Yes, I love the traditional clothing too. My grandmother Aniela Lenart was born in Załuczne, about 25 km west of Waksmund, and the clothing was very similar. I am grateful that your family shared them - they ARE amazing!

I found another picture. This is of Franciszek Bem in his later years. These notes were with the picture...

Ks. Franciska Bema C.R. (Francis Bem) was Stanley Bem’s brother. He was a priest from 1936 to 1961. As a Catholic Priest his tribute was Phillippians 4, 13 There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me “Wszystko moge w tym, ktroy mnie umacnia”

Hello Cheri,

I do not know the exact date. They are pre WWII I believe. I would guess the mid to late 1930s, but again I am not positive. I believe the photos were taken in Waksmund as that is where the family is from.

It is the first mass of our Franciszek Bem . It is a celebration and everyone is dress for the occasion. I am in love with the traditional dress for special occasions. The details and workmanship are incredible in the pictures. I must thank our family in Poland for sharing these incredible pictures with us. They are amazing.
