Even though I was raised across the Atlantic Ocean in a small town in Idaho, I feel a connection to this land where all of my grandmother's family lived and died. When I was younger, I had this inner desire to know more about my Polish side of the family. I think that this drive lead me into genealogy even though I did not read Polish - I did learn to read the language.
I did not say anything about September 11 but it just breaks my heart to remember that day and the tears just start to run.

There is a wealth of heart and love that comes through in this post. What a momentous achievement to have learned to read Polish. That gives me much food for thought!
really neat places you've shared. i like the brick wall and simple wood fences, too. thanks, ruth.
wonderful places.but polish is one of the most difficult languages.
The church is fabulous, both inside and out! I am so glad you show the inside, because I would have asked.
A fascinating country. It's wonderful that you learned Polish in honour of your ancestry.
I love these posts about Poland. Kevin and I have been watching the (long) WWII series, 'War and Remembrance,' and of course Poland and the terrible things the Polish people suffered is not ignored in that series. I too think it is wonderful that you took it upon yourself to learn Polish, Ruth!
Such a lovely area. Thanks for sharing your roots

St. James looks stunningly beautiful!
Poland looks like a very historic country. I like the beautiful churches and the wonderful statues and fences you've shown here. I cried a few tears today as well.
The church is beautiful, and again, I sense such a peacefulness, here, Ruth. So glad you were able to visit your grandmother's birthplace, and feel this connection to your Polish roots.
