They were once residents of The Netherlands in 1973 - 1976, employed by Berghaus BV for three years as contract workers in its coat factory in Amsterdam and Wehl in the Achter Hoek.
After finishing their contract, most of the girls migrated to Winnipeg - Manitoba, Canada to work for Silpit Industries.
Some of them opted to stay in The Netherlands.
