Post subject: Polish Origins Adventure - blog by Adrianne
Adrianne was our lovely guest on Genealogy Tour this summer. You can read her story now on our blog:
Today we published part 1: Introduction
"This trip was taken in honor of my mother, Wanda Wierzbicki Fortenberry. I wish she had been with me.
Between 1976 and 1984, my father and mother, with help from the rest of the family, researched and published a family history on my dad’s family, the Fortenberrys. During this time, mom would periodically attempt to research her parents’ Polish roots.
Because the internet and digitized records were still in the future, not much could be accomplished. So instead, she wrote the stories she had heard as a child. This is the story of my attempt to find the Polish roots of my grandmother, Pelagia Jaroszewska, from north of Płock and my grandfather, Rajmund Wierzbicki, from north of Łomza."

"As we entered Kumelsk by way of the rock road, Zenon asked a man on a tractor a few questions which guided us to a house in the village belonging to someone thought to have Dąbrowskis in her family. As it turned out, the lady was working in her yard full of beautiful
flowers and came to the fence to talk to Zenon. She said her name was Ursula Żebrowska, she was 83 years old, and her maiden name was Dąbrowska. Since Rajmund’s mother was named Barbara Dąbrowska we were hoping for a connection."

Today you can read the last part of Adrianne's story from her grandparents' homeland:
"It is hard to say goodbye"
http://blog.polishorigins.com/2014/12/05/polish-origins-adventure-part-8-it-is-hard-to-say-goodbye/
"Upon arriving we met the lovely lady shown below. Her name is Krystyna Frymarkiewicz, and is 83 years old. When she was shown the picture of the teen, she immediately began talking and smiling. It was HER. The 65 year old picture I had at my house was of HER!"
