Moving To Fresno

 Even though I have lived in Fresno, California my whole life, my family has not. Pop Laval, my great-great-grandfather on my Grandpa's side moved to Fresno from New York because of a job offer in the early 1900's. The job was to be a photographer for the Fresno Republican Newspaper. Ounce he had moved here, his mother and sisters came as well. My great-grandfather on my grandma's side moved from Alabama in the late 1920's. He came to work for what is today PG&E. On a more closely related note, my dad had many steps in moving to Fresno. First, he moved from Beirut, Lebanon to Tulare, California. Then he moved to Fresno to go to Fresno State.  That is how my family came to Fresno.
