"This trip was such a learning experience for me that I never will forget; I realize that the Polish people are very resilient and very hard workers. They will not be put down, looking at history of how their country was destroyed and had actually ceased to exist; they rebuilt it and still kept much of the history! It is truly a tribute to the Polish people, and makes me very proud to be Polish."

This is introduction to the blog "My Journey to Poland" by Mary Ann: http://blog.polishorigins.com/2014/01/24/my-journey-to-poland-part-1/. Today we published its first part and during the whole next week you will have chance to read and see the next 5 posts of Mary Ann story from her trip to Poland.

Thank you Mary Ann http://polishorigins.com/mrbmagic for sharing your memories and observations with us Exclamation

"Arriving in Poland at last! (...) As our drive continued through which appeared to be a highway through a forest, reminding me a lot of northern Michigan; I noticed peddlers on the side of the rode selling berries and other food items..."

"We drove to Dzierzbia, where my Father and my Grandmother (maternal) were born. We drove through the village (about 140 people) with dairy farmers. We found a little store and post office, it looked like a garage, went back and rang a bell, a woman came from the house to help. (...) The neighbor came to the fence and told us to wait, and he went down the road. When he came back he told us to go see the oldest woman in the village who might be able to help..."

"After breakfast we headed to Romany. On the way we needed to pull over for a herd of cows being moved back to the pasture; apparently due to the storm last night the cows were brought to high ground due to flooding . We met with the priest, who said he was new at this parish for only one week and his rectory is also under remodeling! He was very gracious and allowed us to look at the church records, some of the books over 100 years old!"

"After breakfast we drove back to Romany to finish searching the cemetery. Took photos of several graves with family names. We drove out to Korytki-Lesne, which again is a very small village; stopped to ask if any of the names researching sounded familiar and were told almost everybody here has the last name of Korytkowski!"
