In our case, my Grandmother was qualified to leave since she was the 11th child. The villagers paid passage for her to go. But she had to serve time in Argentine. The details of her time in Argentine were ALWAYS sketchy. I know all the stories (I think) of our family while in Italy. But Argentine was never really spoken of the same way.
Once she got on the boat to America and went through the paper work, she was immediately taken to Argentine. The time she spent there was never clarified. What she did there other than worked for a family was never clarified.
When she was done, she was permitted back to America.
Now this thread has many questions going threw my head.
Ok, now I'm not going to sleep tonight.
is there another human slave ranch in S. America?
Is that why she never spoke of Argentine?
