Nearly one hundred years after the famine in Ireland, twin boys were born in Ireland in a workhouse convent. One was adopted and was taken to America as an infant, and the other was placed with the mother's sister, Bridgid. Bridgid and her husband, John Brown, lived on a small farm. The boy was raised by the Brown family and was given the name "Peter Brown". Patrick and Teresa Prown, a family from the USA, had gone to Ireland, visited the convent and felt blessed to be able to adopt a baby boy. They named him "Peter Prown". The Prown's brought Peter back to their home in Bryn Mawr, USA. Peter Prown went to school in the United States and Peter Brown went to school in Ireland. Both boys often wondered to themselves if they would ever meet another close relative.
