Information, tips, and other interesting finds on this personal journey
I received this photo from another researcher that is also looking into some of my Polish family. They also just happen to cross with my ZALEWSKI family. This is a photo she sent me that is from July 1941 that includes my great-grandfather, Joseph ZALEWSKI, on the right and my great-uncle Robert … [Read more...]
This is as Irish as I can get today. I don't have many pictures of my CORRIGAN ancestors before this time. This is the Thomas CORRIGAN family with his wife Emma Jane FIRMENICH (who is also part German and French.) My great-grandfather, Maurice CORRIGAN, is their oldest son. My guess is that this … [Read more...]
This is a photo of my Grandpa, Richard Zalewski, and my younger brother, Joel in 1986. I'm assuming it's around Easter since that's where the photo was in the album. I like the fact that they're wearing matching shirts, or as we called them, "Grandpa Shirts." … [Read more...]

The child is not labeled, but I'm assuming it's my great-great-grandfather, Frank BRAATZ, … [Read more...]
The lady at the left is my great-great-grandmother, Anna (LINDNER) ZALEWSKI. There is no year on the photo, but it is before 1939 when Anna passed away. Maybe someone can tell from the car in the back. The remaininge two individuals were not noted on the photo, but I'm pretty sure the other lady is … [Read more...]
This is a photo of my great-grandmother, Agnes (BRAATZ) CORRIGAN and her younger brother, Frank BRAATZ, Jr. There is no date on the photo, but if I had to guess I'd say it's probably in 1910-11 or so. … [Read more...]
I've decided to start putting the descriptions with my Wordless Wednesday posts instead of posting them the next day. I feel it's sometimes confusing and more work to post the same thing twice rather than just saying it all on one day. I will still call it Wordless Wednesday, since that's the name … [Read more...]
