Genealogy / Anton and Ottolie (Anna) Skierka [9]

Skierkan8:

I grew up in Bevent Wisconsin. There were (I don't know if they live there anymore) Skierkas that lived in Shantytown (in the Town of Bevent). Dombrowskis are also from the Shantytown area. Ironically enough my aunt is a Dombroski from home (she grew up in Pike Lake) Wisconsin (Town of Reid).

If you'd like, I maybe able to help you. The cemetary @ St Ladislaus in Bevent goes way, way back even to when people used their full Polish last names before they decided to shorten them.

Good Luck!!!

Pam

Food / Bologna & onions in Poland? [44]

To Deeinflo rida:

My mother also used to fry bologna w/onions and she used to let it sit. Seems the longer it sat the more the onion-flavor soaked in.

.....and when it came to Spam....my mom used to make Spam sandwiches for my dad, or she used to fry it in a pan, because back then, Spam was the "poor man's sandwich meat." Now, it's not called that anymore because the "poor man" can't afford it!!!

Times sure have changed!!!
