Peter Paul Cabay and Dorothy Lucille Quinn were both born in Detroit in 1927, the children of immigrants. While their parents came from different countries - Peter's from Poland and Dorothy's from Ireland - their ancestors for generations shared remarkably similar experiences of conquest, famine, disease, poverty, peasant life, and faith in the Catholic Church. And yet, despite extraordinary hardship, these ancestors' offspring survived to venture across the Atlantic Ocean with the courage to leave behind all that was familiar, full of hope for a better life, albeit a hard-earned one, in the United States. In 1950, Peter and Dorothy married, uniting their Polish and Irish heritage into a ""melting pot"" story shared by millions of American families. Today, their descendants continue their story into the twenty-first century.
