USA, Canada / Stories from Babcia's homeland Poland- Please join in the discussion [29]

none would participate in such a boring discussion.. because its not about war, or about someone getting hurt, poloniphobia, racism.. yep, I am sure we had a post like this before and it went un-noticed.. guess grandma wasnt so important to anyone huh?

Hi All,
My grandmother was a very important person in my life, she taught me about so much that is relevant to me today. She lived to be 100 years old!

I wish I could tell more about all four of my Polish Grandparents' homeland and stories, but they, as many first generation Americans, did not want to talk about the old country. As my Grandfather used to answer when I would ask for any thing about Poland, "We're Americans now!"

If I knew more, I wouldn't be struggling with my genealogy

(I wonder if anybody read that big story :D)

I read it with great interest and enjoyed it very much. The one similarity in our lives is the strength and beauty of our female ancestors! I can only hope to be such a role model to my children and grandchildren!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful family with us!

Genealogy / Grandchildren of Polish Immigrants [26]

Quick RUN, there is nothing more irritating than a yanky root seekers who has just discovered their "heritage".

Firstly, you are not American and cannot know what it is like to have been brought up in a country that is made up of "foreigners". You have no knowledge of that which you speak, so why do you bother to criticize. If you are happy, I am happy for you, but mind your own business. There are those of us who know nothing, and I mean nothing of our heritage. I had four Polish grandparents and didn't even know what my real surname was until five years ago.

I will not bother you with further explanation, as you obviously just want to criticize; so, let us be and enjoy our new found "Heritage".
