I have misunderstood many topics. and some have misunderstood me.

Genealogy / I'm polish and have a darker complexion - WHY? [78]


Jose, this might be a little confusing. being a teacher, I think this could have been
re-worded so to speak. I dont have anything against constructive debate, but
I do know when anger speaks . So by that, I think this could have triggered some
confusion and we all need to remember we cannot possibly understand each others
lives, reading books VS experience.


Again, Jose, we cant blame just White man. when generalizing its easy for someone
to get upset because a great deal of Immigrants who are White, never owned, bought
or enslaved anyone.

And again, I can only say, govt was to blame for alot, People with power , used that
power and down in the southern section of the states, we all know even law
enforcement was involved.

Genealogy / I'm polish and have a darker complexion - WHY? [78]

Sedzia, europe awake, do you want yet another thread closed because you are
stalking his every move just to try and make him leave?

can we all be civilized and just get along?

Jose, I can see their points on some issues, so I dont blame them as to having some
type of anger, whether its a forum or any place else, we should try to refrain from
saying things which we truely dont mean. maybe your anger at some of the posts
became an issue, its escalating and frankly getting irritating on all of your parts.

Aplogies would be welcome but not expected, but it would show the bigger man/
woman in this situation!

again I say all of you please find your dam happy place!! la la la!!

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]

I know what king is saying, cause he doesnt have that far back so he would be
more then likely looking blindly at records.

if you get a definate on the town name and location, you can write to the church
if someone can get the address?

anyone willing to help KS locate a address of a Church so that he can write to them
and get some records?

USA, Canada / What kind of American food do Poles like most? [80]

No many recipes that are American, but I would suggest for a larger crowd
Barbaque Spareribs, or country style, depending on how many. but you could
cook them inside and par boil and then bake in oven with pineapple on them
with some sauce.

I think that would go over well as they are tender. Baked beans goes well with them
and good ole american Potato salad ,or even amish Potato salad.

stuffed shells is also a great idea with a nice ceaser salad and garlic bread.

its hard to really say these are just American dishes, because I dont know when
they came about, but these are some of the things eaten here, so when they
were created who knows, I dont really think we have true american dishes
because everyone came from europe and other countries and most of what we
eat are combined dishes .

if anything is American is the good ole hotdog. dont think you want to serve that
unique dish :) lol less your heading for a baseball game afterwards :)

Genealogy / Why are some Polish people dark complected, and others very light [511]


Correction Govt. many Americans are Immigrants which had no direct involvment
in slavery, or stealing lands. so lets be more specific, because I am polish and
sorry, but I am not paying for something my family never even came remotely close
to being involved in . I understand their past, and history changed alot since then
I dont think the african community suffered as much as poland did which happened
60 plus years ago and the comparison cant be even measured to. do I think they
deserve something now? Yes, respect as everyone does, do I think Poland deserves
more ( Hell yes) because they had much more loss, slaves in America might have
suffered, but nothing like in Europe. I would rather pick cotton and serve a master
then die in a gas chamber naked with my whole family next to me and knowing
your last breath would be minutes from that last thought.

I have no problems with people celebrating a national movement to secure their
rights as they should have them living in America, WHen I hear such stories it makes
me upset, because I feel its wrong to live here and someone dictate what drinking
fountain you can drink out of, but that is nothing compared to walking outside on
a street and soldiers hold up guns pointed at you or someone in your family and
take the children away sending them on trains far away from their parents while
these people get shot in streets and I could go on, so no, I dont feel they deserve
40 acres and 1 mule, this is 2007 and as Poland had to move on with bitterness
in their hearts, and memorials standing in every place where a mass grave was
dug, I think that the african Americans should move on too.

I give only my respect to those who make efforts to improve their lives in a
constructive way, this goes for any nation willing to go the distance to make their
lives better their own way, because life doesnt give handouts, we all know that!

