UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


its the same in the states.. the bad thing about that is even immigrants come over
and want to work and those with education will definately get in to higher payed jobs

we have alot of lazy People to, by choice.. who just love to rely on the govt. which
really doesnt hand it out anymore on that silver platter. they created work programs
for the lazy.. :)

UK, Ireland / Polish immigration in UK [491]


doesnt the govt set the minimum wage?

in my opinion an employer can pay more, but with the govt standards saying how much
is enough, do we think they will change this? no. its the same in the states. and people have to have two working adults to actually own a home and or pay rent

and the younger generations cannot afford to leave home until they are out of college
and even then its rough. but we also changed our way of living to.


you are probably right, he may not even come back at all.

what nationality are you ZEZE? just curious..


no it doesnt, and of course there has to be a balance, people willing to do these jobs
although I think these jobs should have a higher pay, without these harder jobs
and harder workers theres no company..

Genealogy / The surname Celinski and resources for Galician roots [17]

[quote=BrettCelinski] Any resources to find out history of the name Celinski and what area that family originated?

brett

a good source to find is the WWI drafts on ancestry.com
or baptismal records ( depending on which city/church) would sometimes
if your lucky.. record the Place of parents birth ( actual place) and not state
just Poland or Poland/russia etc.

what records have you searched in the states so far?

She did some photo work ( putting names on pictures ( old pics) etc ).. and
Now I have the whole bag of the albums and loose pictures.. some I have put on
CDS to share with family because they dont have what I have as I dont have theirs
so its a sharing family thing :)))

michal, you married a polish woman right? your wife is polish right?

do you think these are words of wisdom or words of just dum..

Genealogy / Are Polish birth records available on the Internet? [56]

birth is not avail in the united states unless the person is deceased after so many years
and you have to show proof of death of this person meaning you are next of kin.

birth should stay private as long as the person is alive.

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think of the USA [287]

that holds a seperate nationality.

USA, Canada / What do Polish people think of the USA [287]

Elvis might have been or might not have been. really irelevent to the topic
of what Polish people think of the usa.

USA, Canada / American people attitude towards Poles in the USA [98]


With two eyes.. hardy har har.. :)


in the 60's the focus was more on civil rights, I dont think anyone really was concerned
with new Immigrants coming. in the 70's dancing was a big deal.. so nationality
was not important. and in the 80's People were all about music and big hair
and peace :)

I will tell you the key towns dont yell at me if i spell them wrong..

Nowogrod , Kolno, Poryte ?

all same general area.. so for anyone doing genealogy, the immigrants who came
to the united states generally stayed close to friends and relatives.. for years!!!


I am glad you like them.. everyone is welcome to join,, military, old pics.. anything :)

even if you found a old photo and wanted to share it just because :))

I think we should share and remember those before us after all its those before us
who got us here and we are here today because of them.. strength and preservance

over a month after they declared war on Japan..
