Wordless Wednesday’s photo is a picture of my grandfather Richard Zalewski (in the back) and my great-great grandparents, Joseph & Clara (Szulta) Troka. I don’t have a date down for it, but I assume it’s sometime in the 1950s. Clara passed away in 1959 at the tough ol’ age of 83. Joseph died in on New Year’s Day in 1962 at the age of 90. He probably would have lived much longer, but he was hit by a drunk driver on his way to church in Milwaukee. You can read an excerpt from the newspaper article on my family tree site. Both Clara and Joseph were born in the Poland area and immigrated to the United States. They were married in Milwaukee in 1894.

Brian, I really like the title, “Tell Me Thursday.” I was doing something similar, Wordless Wednesday followed by a biographical sketch on Thursday, but I couldn’t come up with the alliteration. I’ll have to borrow yours!
I actually found it here – http://tellmethursday.com/ which I found via Twitter. Seemed like a good idea.
