Family migration

There is nothing much about my parent. As I know from my grandfather, when he were borned, he already close to the city where we are living now. So I guess my parent is 99% Vietnamese, and moreover we are Hanoian (Hanoi is our capital and it is very rare people who was born in here). But back in the day, when our country was in war, I been told that our my dad of my grandfather actually move to here. There was a migration of nearly one million Vietnamese from North Vietnam (a military gathering area controlled by the Democratic Republic of Vietnam) to South Vietnam (a military gathering area managed by the French Union) in the years 1954–1955. But after the South revolution, my great grandfather comeback to the North and started a new life here. I suppose that people moved to the South because they scared of hunger such as hunger in 1945 that estimate about 400,000 to 2 million people starved to death in the North. There was a lot of difficult in Vietnam in the 19th century so it is reasonable for many people to move to the South and then comeback to their home in the North like my great grandfather did
