Thank You very much to You and Your friends. My husband was very happy when I told him that You sent me messages. I showed to him that ship Pretoria. He sent message to his father in Poland, he cried was so touched. I hope we will be abble to find Wladislaw Wojtania's family here, in Usa. Do You think You can talk to Your friends about it ? Do You think, is it possible to find them? To know if they can speak polish language? I hope so. Is also ok if not at all. Please send many thanks to Your friends, They did wonderful great job, because it is about family we love, about just knowing what happend to g-g-father after he left. More for my father in law, because he would like to know what happend to his g-father here in America, how his life looked like, what he achieved here. Why he didn't come back or didn't call his wife to join him. He is looking just for explanation to more understand his decision. He still remember his g-mom face when she talked about him. He left wife and about 5 or 6 children in Poland, I do not remember exactly how it was. Lori, New Year is just round the corner so We wish all of You another happy Year and even better than this 2007. And to your friends to find our family. Take care , Jolanta >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MESSAGE FOR PROFESSIONAL HELP PLEASE, Sent on December 22, 2007 Merry Christmas My Geni Friends, It is the season to be extremely busy preping for the wonderful days of Christmas, but when everyone gets back from all the hussel & bussel & glee.....................there is no rush, but I need the help of all the Profession Genealogists that are kindly giving to us their expertise. A beautiful Nurse, that took care of my husband when he had a stroke day before Thanksgiving.............but it was a mild ITA, Praises to the LORD. She & husband are from Poland and have only been here a few years, and I love her beautiful Polish accent. She was indebted to the hospital contract with her training and she was unable to be at her Mother's side when she died 6 months ago. Now she is full of saddnes and remorse that she was not there on her Mother's last journey. She says she can barely cope with Christmas and the holidays, and asks her mother to forgive her for what she did. Very sad ! But she said she & family will adhere to the Polish tradition to dress the Christmas tree and with Polish music of the holy night on Christmas Eve.. She said fondly she can still smell Christmas time in Poland, and she had started her baking with tears in her heart. Her husband has no information on his Grandfather: WLADYSLAW WOJTANIA Birthday: 1876 He left Poland in 1913 & came to New York. His wife was to follow the following year, but she decided that she didn't want to leave Poland. They heard from him for a few years and then all trace of him vanished? ? ? Wish you and all your loving families a wonderful Christmas and a New Year filled with only the Best of the Best !
