Grandchildren of Polish Immigrants [26]
I just found this web site and read your message. i, too, am the grandchild of Polish immigrants. My grandfather arrived in this country in 1900 and my grandmother in 1901. My mother and her siblings rarely spoke of the old country and my grandmother died before I was four. My mother lost her father when she was only 16. The family spread across the U. S. and the closeness we once shared evaporated with time. I have always had a desire to know more about my Polish heritage and that has grown far stronger with advancing years. I wish my grandmother had been with us longer so I could have heard the stories she used to tell. My mother and her siblings weren't interested. I think they were the ones whose job it was to become fully assimilated into the American culture.
