Not expecting that, from a name like MacDonald. By marriage, if I may be so presumptive? My family followed the same trajectory. Except in 1910. My grandparents were all gone by the time I was born. Never learned Yiddish. Did Yetta speak it?
Yetta spoke Yiddish with a southern accent to her sisters and my mother who understood a little when they didn’t want us kids to know what they were saying. She spoke perfect English, also with a southern accent.
