Hi Debbie, Is this a trip that occurs every year, or is this a one time thing? Please let me know...this year would be difficult with 2 kids under age 4....
_The Ellis Island Collection Artifacts from the Immigrant Experience_ by Brad R. Tuttle. I found what is supposed to be a box full of artifacts belonging to an...
Brenda, I don't know if it's an annual trip but I do know they go often. Check their web site. There's probably an email address and you can ask. Debbie...
... Hi Justin, Sorry that your initial message to the group has been met with resounding silence. =) While you were on semanchuk.com, did you notice the Wolica...
I don't recall mentioning this but I have a Hujsak in my tree. I have so little info on her that it's almost not worth mentioning. But, I will. My great great...
Debbie, Allow me to use your phrase to ponder on something important. THOSE with Polish flags thank OTHERS for the reminder of one of the greates events in...
Wes, You were correct. Right now in America is a perfect time for all of us to talk about the immigrant Poles who made contributions to the U.S. (I think I get...
Debbie, Of course, it applies to all contributing nations. Kosciuszko was Belorusyn by blood, but he fought for the cause of freedom indiscriminately. It looks...
Has anyone explored the alternative spelling of "Hojszak?" There is a Stefania Hojszak that arrived from "Austria" in 1895 at Ellis Island and was headed to...
... Hi David, I don't speak Polish, but from what little I know I think Hojszak and Hujsak sound almost exactly alike (HOY-shack and HUY-sack). In addition, a...
There is a book on Ebay titled, "The Tatra Mountains" by Christian Parma, Warsaw 2001, in English that I thought might interest someone on this list. The book...
I hope y'all don't get upset that I post auctions I think someone would be interested in. Here's one for L~emko music records (remember those?) as in vinyl,...
Thanks for that, Debbie! Hope this is ok...I also found this site: http://www.arhoolie.com/titles/7030.shtml which has old village music from 1928-1933....
Mary-Ann, Well that's an interesting site! I'd never heard of the Arhoolie Foundation! Appears they are doing good things with ethnic music of all kinds. I...
I got word last night via another group that Yahoo was "having problems" so I checked my messages against those sent out by the group...sure enough I didn't...
Hi everyone, Speaking of price increase, here is one that I just experienced. The State Registrar of N.J. is now charging $25.00 per record as of January 1,...
This is quite a remarkable price jump indeed. There was much consternation when Pennsylvania increased the fee from $3.00 to $9.00 per death record, but that...
... I agree; that's the way it *should* go. One could argue that only a select group of individuals (genealogists and private investigators and ???) would...
Hi Debbie, The last time I ordered the certificates, I paid $4.00 each and they did not have a raised stamp on them; I don't think the ones they now want...
I suppose that this is better than an outright seal on the records, which was contemplated a few months back. Perhaps this is some sort of a compromise...
Here is a link to the West Virginia site of death certificates and more, which was aided by the Family History Library. Some of you may find kin here; I know...
Justin, Did you see the photos I took of Stefkowa last summer? http://www.polishfamily.com I took them for another "gen" friend whose family was also from...
Just thought I'd mention that Ebay is charging its listers a lower fee today only. That means a lot of stuff will be up for auction for the next five to seven...
A while back I had mentioned was trying to reach a cousin in the Ternowchek family from Pennsylvania (Mary Ann Ternowchek-Kelemen). If you recall, I had...
Mary-Ann, Great! Hopefully, you'll be able to get some good family info. You might ask your new cousin to bring down old photos of their side of the family...
Thanks for the note Philip. It is my hope to visit with Helen Starziski sometime this summer and, perhaps, to glean even more data about these families. She...
