Why would a model house be named that?

Genealogy / Siekierczyna/Siekierczyn? [6]

Thank you both for that idea. I never thought to go to a Jewish website,
but now that makes sense. :) Since there were many Jewish folk living
in Poland. :)

Feedback / Checker: "You have unread messages in your queue..." [17]

May I ask the the reason to have a Checker? Is it like "Favorite Places"????
Or is used to just eliminate only those sites that interest the person?

I wish to stay in the Genealogy Section.
And have deleted oodles of unnecessary messages.

I come up with nothing in Zubarz, but it can be a surname. There is no such area as "Zubarz", so far as I can see.

They would have been German.

MAISENHALTER: perhaps from Meise (titmouse) and Halter (holder); might have originated as one of the rather funny-sounding names given to Jews such as Rosenzweig (rose twig), Wasserstein (water stone), Katzenberg (cat hill), etc.

HAUSMANN: house husband (probably suggesting husbandry, ie good economical management).

USA, Canada / Shootings in America; over 30 people shot [52]

Sorry, but the government is going to use this terrible slaughter as another good
excuse to ban handguns. Most licenced handgun owners are responsible, and
God fearing.
With crime in our country escalating, the public has to protect itself, that is why
private homes keep loaded handguns. What is the crime rate in Switzerland?

It is a national tradgedy. Our hearts go out to those innocent victims.
However, the school must take part of the responsibility because of the 2 hr.
lapse of warning the rest of the students.

There are already in US, many gun laws that are on the books, but

NOT BEING ENFORCED.
Lawyers for anti-gun lobby are making up more and more laws that people are not aware of, that will take more of our rights away.

Our telephone books in US boast the thickest part of the pages are LAWYERS.

Take the cars off the road, they kill more people than do guns!

Polonia / Your opinion about Greece and the Hellenic Histrory [16]


We have been to Zakinthos, it is where the Greeks get away from the tourists on
the mainland. Relatives told us about it. The town of Zakinthos has a hotel there;
make sure you ask for misquito deterants. Otherwise you will be smacking them
all night and leave blood spots on the walls. LOL Don't be afraid to go off the
beaten track either, residents are friendly. Some families will even put
you up for the night. I love Greece. Learn a bit of their language, and they love you for it.

Life / Polish Parents are controlling [58]

I never had a Polish mother, but my mother (now dead) could have been one.
She was a hard to live with Yankee. Very cold too.

But the sad part is, that I never was interested in her past, or her relatives.
So now, I have few clues as to her ancestry, and will never get the complete
story of her ancestors.

Those of you still having mothers and fathers to talk with, get them to tell you all
they know about their ancestry. You won't regret it. :)
