Genealogy / Americans of Polish descent. How many of us are on Polish forums? [216]


Most people of Polish decent that live now in America actually came before WW1, but don't have any Polish culture anymore.

My parents would disagree. My dad came to america when the Berlin wall was still up thinking the streets are paved with gold and $20 dollars in his pocket. But he likes america because after years of hard work, he is now making a very good living.
