All this talk about Baron de Hirsh records in Canada leads me to ask are there any records for Connecticut? Somewhere I heard that my GGF was sponsered by the foundation in a move >from NYC to East Haddam CT where he became a "rock farmer". When examining the US census data for 1900 >from that area there appear to be a rather large number of Polish Jewish farmers in the area and why and how they got to Connecticut is a question that has puzzeled me for years.
