I'm afraid to mention that my great grand father's name was Shmuel,that is Samuel in French. My grandmother told me (a long time ago) that after the death of his first wife he took the name of Charles.He didn't have any children with his second wife who was a widow with a boy at the time . My great grandmother Marie Kanapa died from tuberculosis in a great hospital in Paris,specialised in pulmonary deseases. My grandmother Alice lost her mother's at 14 .Her teacher at school asked her father to let her continue studdiing and become a teacher.Alice was a clever girl.But her mother in law managed to make her working in a laundry ,that was a hard work for a young Lady.That's the story I heard from my aunt Jacqueline. Alice had heavy back akes years later.I knew her as very courageous and strong woman,with a big heart and such a beautiful smile with loving eyes.She had a good sens of humour and helped us ,my young sister Valérie and I,laughing many times in our lives.
