Hi David,
I hope you are enjoying your summer! We have retrieved the file from our offsite storage. It seems Joseph sponsored the immigration of some of his relatives. Although the case file is in his name, there is very little information about him. Sometimes these case files are under the name of the immigrant’s sponsor and not the immigrant. I’ve attached the one page with some information relating to him and Rena. I hope this is helpful!
All the best,
Melissa