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]


Michal, what gave you that bright conclusion? anyone in any job that doesnt pay
is bound to be bitter. why would you come on a polish site and spew garbage?

every man and womans dream is to become something. circumstances in family
or personal reason can set back goals of young perspectives who already have
been accepted into elite colleges. not sent to harvard by mommy and daddy
and had their way all their lives.

one thing I always said, book smart is great, common sense to keep your
hurtful comments to yourself , some just dont have it.


studying law and he generalizes. I hope you dont do that in court

dishonest hmm, thats sad that you would think all of Poland is dishonest.
hopefully no one polish enters the courtroom with you in it. they surely go to jail.

if you go back in time. I think my intuition would tell me that alot happened
to poland over the last few centuries and right now they are heading for the
light dont you think? maybe they stole the light? being so dishonest.

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


maxx, this can be any woman as long as she is brought up right.

you can take someone who is drop dead gorgeous and she might still have a
noodle missing, cant cook and really dont care if you get dinner or eat dog food
catch my drift :)

lots of nationalities have beautiful women, and it all boils down to getting to know
someone and truely feeling that special feeling. :)

And my dear brother is there , arent you :)

Life / The Polish Wedding - What is it Like in Poland? [338]

?.......... Who are you quoting?


if your talking about America, the Traditions Krysia is talking about might be from
english weddings, America isnt all Polish, dont forget theres a number of traditions
that actually are the same in some ways and different in some ways. I do believe
it is english wedding. another thing, one of my co-workers said, which is true
that people only knock down things they never experienced. I am so glad I dont
come in here and say bad things about Poland, but again, I dont feel that way
personally so I have nothing against something I never experienced.

America may not be for everybody, but dont step on your friends toes if you know
what I mean.

Love / Why Polish girl is very easy to approach and be in relationship? [63]


you just answered your own question. those who came from poland never had plans
to stay ( this is the impression I am getting) so those who are going back to poland
but only here to make money, sounds like she is getting free meals till its time to go
back. plus it also sounds like she doesnt want a permanent relationship , and of
course, saying those words and actually doing something about it are two different
things. if I woman really loves a man, you will know it by all the things she is doing
and her wanting to be there every day with you.


well he should not be sleepin with just anyone for starters
protection and respect were not the first thing on his mind.

well maybe things are bad with her and boyfriend.

it would not surprise me that she was getting used by your friend as well.

men who talk about what went on, are usually the braggin sort, and they arent
any better then those they surround. Id pick some not so gossip type friends
because in the end they wind up trying to mess in your relationships.


There are women who get paid for this, and then there are women who look
for something and get labeled.

then there are women who have been hurt so much they decide to go on a all
out rampage, making their mark wherever they go.

my only advice. for both men and women who are this way.

make sure you have things COVERED, and for women Make sure things are covered!

There is far to much risk now a days with just having FUN, Vs Getting married and
waiting for that right person and right time.

just make the right choices.


as well as men, whom do same and really this gets them now where fast.

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]


yes it could, because name spellings come up differently. never say never :)

Mormon site has a history center, they microfilmed tons of stuff in Poland.

you can do a town search and see what is microfilmed. do you have a local
history center?

ya know what I will check and see if you have any in Australia.
if you do, you can order these films and go copy the records of all folks pertaining
to your last name and figure it out from there.

pretty sure you will find something :)

Jankowice
Germany, Preußen, Posen, Jankowice
Jankowice (Poznań)
Poland, Poznań, Jankowice (Poznań)
Jankowice (Radom)
Poland, Kielce, Jankowice (Radom)

Jankowice Kościelne (Sandomierz)

Jankowice Wielkie (Brzeg)
Poland, Opole, Jankowice Wielkie (Brzeg)

King, these are all the Jankowice microfilms they filmed.

familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp

king, this is all the australia centers, so you do have resources.

