My grandfather had a couple cousins who worked tobacco auctions in the 20-30s. Evidently, Canada's auctions were different times of the year than the South East US. These cousins had a family in North Carolina and then they would hobo on a train to Canada for those auctions where they would visit their other family. Upon one of the brothers' deaths, the second wife and children were discovered for both.

My husband's great grandfather immigrated from Greece in the early 1900's. He came through Elis Island and we can look up his entry in the logs there. The village he provided as his home in Greece does not exist, as far as we can find. A few years ago, we were in Salt Lake City and went the the Genealogy Library and sat down with someone who specializes in Greece. She was so upset when she could not find anything on the Great-grandfather prior to his arrival in the US. The family has no idea where he came from or what his reason were for coming.
