Also, how often would they attend College or University? And would those colleges tend to more often be parochial or secular colleges?<br /> <br /> I ask this because I am finding cases where young Polish men seem to be traveling to cities in distant parts of Poland, and sometimes meeting their wives and getting married there. And sometimes young men coming from more rural (farmer and peasant) families, which might not have any other connections to the bigger cities. https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=45630#45630 starshadow Wed Oct 16, 2019 11:35 pm https://forum.polishorigins.com/viewtopic.php?p=45630#45630
