On my fathers side of the family through my grandma everyone is polish. And after this past weekend I discovered a lot about my family that I never even knew. Back track for a minute, this all started about a year ago my aunt starting doing research on the family and every time she comes up she always has something new to tell us about the family and I always find it so fascinating to learn where exactly I came from. Anyways back to my weekend of discovering my heritage, I found out that this side of my family is actually new to America, and that I still have family over in Poland that I could go visit one day. You see the only family that I had come over here were my great grandparents the rickly's and my cousins the Visnieski's, they arrived in the late 1920's and ended up here in Oklahoma. I am still amazed that I have family in Poland and to be honest its definitely inspired me to want to learn more about my family, maybe even learn how to speak polish, because I have always wanted to visit Poland just because that is where a big part of my family is from and I know by going there I could learn even more about my family heritage. Also being able to speak the language wouldn't hurt either especially if I end up meeting the other half of my family.
