Genealogy / Josef Surowiec from Wojkon (can't find this town) and his ancestors [24]

David, I can look in my ancestry for your Antoni. I have it till March or April, I will go
look on the Ellis island and see if I can read it. I read them pretty well. some are
really smudged, or just unreadable. but i can try :) Patty

Jozef Surowiec

David, I found this one, I don't know what the ages are or dates of birth so I am doing
a guess on it.
as for the Ellis island misspellings, I find it to be true in many cases of my family where
I have found them and the spellings were chopped up badly. Most of the immigrants
didn't speak English, so if they did say their name, the person taking the name down
spelled it phonetically, this was also true for death and birth records for immigrants

don't get discouraged, that good ole brick wall smacks us all once in a while. you will
get there :) Patty

There is also a Antonia going to Chicago and her town is Krakow. don't know if this
one is yours, but she is going to Chicago, i didn't look at the manifests. just trying to
find the ones you need. I can email them to you though if you would like that :)

Patty.

Ok Antonia is going to Kazmier Rakuska 87 Elston ave? that is what it says, and she is
going to Chicago Illinois.

Food / Polish Golabki (Golomki) Recipe [41]

Well it all sounds delicious!!

I have to make mine with the lesser fat content because my daughter has to be
on low fat diet, so we have to use lean ground round or sirloin hamburger.
and I dont add the pork because of the fat.

even my mother had used only hamburger, but me being third generation, some
of the recipes are gone, and I just do what my mother had taught me but only with
the fat taken out of the meals.

we all eat the same, because preparing differently would make a headache for me
so I just do it like it is suppose to be for our daughter.

Hey! I just made those, I told my hubby to take emm to work, but he forgot, I should
have froze them, but forgot <~me bad. so they went to the GB disposal.

I have a bad habit of cooking for like thirty people.

both!

no not all of emm are. but I had to throw that in there. lol

I am sure there a men with plummers butt all over the world. lol


Frank Quit stirrin the pot. ok so you like polish women, that should be the end
of the convo.

your a man, should know that others would take some offense to that statment
because in this big old world, you know you cant say things like that without
taking some deep thought into how it might affect others.

I personally dont care if anyone thinks American women are fat, ugly, whatever.

I know what i have to do personally to keep up with the times. dont let little statements
from these guys get at ya. we all have beauty/good souls. with out a woman the
man is not whole!
Plus, be pretty sore with the hands "know what i mean" lol

I am sure that there is much agreement to that statement!

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


Maciej. lol

did u keep distance?? lol sometimes there is green fog coming from these
plummers butts, so its best to stay at least a block or so away in case of
downwind!! lol

sorry frank highjacked the thread. butt all in good fun.


Frank, I dont have to tell you or any other man about ROSEY ? she is the girl
of your dreams, she stands by her man, lol. ok she holds her man.

Besides the only time a man needs to call up ROsey is when he is in the doghouse!


I know you meant no harm, your shouting out what you feel. but at the same
time, you have to remember that and I have said this before, real people real feelings.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


get off yer high horse,. it was a joke, and not directed at anyone . as for buffoons
thats a original from when 1659??

I was talking to frank, and I never once insulted you , if you dont like my posts
then dont READ THEM!!!!!!!!! Why dont you take your big mouth and go
wash it cause its spitting out green fog!

Matter of fact, I was sticking up for you, and miranda for franks saying
what he did, and here in America we do have slang that refers to that with
People who are nimphomaniacs. it was a joke.

but, forget it, frank have a go at it. shes lost it big time!

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Frank, that was my post to Amathyst.

as for she never had it, What are you referring to?

I see alot of confusion in cultures, this is really bad.

no wonder so many are fighting! because we dont understand one another!

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Ahhhhhhhh.... ok, I probably need to go make cup of tea and wake up some more :)

it is true, I was referring to your saying I might like it comment ... nothing to do with
actual Rape Victims, she went a blew it way out of line..

Then she says to you to stay out of her persoal space. and its a public forum?

someone needs their midol!!!

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]

Agree with Frank, he was being positive. I understood their posts too, because
saying that, basically you were generalizing, even though its your personal opinion
and I myself didnt take it personally, but again, being on this side of the fence, it
is a statement that can hurt feelings in SOME cultures.

