Well, my grandmother awayls told me that our family came from slovakia, one city called Bratislava, betwen first and second world war, time that the opportunities was so difficult, so trying to find a better life to your families they came to Brazil with the promises that could gaining land for planting and start a new life, so this was the history constructed throught deceivers to bring people to Brazil, but the true story behing that was the interest to bring cheap work force, because here in Brazil was in the period of slave finishing, so they did need to find a subistitute, so they found this way, and brought some people from our family to make almost slave labor, when they arrived here in Brazil, everybody was drived to one city called Santo Anastácio, where they received the "land for planting" but the true was that they received the slave's houses, where was so dirty, because unfortunately many slaves generation without receive any education where was brought from Africa and sold as slaves in Brazil for forced labor in coffee plantation, so my grandmother and my fathers grandmother said that this first meet was so stranger because they haven't never seen people with black skin, (without discrimination) they just didnt know, so everybody was out the houses, didnt want to get in the slaves houses with your luggages and tools that the brought from Bratislava Eslovakia, but it was funny because here in Brazil when comes the rainy seasons, the sky becomes so scary, because the day becomes night in a few minutes, so started to run everybody to get in the slaves houses, and from then on started to write the our history, where they had to work so many years to pay the ship travel what was a really big debit with the deceivers, but the Rapchan family worked hard for some years and payed all debits with the deceivers and from then on, they started to move to other cities, some of them didnt move and lived in Santo Anastácio (until nowadays there are many Rapchan family there) my grandmothers sister moved to Cambé Paraná, my father's grandmother moved to São Paulo, other moved to Rio de Janeiro, and with gods help everybody is winning around here. Thank you for the space to write about what i know about my family's name, hope you aprecciate that
