Arriving in the USA sometime in the 1890's he settled in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Like many Lebanese my grandfather became a peddler/merchant of dry goods. He was the proud father of eleven children. Six of the seven sons served in WWII.<br /><br />I also found interesting the Lebanese names you mentioned and their Anglicized versions. The same occurred with my father's family.<br /><br />I have nothing against Israel but I would like to see the same countries that support Israel also support Lebanon.mo4joeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428796784218482992noreply@blogger.com