I couldnt list them all, Admin would get mad at me for using up so much
space :)

but if you go into the genealogy sticky links, I posted the mormon link there
once you get into the site, go to the catalog section, type in the place etc

it also shows locations of family history librarys, you have alot in australia.
if you need any more help with it, I will be happy to direct you :)

ok, heres some more interesting reading about Jankowice, jankowo, which I do
have some ties to a town name jankowo, but prob not same name.

and seriously , these mormons can help you find resources, I am not kidding.
They did this for that reason (microfilmed).

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]


lol ok well email me if you want to not post the names online, understandable. :)

if not thats ok too, ive got ancestry to, but they don't help with Poland, that is
google searching, then I randomly email and get good responses. they send me
theirs and I send mine.

have you ever did a search in the FHL of the mormons site?

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]


king, is it sobieski? for some reason that town you mentioned sounds familiar
I do have sobieski name also in my tree, thats why that town is familiar

oh no, were cousins! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

did you find anyone in the immigration??

I have Sobecki and Sobieski, and I have pics of these folks too, I am going to look

What last names are you looking up?

for some reason jankowice sounds so familiar, like I have searched around that
area, but I am not positive. I know of Jankowo which is near Lomza.

Genealogy / Jankowice Town in Poland - records [77]

what time frame king? early 1900s? prior to that? later then that?

poland changed so much, so many times. when you mentioned jankowice
I was thinking malopolskie, the way to get the records is writing the parish
but you have to make sure cause now there are more churches.

Krysia can probably locate more then me with this one. or even Wroclaw.
I am better with states. but I did get docs from poland.

Language / What should I end my last name with? [16]

yes, they just used the male last name in the U.S. but I found out long time ago
the two different meanings for last name female being ska and male ski

I was also told, that the Sky Meant that they were from Russia. <~? scratches
head, and this was a cousin of mine. I didnt think that had anything to do with
it, because during two different time periods my grandma was german pole and
then she was russian pole

but I learned alot thru genealogy searches.

Language / What should I end my last name with? [16]


I do :) mom ska, dad ski

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

Hi 4thgrader , if you go to the genealogy section in the polish forums, you will find the
link you can click on steve morse website which will take you to a form you want to
type in your great grandfathers last name and put the year in between 1902 and 1904
and that will bring up all the people with your grandfathers last name. then you can
determine which one.

the last name I will find it and forward it to you or give you the link and the
directions to find it ok :) my daughter did genealogy too, so it can be hard
but starting it now, you will find alot of really cool stuff trust me :)

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]


Ignore me maxx, I hadnt had my ten cups of tea. lol


I wasnt mad, just frustrated. I have friends who are russian, she is so sweet
and so seeing this thread, well, of course its bothersome to see it keep coming
up, I am even guilty to respond, but I have to respond to your post to clear
up my end of the misunderstanding.

I think all women deserve respect, when we are children, we grow and we try
to learn what is right and wrong, and some do things not because they want to
but because they have to, society doesnt help those who turn in the wrong directions
and those who have to do things they wouldnt do otherwise just to put themselfs
through schooling to become a better person.

This is where I am coming from. I know, its not right to do things bad to people
and some do this because they are past help, and maybe are doing drugs or
just plain out have lost hope and have been treated badly for so long its a way of
life. yes there are some who take advantage. but as a woman, how can she
respect a man who is wanting things for money, or cheating, why should it be the
woman who lacks respect, when its the man who is asking for the deed?

just a thought that crossed my mind

Love / Polish Girls vs Russian Girls [813]


I know, I just wish this thread gone too.

my view on it, is someone coming to look at the site for polish forums and see
this and say What??

I know that there is allowable conversations or if you would debate
but this thread is hauntingly stupid, and I am sure newcomers think so too, some
of them.

Russian Girls Vs Polish Girls. and someone takes it to extreme by calling them
sluts. thats just so manly.... it wouldnt bother me if the so called children would
stop.

ok, I am done.