But I know you meant it as positive towards Polish Women and how you feel
personally. And this also should be taken into consideration.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


To all whom see this post as offensive, it wasnt meant to be, I will apologize to
the whole forum (MINUS SHELLEY) for my comment as we do live in different
cultures, Rape is not funny, but it was used in different context then to the one
shelly is referring to and I want to clear that up before the Queen of hate comes
back. MY views are not what she is letting others think, so to clean my slate of
any Wrong comments, I should have Kept that one to myself as certain people
get off finding reasons to be a ***** !!!!!

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


ya have the right to think anyway you want to. its per ones choice. good for you
for stating your personal feelings on the issue.

Love / Girl from Poland - how to bring her back [36]


Manser, your reading it wrong, he said lets see if you can give up your life
(where ever that is) to be with her in Poland..

Now I know you still have deep feelings. why aren't you doing this?

Love / Girl from Poland - how to bring her back [36]

well, considering we have no snow for Christmas, its pretty good :)

today I had to make dinner, my two brothers were coming , we exchanged tonight
and it was really fantastic :)

as for daily life, it is good, this year will be better year for us personally. as
I had recently recieved a raise, so economy is very good right now, but it
has affected various businesses.

Bush is bringing us down , Clinton had us on right track, I will always Admire him
as a President, I never thought any worse of him with the Monica Lewinski Scandal
because that wasnt important. People say, well if he can cheat on his wife, then
he can cheat the people. but, hes no lesser a man then any one of those
Politicians and they probably do it too, they just dont get caught. what happens
in the bedroom has no impact on politics, thats a whole different brain they think
with at that point! lol

Our Weather is pretty odd for this time of year.

what were you doing there? working with Children ?

that sounds really cool Paul, Did you like coming to the states?

sad that people have to grow up learning to be a certain way, and this is the
end result.

Food / Polish Golabki (Golomki) Recipe [41]

I have a question, because, we have to do it here, does any of the stores there
in Poland offer lesser fat products?

for instance butter, we have a yougert butter, where it cuts the fat, but you can
still use it like butter, for sauteing and such.

Life / Why Do You Love Poland? [907]

What do I love about poland?

She dont need to fight anymore
she has become stronger then before.

and she has overcome many times
with prosperity in her future.

no more battles she will see
nature is pure as she cares for herself.

Lives which are forever changed
but never forgotten in her land.

As she warms hearts of today
together we will hold Polands hand.

I cant tell anyone why I love Poland, but to feel strongly what
she stands for. yes, I can feel how proud I feel to know she is
strong.

at times I feel its more then Culture which pulled her through.
And it will be more then culture which keeps her strong.

yeppers :)


awwwwwwwwwww :) Come"ere and gimmie a hug brother ((( lonestranger)))

lol Krysia, I was having a moment lol

cant I have a moment ??? lol

Poland cant be a boy, because then we would have to say he and he is a she
cause I have heard she for long time, so we cant change it because if we do
we would have to change historical writings which claim poland as a she so if
she becomes a he, it would upset the universe and everyone will not know
what to do so we have to keep it the way it is, and ........ choke....sob.......
someone get me a tissue!!:)...............:) :).....kidding.

Iwona is strait and to the point, and very nice person. u on the other hand are
hiding behind a fake name, calling her names, thats really big of you.

Love / Polish women are the most beautiful in the world! [1718]


bubba, people in America come from all over the world.

why wouldnt chicago have same recipe as most of the time these are family owned
business and family secrets passed down to family , no matter what town they
live, and I am sure it wasnt impossible for it to have ended up in chicago :)

just a thought.

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]

I think everyone is capable of rude, if your not feeling yourself, intentionally we all
can be rude and not mean to be. Rude is a mood. and all people have this mood

so, just dont ram your buggys into anyone and you will be fine :) lol

Life / Do you think that Polish people are rude? [951]


I do agree with this, and I think everyone is capable of rudeness, just dont
wake up on the wrong side of the bed thats all!! :)

MY dad could be rude, but it wasnt cause of him being Polish. he just didnt have
patience!! thats why people are rude, because they want it now, pronto!!
or they cant tolerate waiting, or get angry when something is out of place.

Or they snub people for not being like them. thats extremely rude. rude is mostly
unacceptance of something you dont like.
