You should, when time permits, research your relatives. Poland has a rich culture, history and an outstanding line of folk music. Could be very interesting and enjoyable.

Any chance of tracing your kin?

There’s a possibility. Some went to England, and my mom - now deceased - and uncle flew there to see them many years ago. I regret that the ones in England are now deceased as well, and I never tried to contact them. Their children still live there. I had heard that they went to Poland quite often for visits.

My uncle is in his late 70’s. I should see if he has addresses. I would love to correspond with relatives in Poland. I still have some of my grandmother’s old letters (probably from the 1920’s, 30’s or 40’s) I can’t read them since they are all in Polish.

Mom used to listen to polkas every Sunday morning. I know they are probably not the same as the ones in Poland, but I loved them (and the Polish food!) just the same!
